    TRUMP TACOS, CARNEY LEADS, PUTIN PLAYS, CUBA SUFFERS, IRAN WAR, FINLAND HAPPIEST COUNTRY

    2026-03-23 | 39 mins.
    As President Trump revises his stance on Iran while simultaneously issuing threats against Cuba, we find ourselves at a crucial crossroads in global politics. Meanwhile, Putin is taking advantage of the chaos, profiting from the ongoing conflict in his war on Ukraine and sending oil tankers to Cuba. In this tumultuous landscape, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stands as a beacon of leadership, guiding the world economy through a crisis eerily reminiscent of the onset of WW3.

    Join Joni Askola @askolageopolitics from Finland and Host Laura Babcock for a compelling and insightful discussion that delves into the pressing threats we face, from Iran and South Korea to Cuba and beyond—even right here in Canada. This conversation is vital for anyone who cares about the future of democracy worldwide.

    WORLD FEARS NUCLEAR WAR, FORD PANICS AS POLLS DROP, FORD COPIES TRUMP ON FOI COVER-UP

    2026-03-20 | 44 mins.
    As the world stands on edge, witnessing the escalating conflict between Trump and Netanyahu in the Middle East and Putin's intensifying attacks on Ukraine, we must also pay attention to the troubling developments in our own backyard. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is mimicking Trump's authoritarian style by attempting to retroactively restrict access to information. Instead of addressing urgent issues like housing, healthcare, homelessness, and education, he floods the narrative with culture war distractions, all while scandals like the Greenbelt and Skills Development Fund loom over his administration.

    This is a critical moment for Ontario and democracy itself. Join former Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and host Laura Babcock for a candid and inspiring conversation about the challenges we face, both locally and globally.

    WORLD REJECTS TRUMP, WAR RAGES, CUBA CRISIS, CARNEY BUILDS CANADA, POILIEVRE LOSES WEST

    2026-03-18 | 40 mins.
    On this difficult day, when Trump and Netanyahu's illegal and foolish war in the Middle East is raging, oil fields are burning, and a global economic crisis is building, Trump is rejected by NATO and now threatens to take Cuba, putting Canadians on high alert. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney announces a new Nordic Partnership and an investment in space satellites to protect Canada. His leadership has led to high popularity in Western Canada, prompting our panel, Clinton Desveaux and Host Laura Babcock, to ask whether Pierre Poilievre and his MAGA alliance have ruined the Canadian Conservative Party.

    THE OSHOW: CARNEY PROTECTS CANADA, TRUMP THREATENS NATO, SEPARATISTS HURT ALBERTA, STOP MAGA MEDIA

    2026-03-16 | 33 mins.
    As we enter the third week of the illegal war on Iran, the threats to Canada’s sovereignty and global democracy have reached unprecedented levels. With Trump’s aggressive rhetoric towards NATO countries, we must recognize the urgency of our situation. On this critical one-year anniversary of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s leadership, he has rallied the Middle Powers and Nordic partners, pledging a remarkable $35 billion to bolster our defence in the North. This is essential as Putin continues to profit from oil sales and intensifies his assaults on Ukraine.

    In Alberta, we confront a troubling rise in authoritarianism and separatist sentiments, as groups gather in alliance with the Trump regime. Meanwhile, American-owned MAGA-friendly media irresponsibly suggest that First Nation treaties are mere obstacles to Alberta’s separation. We cannot stand idly by as these dangerous narratives gain traction.

    Join Hon. Thomas Lukaszuk, former Alberta Deputy Premier and founder of the #ForeverCanadian movement, as he sits down with Laura Babcock for a riveting discussion. They’ll delve into the wars we face, analyze PM Carney’s leadership, and explore our collective duty to combat disinformation while safeguarding Canadian unity.

    This is not just a discussion; it is a call to action. We must come together to protect our democracy! Your voice matters—comment, share, and subscribe. Together, we can fortify our values and ensure a brighter future for Canada. Don't miss this chance to be part of a pivotal conversation!

    THE OSHOW SCANDAL PANEL: Poilievre Pilloried, Scheer BS on DC Meet, Ford Fails, Epstein Iran War

    2026-03-13 | 35 mins.
    In the midst of escalating global tensions, particularly with the disastrous Epstein War in Iran initiated by Trump and Netanyahu, Canadians cannot afford to ignore the troubling behaviours of our political leaders at home. Recently, Canada’s Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has faced significant ridicule in Politico, raising serious concerns about his leadership. Furthermore, revelations regarding a secret meeting involving his team, including Andrew Scheer, in Washington, DC, have sparked alarm regarding our national sovereignty. When pressed for details, Scheer's inability to recall who he met with is not just dismissive; it’s alarming.

    This situation demands transparency from our leaders. The Conservative ties to the Trump regime, especially regarding discussions on separation and funding, cannot be taken lightly. As discussed on Keith Leslie’s and Mark Cripps’ panel with host Laura Babcock, these are not merely political missteps but threats to our very identity as a nation.

    Moreover, we must hold Ontario Premier Doug Ford accountable for his Trump-style power grabs, and his failure to keep promises on key issues such as housing and healthcare, his controversial plans for Toronto Airport, and the OSAP program for students and one of his appointments in Niagara had to resign for having a signed copy of Hitler's manifesto! His actions are undermining the trust that Canadians place in their government, and calls for protests are happening.

    Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney is impressing Canadians and the world with his leadership and investments in protecting the North.

    There’s so much at stake right now. We need to engage with these critical discussions and demand answers from our leaders. Let’s not remain passive while our sovereignty is put at risk by hidden agendas. It’s time to make our voices heard! Comment, share, and subscribe to stay informed.
