Scott Fox After 9

On today's episode, Scott breaks down the must-hear moments from The Diary of a CEO podcast featuring Pierre Poilievre. If you don't have time for the full interview, this is your fast, curated highlight reel. Scott cuts through the noise, focusing on Poilievre's real story, his middle-class upbringing, his perspective, and how it contrasts with the narrative often pushed by mainstream media. It's a sharper, more grounded look at one of Canada's most talked-about political figures.
Also in this episode: powerful, inspiring messages from the Artemis II crew as they prepare to fly past the moon, plus a reality check on two headlines making waves this weekend. Scott challenges claims that Canadians are eager to join the EU and dismisses reports of Conservative MPs crossing the floor. He breaks down why these narratives are gaining traction, and what's really behind them.

Ana Almeida joins the pod and opens up about her struggles with online dating, sharing how difficult it's become to find something real in a world of swipes, ghosting, and mixed intentions. It's honest, relatable, and a conversation many people are having behind the scenes. Scott also tackles a personal question about what radio DJs actually earn, breaking down how pay can vary depending on role, market, and time slot.
Plus, a wide range of listener questions spark strong opinions and insight. From gas prices and whether governments should adjust taxes as costs rise, to the growing debate around EV drivers and road taxes, nothing is off-limits. There's also discussion on Canada's stance toward countries like China and India, questions around forced labour, speculation surrounding the White House ballroom buzz, and frustration in the housing market as builders may be pocketing HST savings. Add in thoughts on podcast algorithms pushing unwanted content and whether now is the right time to buy a home, and you've got a fast-paced, unfiltered episode driven entirely by your DMs.

Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen is set to make history as he departs on the Artemis II mission, becoming the first Canadian to travel to the far side of the moon. Hear from Hansen as he reflects on the significance of this moment, along with insight from the Canadian Space Agency and the Canadian Armed Forces on what this mission means for Canada and the future of space exploration.
Also on the podcast, a rare political showdown as Pierre Poilievre and Prime Minister Mark Carney hold dueling news conferences. Scott keeps the pace moving by alternating questions and answers from both events, giving you a direct comparison of leadership styles and policy priorities. Carney outlines his conservation agenda, while Poilievre vows to cancel the proposed ALTO high-speed rail if elected.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is under pressure after refusing to clearly answer questions about forced labour in China, a controversy sparked by a Liberal MP that continues to grow. With no firm position from the PM, critics are asking what this means for Canada's stance on human rights and international trade.
Also on today's episode, Scott breaks down the highly anticipated Artemis II launch, set to mark a major milestone in space exploration. Back on the ground, Alberta separatists reach the threshold for a potential independence referendum, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation calls out federal pay raises, alcohol taxes are set to rise, and Dominic LeBlanc provides a concerning update on Canada–U.S. trade talks.

Canada's political landscape just shifted. Meet Avi Lewis, the newly elected leader of the federal NDP, winning the job with over 56% of the vote. Who is he, what does he stand for, and can he rebuild a party coming off one of its worst electoral performances in decades? Avi Lewis is pitching bold ideas like a Green New Deal, public grocery options, expanded housing, and major climate action, but critics say his approach may be too far left to win nationally.
Plus, Scott breaks down the electric finish between Duke Blue Devils and UConn Huskies in March Madness, reacts to new DUI charges involving Tiger Woods, and dives into a bizarre mix of headlines—from Donald Trump discussing a massive underground military complex tied to his new ballroom, to JD Vance suggesting in an interview with Benny Johnson that "aliens" may actually be demons.
Is this a turning point for the Canadian left—or the beginning of the end?
