Canada may have had a quiet weekend for breaking news, but there are still plenty of important stories worth digging into. On today's episode, Scott takes a closer look at several issues that deserve more than just a quick headline.
New polling suggests many Canadians aren't confident Prime Minister Mark Carney can negotiate a strong trade deal with the United States. Scott explains what the numbers could mean. He also weighs in on Doug Ford's transportation controversy, arguing Ontario's premier does need fast, reliable travel—but taxpayers may already own the perfect solution. Plus, why Toronto's Billy Bishop Airport expansion appears to be dead, the Gordie Howe International Bridge finally opens to traffic today, and Florida prepares to study whether the inexpensive generic drug Ivermectin has potential as a cancer treatment. Scott explains why promising generic drugs often struggle to attract major clinical trials, and why the economics of drug development can sometimes shape which treatments get studied.

Today's episode is another edition of Listener DM's Friday, featuring your comments, questions, and observations on the biggest stories shaping Canada right now. Scott responds to listener messages covering everything from his commitment to having an open-door policy if elected as an MP, to interprovincial trade, Doug Ford, Mark Carney, immigration, firearms laws, wildfire management, AI, government power, media coverage, and the growing political divide in Canada. Whether you agree or disagree, this episode is about hearing different perspectives and encouraging thoughtful discussion.
You'll also hear the latest remarks from Prime Minister Mark Carney following yesterday's meeting with Canada's premiers in Prince Edward Island. Plus, Scott plays comments from a Canadian winery owner frustrated by the slow pace of removing interprovincial trade barriers, and Elon Musk weighs in on the modern political spectrum, arguing that many views now labelled "far right" were considered mainstream only a few years ago. As always, Scott adds context, asks questions, and lets you hear the audio for yourself before making up your own mind.

Scott opens today's episode by revisiting the Gordie Howe Bridge agreement, arguing that it is now clear Prime Minister Mark Carney misled Canadians about the details of the deal. Scott explains why transparency matters and questions why the full agreement wasn't released sooner. He also weighs in on the growing number of provinces agreeing to allow direct-to-consumer alcohol sales, but argues the changes don't go nearly far enough to create meaningful competition or lower prices for Canadians.
Later, hear from Prime Minister Mark Carney as he addresses Canada's premiers at the Council of the Federation meeting in Prince Edward Island. You'll also hear the latest remarks from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, British Columbia Premier David Eby, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, MP Shuv Majumdar, and more.

Today's episode of Scott Fox After 9 brings you the latest from the Council of the Federation as Canada's premiers respond to President Donald Trump's new threat to impose 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods. Hear the key moments from Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Trump, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, B.C. Premier David Eby, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, and others, as negotiations over Canada-U.S. trade enter another critical phase. The premiers appear to be divided over how Canada should respond.
Scott also offers his analysis of the political rhetoric coming out of the premiers' meeting. While many leaders are taking increasingly aggressive public positions, Scott argues that inflammatory comments may score political points at home but do little to advance negotiations with the United States.
