Scott Fox After 9

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?

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.
