The Alberta Candidate Taking on Pierre Poilievre and Ottawa's Disconnect
In this special edition of The Lavigne Show, host Jason Lavigne sits down with Jonathan Bridges, the People's Party of Canada candidate running in the pivotal August 18th byelection, one that has brought Pierre Poilievre himself out west in an attempt to secure a safe Conservative seat.
But Jonathan isn't your average opponent. A mechanic, father of five, man of deep faith, and two-time PPC candidate, Bridges is rooted in the rural realities of Alberta. He speaks candidly about what drove him to politics: the lockdowns, the erosion of freedoms, and a desire to build a better country for his children, not one buried in debt and detached from its people.
Together, we explore:
- Why he believes the PPC is the only party that truly understands rural Alberta
- The fallout from COVID-19 mandates on mental health, church life, and local businesses
- His thoughts on independence, representation, and Pierre Poilievre’s absentee candidacy
- Why one PPC seat could tip the balance in Ottawa and spark real change
This is more than just an election. It’s a referendum on Ottawa’s arrogance and Alberta’s future.
📍Jonathan Bridges is local. He’s not a parachute candidate. He knows the land, the work, and the values of the people he hopes to represent.
📆 By-election Date: August 18, 2025

Folks,
Paula and I are beat after a long night showing The Shot and driving home.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Hi all,
Paula and I are taking a mid-week day off.
See you tomorrow with Frances Widdowson.
Stay warm, God bless.
Paula & Jay on the @TheLavigneShow are two of my favorite people. I am a supporter because I believe in their honesty, integrity & most of all their dedication to truth & the Alberta Independence Movement. I wrote a song about our quest for freedom, it is called My Alberta Home. You can find a demo of the song on my X page Michael Kosterman @MichaelKosterm2
We are headed into the studio later this spring to record a Radio Version of this song. Thank you Paula & Jay for all that you do. I will be coming to see you soon at one of your events! All my best & God Save Alberta!
