Conservative MP Rachel Thomas presses officials on how the Google media fund is being administered. And, there are serious concerns raised about Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program; how it's monitored, who's accountable, and whether enough safeguards exist. Plus: Michael Barrett wants the Finance Minister to come before a committee and answer questions about his potential conflict of interest regarding ALTO high speed rail. 
If you want a fast, informative breakdown of what's happening in Ottawa right now, this is the episode to hear.

There are big emotions across the country after the Liberals secure a new majority government.

It's a brand new week of Scott Fox After 9, and Scott gets you caught up on everything you may have missed over the weekend — including Rory McIlroy's historic win at the Masters and Justin Bieber's iconic performance at Coachella. Scott also shares highlights from the KATSEYE / HUNTR/X performance of Golden.
Today is shaping up to be a historic moment in Canadian politics. With byelections happening tonight, the Liberals could secure a majority government that Canadians didn't directly vote for. Scott breaks down what could change if that happens and calls out more media hypocrisy along the way.
This episode includes audio from Diana Fox Carney, Karina Gould, Matt Jeneroux, Chris d'Entremont, and Marilyn Gladu.

Marilyn Gladu has crossed the floor from the Conservatives to the Liberals, and Scott has questions. Lots of them. On today's episode, Scott plays back some of Gladu's past anti-Liberal speeches and tries to make sense of how someone can seemingly flip their entire political ideology overnight. Is this a genuine change of heart? Or is there more going on behind the scenes? Scott walks through several possible explanations, from political strategy to pressure, and asks the question many are thinking but few are saying out loud.
Scott also shares his growing belief that Prime Minister Mark Carney doesn't trust the polls enough to call an election for a majority government. Instead, is there a quieter strategy unfolding through moves like this? Plus, a quick look at Carney speaking with the Artemis crew as Canada continues to play a role in one of the most exciting space missions in decades.

Ana Almeida makes a big announcement on today's episode of Scott Fox After 9. She's leaving Scott's morning radio show; but for all the right reasons. Ana has earned a well-deserved promotion, and Scott takes the time to do something radio doesn't always do: explain it. No vague send-offs or unanswered questions. Just transparency, appreciation, and a proper send-off so listeners fully understand what's happening behind the scenes.
In part two, the focus shifts to Ottawa, where the questions are anything but soft. Conservative MP Andrew Lawton presses a doctor on MAID practices in Canada, while Michael Cooper grills investigative journalist Sam Cooper over Mark Carney and Brookfield's business ties to China. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister makes a stop in Brampton to announce another $50 billion in infrastructure spending, fields questions on rising gas prices without offering solutions, and defends his Finance Minister amid growing concerns about a potential conflict of interest tied to Alto high-speed rail.
