    2026-04-01 | 30 mins.
    As Trump threatens to abandon NATO and the world anxiously awaits his next move in the chaos of the war he instigated with Netanyahu in the Middle East, it's crucial for us to stay informed and united. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stands strong, condemning the invasion of Lebanon while successfully meeting NATO funding targets and surpassing economic forecasts. Meanwhile, leaders from England, France, Italy, Spain, and beyond are bravely denouncing the war and refusing to participate in this reckless venture.

    Now, more than ever, we need to engage in informed discussions about these pressing issues. Join history teacher Lars Roesen from Denmark and host Laura Babcock as they dive deep into NATO's strategic role, the ongoing conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, threats to Greenland, Cuba, and Canada, and how to counter Trump's MAGA movement in Alberta, Ontario, and Poilievre's government, and potential invasions by the USA.

    This episode is not just informative; it’s essential viewing for anyone who cares about the future of democracy. It's time to understand the NATO alliance and the critical state of global affairs we find ourselves in. Comment, share, and subscribe to our channel!

    CARNEY POLLS, AVI AND PIERRE, STOPPING SMITH, FIGHTING FORD PROTESTS, PREPARING FOR WW3

    2026-03-30 | 26 mins.
    As we find ourselves one month into this tumultuous war, the alarming, escalating threats from Trump in the Middle East echo ominously, while leaders like Ford and Smith attempt to govern like Trump in Ontario and Alberta with their cruel policies, scandals and moves toward autocracy. It's time for us, the people, to rise up! Millions across the globe have joined the #NoKings Protest, and 40 communities in Ontario rallied together to #FightFord this weekend!

    Join host Laura Babcock as she dives into the heart of the pro-democracy protest in Hamilton, sharing the powerful sights and sounds of our collective stand for justice. Hear from David Gray in Alberta, who is not just talking the talk but actively planning to end Danielle Smith's government. They also discuss connecting better with Quebec.

    We must also consider the implications of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's surging popularity, while opponents NDP Leader Avi Lewis and Conservative Leader Poilievre have little chance of stopping him, and what this means for our nation’s future. With tensions mounting worldwide, it's crucial that Canada prepare for the possibility of WW3.

    SCANDAL PANEL: WRATH OF ONTARIO, FORD FAILS BUDGET, CARNEY PROTECTS CANADA, TRUMP ALONE IN WAR

    2026-03-27 | 51 mins.
    Get ready for an eye-opening, curse-laden vent session and discussion on the Scandal Panel! Protests are erupting across Ontario, fueled by outrage at Ford's alarming corruption and his disastrous handling of critical issues such as budget management, housing, healthcare, education, OSAP, ODSP, and environmental protection. Ford's attempts to hide his failures, particularly regarding the Greenbelt Scandal and the Skills Development Fund Scandal, by passing a law to retroactively limit Freedom of Information requests, are a blatant attack on transparency and accountability.

    Join Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and host Laura Babcock as they dissect these pressing issues and share their passionate rants about Ontario's ongoing crisis. They will also highlight the contrast in Prime Minister Mark Carney's positive actions, advocating a focus on pressing domestic issues rather than getting entangled in the illegal conflicts involving Trump and Netanyahu in the Middle East.

    This is more than just a discussion—it's a call to action! Comment, share, and subscribe to join the movement. Together, we can defend the integrity of Ontario, Canada, and democracies around the world. We cannot afford to stay silent in these crucial times—let's unite and demand the accountability and leadership we deserve!
