Scott Fox After 9

Scott got an unexpected phone call last night from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who reached out after hearing Scott had lost his radio job. Scott shares the story of their conversation and what the gesture meant to him.

Also today: President Donald Trump makes his final pitch to voters ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. There's an update on the deadly private jet crash in Florida, and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation takes aim at Premier Doug Ford over Ontario's growing debt. Scott breaks down just how much taxpayers are spending on interest.

Plus, exchanges in the House of Commons over castle laws, MAID and affordability, and a closer look at proposals to regulate Canada's internet using European rules.

While Canadians were distracted by Halloween weekend, an important discussion about Canada's future relationship with the European Union received very little attention.

In this special edition of Scott Fox After 9, hear extensive audio from Prime Minister Mark Carney and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen discussing the possibility of Canada becoming an associate member of the EU. Both leaders are pitching closer ties as a win for Canadians. Scott breaks down their comments and asks two simple questions:

What's in it for the average middle-class Canadian?

And why does protecting Canadian sovereignty from the United States mean we should surrender any of it to the European Union?

This is a conversation every Canadian should hear. Listen to what was said, consider the implications, and decide for yourself.

Is America preparing for a military strike against Iran? Tucker Carlson raised alarming questions on social media last night, while Joe Rogan is talking about stocking up on emergency supplies. But what evidence is there, and should we be taking these warnings seriously? Scott examines the claims, questions the sourcing, and asks what's really going on?

Also today: A horrific crash near Cambridge claims the lives of four teenagers and injures two others. Hear audio from the OPP's news conference. Plus, cockpit audio and discussion surrounding a deadly private jet crash in Florida, and Pierre Poilievre takes questions from reporters in Ottawa about upcoming byelections, Canada's growing debt, the federal budget, and affordability for middle-class Canadians.
