Scott Fox After 9

Gas prices are surging again across Canada, and Scott opens today's episode asking a simple question: why? Canada is one of the most resource-rich energy countries in the world, yet Canadians continue to pay some of the highest prices at the pump. Scott breaks down how pricing tied to futures markets can drive costs higher even when supply is strong, why many gas companies are making enormous profits right now, and how taxes remain a major factor in what Canadians ultimately pay.

Scott also looks ahead to upcoming federal by-elections in Ontario and Quebec, where some Conservatives are worried the results could signal momentum toward a majority Liberal government. Scott says: relax. He walks through several realistic scenarios that could reshape the political landscape in the months ahead. Plus, you'll hear audio from Prime Minister Mark Carney wrapping up his overseas trip and President Donald Trump providing an update on the evolving situation in Iran.

In this episode of Scott Fox After 9, Scott returns after a few days off the radio and finally explains the unexpected medical issue that sidelined him. It's a strange story, and one he probably won't forget anytime soon.

Then it's time to open the inbox. Ana Almeida joins this episode to read Listener DM's.

Scott dives into two weeks' worth of listener DMs covering everything from Doug Ford's OSAP changes, the rising cost of living in Canada, Mark Carney's policies, and frustrations about post-secondary affordability. Listeners also weigh in on Olympic hockey, MLSE food prices, beef costs, politics, referendums, and whether Canadians are losing faith in the political system.

As always, the conversation is unfiltered, honest, and driven by the audience.

Scott dives deep into Pierre Poilievre's trip to Europe, featuring audio from speeches delivered in London and Berlin and a closer look at his appearance on the popular Triggernometry podcast. Poilievre shares his views on Net Zero policy, Canada's resilient younger generation, and the growing tensions around trade with the United States.

Scott also breaks down the latest comments from Mark Carney on the conflict in Iran. After earlier signals of restraint, Carney now refuses to rule out Canadian military involvement, raising new questions about the government's evolving position.

And in a clip from The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan offers a unique perspective on the debate over rights for transgender people during a conversation with Steve-O.

A packed episode that sets the stage perfectly for tomorrow's Friday Listener DM's edition of Scott Fox After 9. 🎙️

Prime Minister Mark Carney is shifting his tone. After initially expressing support for the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, Carney is now criticizing the operation for not going through international bodies like the United Nations. What changed? Was it new intelligence, diplomatic pressure, or political calculation?

On today's Scott Fox After 9, Scott breaks down Carney's evolving position and plays extended audio from the Prime Minister himself — including pointed exchanges during a media Q&A where he offers little clarity on how Canada plans to confront India amid ongoing interference concerns raised by Canadian intelligence agencies.

You'll also hear reaction from U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as Scott analyzes what this moment means for Canada's global posture and credibility.

This is the full context you're not getting in 30-second clips.

On today's episode of Scott Fox After 9, Scott breaks down British Columbia's move toward permanent daylight saving time and what it could mean for people living in Vancouver and across the province. He also examines comments from David Eby, who denies his government was consulted after the federal government signed over title rights in the Greater Vancouver area. Scott walks through the political implications, the jurisdictional questions, and how these decisions could directly affect residents and businesses.

In Ontario, Doug Ford outlines plans to finally build a road to the Ring of Fire, shares new details about a proposed convention centre in Toronto, and announces a small agreement with Tim Houston that would allow direct alcohol purchases between provinces.

The second half of the episode features extended audio from testimony by Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton regarding the Epstein files, highlighting the key exchanges and the moments where direct answers were avoided.
