The OShow with Laura Babcock

In light of ongoing threats from the Trump administration towards Canada, including issues surrounding the Gordie Howe Bridge and CUSMA, it’s time for Canadians to stand united and assert our strength. Prime Minister Mark Carney took a bold step by delivering a powerful response to Trump, highlighting that Canada is outperforming the USA on key metrics. This is our moment to showcase our resilience and commitment to a progressive future.

Meanwhile, we must not ignore the alarming actions of our own politicians. Pierre Poilievre's refusal to attend a Pride parade sends a troubling message about inclusivity, while Premier Danielle Smith misleads Albertans with the looming Wexit referendum designed to sow division. And let’s not forget Premier Doug Ford, who is clearly feeling the pressure as he attempts to hide his unpopularity while Ontarians prepare for the June 27 #FightFord protests.

It's time to rally against these troubling trends and push for a Canadian conservatism that is inclusive and forward-thinking, free from the divisive rhetoric of the MAGA movement. Join former Alberta economist David Gray and host Laura Babcock as they discuss these critical issues, including the implications of BC developer subsidies and the future of 24 Sussex.

As Canada Day and the USA 250 celebration approach, it's crucial to engage in conversations that matter.

This isn't just political chatter—it’s a battle for the values we hold dear.

Let’s take a moment to consider why Prime Minister Mark Carney is gaining traction and why Doug Ford's popularity is plummeting. These shifts reflect not only political dynamics but our collective aspirations for a fair and inclusive democracy.

In these critical times, we cannot afford to ignore the alarming developments happening around us. With Trump’s three stooges—Vance, Lutnick, and Kushner—fumbling the Iran deal and Netanyahu spiralling out of control in Lebanon, the stakes for global democracy have never been higher. We must rise to the occasion!

Hegseth is undermining the very foundations of NATO, and Kristi Noem, the notorious ICE Queen, is aligning herself with a Canadian company—this is a betrayal we cannot let slide! We stand in solidarity with the First Nations Treaty Chiefs who are calling for a treason investigation into Danielle Smith and the UCP. And let’s not forget the hilarity of Doug Ford getting booed at his own festival—this is a clear signal that the public is losing patience!

These pressing issues deserve our attention, and voices like Charlie Angus of Meidas Canada and Laura Babcock offer invaluable insights that should be part of our discussions. Together, we have the power to shape the conversation and drive change.

Democracy is not just a concept; it’s an action that requires our active participation. It’s time to take a stand together!

This past week has been nothing short of wild and revealing! The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs is calling for a treason investigation into Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and her UPC Party, while she has the audacity to urge them to "check themselves." Meanwhile, Premier Doug Ford is panicking over his alarmingly low poll numbers, and former President Donald Trump has seemingly surrendered to Iran, leading to catastrophic losses.

In the midst of this chaos, the Scandal Panel—comprising Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and host Laura Babcock—delivers sharp, unfiltered criticism of these failing authoritarian leaders. They don't shy away from highlighting Ukraine's remarkable resilience against Putin and commend Mark Carney's impressive performance at the G7.

This is more than just a discussion; it’s a vital conversation about protecting our democracy and holding our leaders accountable! We must stay informed and engaged. Don’t miss out on this important and entertaining dialogue! Share, comment, and let your voice be heard—we are all in this together! Let’s rally for change and demand better leadership!
