THE OSHOW SCANDAL PANEL: Is Poilievre Done? Can Carney Create a Majority to Stop Trump? Will Alberta Seperate?
The results from the most consequential election in Canada's history are in, revealing a political landscape fraught with uncertainty and potential upheaval. Is Pierre Poilievre finished as Leader of the Conservatives after shockingly losing a 20-point lead, particularly after Bruce Fanjoy's stunning victory in Carleton? With tensions rising and his team embroiled in public disputes with Ontario Premier Doug Ford, can he weather the storm, or will he succumb to the pressures from within his party?Moreover, what does this mean for the future of the Liberal Party? Does Carney have the strategic prowess to secure the three seats needed for a majority by forging sound alliances with the NDP or Elizabeth May? Or is he in such a commanding position that he doesn’t even need their support, as the Bloc, NDP, and Green MPS staunchly oppose the Conservatives?Let’s not overlook the ramifications of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's escalating threats to separate from Canada unless Prime Minister Carney meets her demands. Will the implications of this be monumental, shaking the very foundations of our federation? Or is it just a bitter response to Carney's victory? As we look ahead to upcoming elections in cities like Hamilton, we must ask: What will happen now that high-profile candidates are without a political platform? Will they seek open council seats or run in the mayoral races?Join our panel, Mark Cripps, Keith Leslie, and host Laura Babcock as they dive deep into these pressing questions, providing insightful analysis that you won’t want to miss.

OSHOW SCANDAL PANEL: Will SHOCKING Trump News and Poilievre's MAGA Policies Create a Carney Victory?
In the wake of shocking developments—Trump's MAGA regime arresting a sitting judge and Poilievre intensifying his MAGA rhetoric surrounding woke policies and using the notwithstanding clause on crime —Canadians are faced with a critical choice in the upcoming election. Will these alarming events rally more support for Mark Carney, or will Poilievre's recent surge in polls signal a potential Maple MAGA movement rising to power in Canada?We are at a pivotal moment. Premiers Ford and Douglas appear to be distancing themselves from Poilievre, perhaps sensing the looming threat of a Conservative defeat. News stories report he may even lose his seat in Carleton to Bruce Fanjoy. Meanwhile, as Putin escalates attacks in Ukraine, the world watches closely for Canada to take a stand against the tide of fascism. Our Scandal Panel, featuring Mark Cripps and Keith Leslie, joins host Laura Babcock to issue a dire warning: Now is not the time for complacency or division among the left. With Bloc Québécois Leader Blanchet’s comment labelling Canada as an “artificial country” and hints of western separation from Premier Smith and Preston Manning, we face an unprecedented crisis that could jeopardize the future of our democracy.Let’s come together as Canadians who value our democratic principles. This election is crucial—it's our opportunity to make our voices heard and safeguard our shared future. We cannot afford to let divisions between parties weaken our stand.
