Scott Fox After 9

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?

Today we break down Mark Carney's big announcement on a new GST grocery rebate aimed at easing cost-of-living pressures — what it means for Canadian consumers and the politics around it. We also dig into Premier Doug Ford's apparent flip-flop on allowing Chinese electric vehicles into Canada's auto market, including his surprising comment that relations with the Prime Minister are "great again" despite recent public disagreements.
Then from the U.S., we feature audio from the White House Press Secretary addressing the lawlessness in Minnesota after the controversial ICE-related shootings and federal enforcement operations. We contrast that with archived remarks from President Obama and Secretary Clinton supporting mass deportations when they were in office — exposing another example of media and political hypocrisy in how similar issues are covered and reacted to by different sides of the political sphere.

Another ICE-related shooting in Minnesota has sparked protests and fierce opposition — but why is it happening there and not in states like Florida or Texas? Scott breaks down the politics, the reaction, and whether Democrats are quietly shaping the narrative behind the scenes.
Plus, hear key audio following President Trump's latest social posts accusing Canada of working with China, with responses from PM Carney, the Canadian Ambassador to the U.S., and U.S. Commerce Secretary Scott Bessent. Also, Scott weighs in on the Maple Leafs' brutal season and previews the Super Bowl matchup.

Today on Scott Fox After 9, the World Economic Forum takes center stage — and the headlines coming out of Davos are anything but small.
You'll hear President Donald Trump's most talked-about remarks from the WEF, including signals that a deal involving Greenland may be moving closer to reality. What would that mean geopolitically, and why is it suddenly back on the table?
Also from Davos, Howard Lutnick breaks down what "America First" actually means, why the U.S. is doubling down on it, and why he believes other countries should be doing the same — even if it disrupts the global consensus.
Plus, Ezra Levant hits the streets of Davos, speaking directly with Canadian political and business leaders outside the official halls, offering a raw, unscripted look at what Canadians in power are really saying when the cameras aren't rolling.
Back home, Ontario Premier Doug Ford joins auto industry leaders to sound the alarm over Chinese electric vehicles entering the Canadian market. What does it mean for Canadian jobs, domestic manufacturing, and national security — and why is this suddenly becoming a major political flashpoint?
Global power shifts, economic nationalism, and big questions about Canada's place in a rapidly changing world — it's all in today's Scott Fox After 9.
