Scott Fox After 9

On today's Scott Fox After 9, Scott weighs in on two major moments from the worlds of sports and pop culture, reacting to Lindsey Vonn's frightening Olympic crash and breaking down Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, including what worked, what didn't, and why it continues to spark debate.

The episode then turns darker with a disturbing update on the Epstein Files. Newly surfaced documents suggest Jeffrey Epstein's death may have been referenced in official paperwork a full day before it actually occurred. It has also come to light that Epstein allegedly ordered large quantities of sulphuric acid to his island shortly after the FBI began investigating him, raising even more troubling questions.

Plus, a loaded audio lineup: Chrystia Freeland on Bill Maher, where she appears to talk down to Americans while discussing China's human rights record, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford announcing the launch of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT; a project plagued by years of delays and now more than $1 billion over budget.

Today's Scott Fox After 9 is a Listener DM's episode, and it's one of the most honest conversations we've had. Many of you are feeling fear and anxiety about Canada's future — the middle class being ignored, Alberta separation talk, distrust in government, and real concerns about savings, pensions, and whether the system is still working for everyday people.

At the same time, there is hope and humanity woven throughout today's messages. Listeners share emotional stories about choosing family over career, the small reminders of why we keep pushing forward, and how Pierre Poilievre's recent speech connected with parents and working Canadians across political lines.

We also tackle money and fairness, including GST rebates and take-home pay, trust in institutions like police and government transparency, and fears around elections and accountability. Scott amplifies an urgent message from municipal road workers facing harassment and threats, and rounds things out with conversations on Epstein, pop culture, Tate McRae, and politics bleeding into everything — because this is what life in Canada feels like right now.

Today: A jam-packed episode you won't want to miss!

We kick things off with Scott weighing in on a trio of huge headlines — from charges laid against multiple Toronto police officers, to Tate McRae representing Team USA in Olympic ads despite being Canadian, and the arrest of rising hockey star Gavin McKenna.

Today's Scott Fox After 9 tackles one of the most disturbing and difficult stories in recent memory. The first half of the episode is built around Scott's deep dive into the newly released Epstein files — documents many people are talking about, but few are willing to read. Some of the material is deeply unsettling. Scott walks listeners through what stands out, why it matters, and asks the most important question of all: why haven't charges been laid? You'll hear audio from Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, and others connected to the story, along with the voices of victims. Scott presents this carefully and responsibly, offering context, clarity, and humanity for listeners who want to understand the issue without being overwhelmed by the raw documents themselves.

Scott also addresses the growing swirl of conspiracy theories surrounding the case — from reptilian elites to claims about political body doubles — separating fact from fiction while explaining why these theories take hold in moments like this. It's an honest, grounded conversation designed to inform, not inflame, and to help listeners think critically about what they're hearing online.

In part two, the focus shifts to Canadian politics. Hear highlights from Prime Minister Mark Carney's remarks in Ottawa as he introduces former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, followed by news of Conservative MP Jamil Jivani announcing his upcoming trip to Washington to negotiate a trade deal with the United States. It's a wide-ranging episode that moves from hard truths to real-world politics — exactly what After 9 does best.

Today on Scott Fox After 9, we kick things off with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell weighing in on Bad Bunny's controversial halftime performance, before diving into two stories that raise some serious red flags. The federal Liberals have ordered vaccine injury records sealed for at least 15 years and quietly gave themselves permission to delete emails and text messages after just 30 days. Transparency? Accountability? We'll let you decide — but both moves are undeniably shady.

You'll also hear Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman grill the Finance Minister over the grocery rebate — and his refusal to answer, plus a stunning admission in committee that only 9 of the Liberals' promised 500,000 homes are actually move-in ready. Alberta Independence Petition spokesperson Jeff Rath explains why many Albertans are eager to stop paying federal income tax, GST, and carbon taxes, and we wrap with President Trump laying out his plans for Cuba while taking shots at Trevor Noah for what he calls a terrible job hosting the Grammys. Buckle up — it's one of those episodes.

On today's Scott Fox After 9, we start with the bombshell Epstein Files document dump. The DOJ now has evidence in hand, names are known, and serious questions remain—why haven't charges been laid, and who is being protected? We break down what's been released, what it means, and why public trust is once again being tested.

The heart of today's episode, though, is about hope. Following a decisive leadership review win, Pierre Poilievre delivers a message that clearly resonated with Canadians looking for change. You'll hear key moments from his speech, along with perspectives from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Conservative influencer Jasmine Laine. For a middle class that's been stretched thin and searching for optimism, this episode captures why many are feeling something they haven't in a while—hope for what comes next.

Listener DMs Friday is back — and this week the inbox is on fire. Scott reacts to your messages on immigration and asylum rules, frustration with GST grocery rebates, middle-class anger over being left out of government relief, and growing concern over Canadians leaving the country. There's also blunt listener feedback on Doug Ford, tariffs, and whether people are finally reaching a breaking point.

Plus, thoughtful and emotional messages on the tragic Kitchener overpass crashes, housing and infrastructure failures, ICE enforcement from a Democrat listener's perspective, the Conservative leadership race, and even a deep dive into earthquakes, space weather, and Niagara Falls' economic reality. Raw, real, and listener-driven — this episode is the pulse of the After 9 audience.

In this focused special edition of Scott Fox After 9, attention turns to growing talk of provincial sovereignty in Canada. With renewed rhetoric around Alberta and Quebec potentially pursuing separation, Scott brings together key audio and responses from Canadian premiers across the country.

Hear how provincial leaders are reacting, what they believe is driving the frustration behind these discussions, and whether sovereignty talk is political posturing—or a real warning sign for national unity. This episode cuts through the noise to examine what's being said, what's being avoided, and what it could mean for the future of Confederation.

A must-listen for anyone following Canadian politics, federal–provincial tensions, and the evolving unity debate.

Today on Scott Fox After 9, we break down the Bank of Canada's decision to hold interest rates steady and what that means for Canadians already feeling squeezed. Hear directly from Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem as Scott digs into why rate relief didn't come — and whether it's still on the horizon. The conversation also takes a hard look at the growing wave of job losses across Canada, and why economic warning signs are flashing despite official reassurances.

Also on the show: a deep dive into the inter-provincial trade barriers that continue to limit Canada's economic potential, even as leaders talk about unity. Member of Parliament Michael Chong weighs in on why Canada still lacks a foreign influence registry, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent offers new comments on the now-infamous phone call between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney. Plus, hear Ontario Premier Doug Ford and New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt discuss "Team Canada," cooperation between provinces, and what working together is supposed to look like — and a lot more.

After a few heavy days of nonstop politics, today's Scott Fox After 9 eases up a bit—while still keeping an eye on the headlines. Scott starts with a surprising overnight earthquake in Ontario, then turns to Marineland, which is now a step closer to getting government approval to move its beluga whales and dolphins to U.S. marine facilities. And yes… the Maple Leafs lost again, with post-game audio from head coach Craig Berube and captain Auston Matthews as the frustration continues to grow.

On the political side, Kevin O'Leary weighs in on Canada–U.S. relations, saying a deal will get done because the two countries need each other. You'll also hear audio from Question Period in the House of Commons and an update on the federal gun buyback program, after it emerged some firearm owners are being offered less than fair market value.

Finally, Scott plays a collection of archived audio from senior U.S. Democratic leaders—including Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Bill Clinton—all previously arguing for mass deportations and warning about the strain illegal immigration places on Americans. Today, their messaging has shifted dramatically. Scott asks the key question: did their ideology change, or is this a political attack meant to make President Trump look bad?
