The current state of global affairs is a mess, and we can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines after this truly hellish year. Putin's War in Ukraine poses a direct threat to all of Europe, and the ongoing Trade War with America has significant implications for our economy. As Trump becomes increasingly cruel and cornered by his comments about Rob Reiner, the allegations of the US murdering the men floating on pieces of a boat, and the Epstein Files release deadline, his actions and reports of the rising MAGA movement and Fascism in Canada cannot be ignored.

Moreover, we are witnessing horrific events like the recent Anti-Semitic terror attack in Australia. At the same time, MAGA propaganda continues to infiltrate Canadian media, fueled by figures like Poilievre and his crew. The rampant corruption by Conservative Premiers, such as Smith and Ford, has left our Scandal Panel—comprising Keith Leslie and Mark Cripps—in a justified fury as we approach the holidays. (Apologies for all the swearing)

However, amidst this darkness, there are glimmers of hope. The global resistance to tyranny and the calm, steady leadership from Premier Carney offer us a path forward. The panel also raises a toast to the courage and innovation of the Ukrainian people who are lighting the way for the free world.

Canadians need to unite in the face of tyranny, and this panel is here to provide not just analysis, but laughter and wisdom as we seek to protect peace and democracy.

Now is the time for you to take action. Subscribe, share, and leave your comments—we read them all! Together, we can work toward a brighter future for 2026. Let's not just hope for change; let’s be the change we wish to see!

With Trump’s alarming death threats against Democratic leaders and his sickening support for authoritarian regimes and aggressive treatment of female reporters, the risk to democracy is soaring. On the home front, the US Ambassador is back to bullying us, demanding that Canada invest in fighter jets or else. Yet, while these pressures mount, Prime Minister Mark Carney is stepping up, cultivating strong international alliances and earning high praise from countries like Sweden—all while skillfully managing a substantial budget.

Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre’s so-called Clown Party of Canada is hiding behind the curtains during the budget vote they lost! On top of that, we have Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles being ousted from Queen's Park for courageously calling out Premier Ford’s corruption amidst the #StripperGate scandal. It’s undeniably been a whirlwind week in Canadian politics!

With the Trump administration issuing alarming threats about eradicating "narco-terrorism" in our Hemisphere after accusing Canada of having drug cartels and sending fentanyl to the USA, and ramping up military action in Venezuela, not to mention the shocking revelations from the Epstein emails, we are witnessing a tumultuous week in politics that demands our attention.

This special Double Header episode with Douglas Connors breaks down the tantalizing drama surrounding Pierre Poilievre's faltering leadership and MP defections. As poll numbers reveal a shifting political landscape in Canada, we must ask: Is the Epstein Files bombshell the beginning of the end for the MAGA movement and its waning appeal in Alberta, led by MAGA-friendly Danielle Smith and Poilievre's maple MAGA Conservative Party?

Additionally, we engage with Guy Felicella, a passionate global advocate for Housing First and harm reduction, a resident of BC. He lays bare the reality that Poilievre’s rhetoric and policies fall short of being fiscally responsible, particularly when contrasted with the proven Housing First model. Guy shares his deeply personal story and raises a pressing question: Will Prime Minister Mark Carney's housing strategy be sufficient to confront the crisis that is forcing hundreds of thousands of Canadians to suffer on our streets this winter?

In a week filled with intense political upheaval, the landscape has never been more charged.

Not to mention, Zohan Mamdani has taken NYC by storm, and the implications are profound. Is the angry populist moment finally ending? Can politics return to serving the people and promoting prosperity for all? Is democracy making a comeback as we prepare for Remembrance Day?

Get ready for a thrilling Halloween Week OShow that you won't want to miss! This week, we delve into the heart of darkness in Canadian politics, discussing the critical issues shaping our nation today, and have some laughs along the way with Douglas Conners and host Laura Babcock.

Consider Carney's recent meeting with the President of China; it’s a pivotal moment that could redefine Canada's international relationships! Then there's Trump's alarming tariff threat over a Reagan commercial funded by Ontario tax dollars—this is more than just political theatre; it impacts all Canadians directly. Add to that the insulting behaviour of the US Ambassador to Canada, and relations have never been more fraught.

We can't overlook Ford's growing Skills Development Fund kickback scandal, which raises questions about trust in his leadership. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's use of the notwithstanding clause to pressure teachers back to work raises critical concerns about education and workers' rights. And let's not forget the massive ongoing petition to prevent Separation, a move that could significantly shift the landscape of Canadian unity.

As if that weren't enough, Pierre Poilievre is continually facing unfavourable headlines that further complicate the future of the Canadian Conservative Party. This week’s OShow promises to be packed with insights and analysis that will equip you to engage in these vital conversations. Don’t let the critical happenings slip by—join us and stay informed!

In this gripping episode, we confront the alarming actions of President Trump, who stopped all Canadian trade negotiations over a TV ad by Ontario Premier Doug Ford. It's time to ask: what was Ford thinking? Such reckless behaviour not only jeopardizes our economy but also seems to fly in the face of Prime Minister Carney's strategy to announce a trade deal soon.

The panel takes a bold stand against Pierre Poilievre’s harmful MAGA rhetoric. As Canada faces unprecedented challenges to our economy and sovereignty, we must unite against the divisive politics that do nothing but create chaos. Now is not the time for silence—we cannot afford to let misinformation and anti-Canadian lies flourish. It’s time to expose the truth behind Poilievre's dangerous agenda and the American influences that seek to erode our values. Also, sign the petition to hold Canadian politicians accountable https://politicalhonesty.ca/

Mark Cripps shares a profoundly personal account warning about letting being a crime victim make you angry and grievance-fuelled. His powerful story about how, when he saw his 14-year-old brother Jason killed by a drunk driver, he fought for new legislation and spent 30 years educating people about drunk driving reminds us that fighting for justice and positive change is far more impactful than indulging in hatred and lies.

As Canadians, we must rally together to uphold our values and stand firm against the disinformation threatening our nation. Furthermore, let’s not forget to embrace the pride that comes with supporting our home team—the Toronto Blue Jays—during this World Series. It’s a moment for all Canadians to come together, celebrate our national spirit, and support Canada’s Team with unwavering enthusiasm!

Join the conversation, take action, and let's champion a future that reflects the best of what Canada stands for. Together, we can make a difference! 🇨🇦

With Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre escalating his MAGA-style rhetoric and depicting our Canadian cities as war zones, it’s time for all Canadians to take a stand. His blatant challenges to the RCMP regarding their investigation into the SNC-Lavalin scandal and his alarming policies on immigration are making our nation vulnerable to those who wish to undermine it. We cannot afford to remain silent; we must call him out now to prevent Canada from heading down a dangerous path like America's.

Fearless former Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne stands up against this trend in a spirited conversation with host Laura Babcock. Wynne doesn't shy away from criticizing Premier Doug Ford either, condemning his "parking lot thuggery" and actions surrounding the Greenbelt Scandal and the controversial Skills Development Fund Fiasco.

As a former educator, Wynne passionately advocates for the teachers’ strike in Alberta and the critical need for increased funding for public schools across Canada. This is about more than just politics—it's about our values and the future we want for our children.

Join Kathleen and Laura as they dissect the true motives of leaders like Trump and Ford, emphasizing the urgent need to defend democracy in our homes and communities, and through movements like the #nokings protest on October 18.
