Tucker Carlson was fired by Fox News last year after a settlement was reached over false election claims.
He's often accused of spreading dangerous rhetoric and misinformation.
Four thousand people headed to the Telus Convention Centre for his afternoon speech and two Q-and-A sit-downs.
Over 90 minutes, the polarizing figure took repeated aim at the Canadian federal government and the need to "liberate" the country's citizens.
