    MORE LEAVE POILIEVRE FOR CARNEY? RUSSIA IN ALBERTA SEPARATION? CANADA UP AID TO UKRAINE?

    2026-02-23 | 49 mins.
    With Premier Danielle Smith's dangerous anti-immigrant MAGA agenda revealed in Alberta, the situation is becoming increasingly precarious. As the threat of US- and Russia-backed separatism looms larger in the province, whispers on Parliament Hill suggest that more Conservative MPs are considering leaving Pierre Poilievre for PM Mark Carney, whose unifying presence and steady leadership could guide us through these challenging times.

    The ongoing invasion by Putin in Ukraine is entering its fourth year, and it’s crucial for NATO, along with Canada, to escalate its support for the Ukrainian people. They need our help more than ever to confront the aggression that jeopardizes not just their sovereignty, but the stability of all of Europe and the very foundations of Canadian democracy.

    Former Conservative Cabinet Member and Ambassador Chris Alexander compellingly argues for a stronger Canadian role in bolstering NATO's efforts in Ukraine. He connects the dots between the conflict abroad and the pressing issues we face domestically in Canada. In an intense dialogue with host Laura Babcock, they tackle critical topics such as foreign interference in our media and the insidious influences of the Epstein Class, elucidating how all these elements intertwine in the global struggle for democracy over autocracy.

    Now is the time for us to act! We must raise our voices, share this urgent message, and embrace the idea that protecting our sovereignty and standing with those who fight for their freedom are paramount. Together, we can make a difference! TheOshow.ca

    TRUMP'S TARIFF LOSS, SMITH'S REFERENDUM PLOY, POILIEVRE'S CRUMBLING CAUCUS, ANDREW ARREST

    2026-02-20 | 41 mins.
    As the world grapples with the fallout of the Supreme Court ruling that Trump's tariffs are ILLEGAL, we face a critical question: Will Trump respect the rule of law, or will he continue to defy the courts? The stakes are particularly high for Canada, where the economic implications are profound.

    Adding fuel to the fire, Premier Danielle Smith has introduced a 9-point referendum that raises serious concerns about her government’s direction, particularly with its troubling scapegoating of newcomers to Alberta. This move signals not only political chaos within her United Conservative Party but also a misguided attempt to rally support that could endanger our diverse and thriving communities.

    In the Conservative Party, the chaos continues as Pierre Poilievre loses yet another MP to Mark Carney, with whispers of more departures on the horizon. This instability within the party raises alarms about its future and relevance, especially as Jamil Jivani faces criticism for his divisive pro-American rhetoric during this contentious trade war.

    Moreover, the global landscape is shifting dramatically with the arrest of former Prince Andrew in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, a situation that could unveil even more troubling revelations. We cannot ignore the potential threats that loom over international relations, like the possibility of an attack on Iran by the Trump administration.

    Join Clinton Desveaux and host Laura Babcock for an in-depth analysis of this tumultuous news day impacting Canada and global democracy.

    JIVANI NEEDS TO GO, POILIEVRE'S LOST CONTROL, LESSONS FROM UKRAINE, THE SEPARATIST THREAT

    2026-02-19 | 17 mins.
    The recent private meeting between Conservative MP Jamil Jivani and the Trump regime has sparked outrage across Canada, especially in light of the MP’s condescending remarks about our nation's response to the trade war. This isn't just a matter of hurt feelings or political tact; it reflects a much more serious threat to our sovereignty. The parallels between these encounters and the dangerous dealings between the Ukrainian opposition and Putin’s regime are unsettling. Are we truly prepared to navigate these turbulent waters?

    Pierre Poilievre’s weak denunciation of the meeting raises critical questions about his leadership and control over the Conservative Party of Canada. If he is not steering the ship, then who is? This uncertainty comes at a precarious time, as we witness foreign interference in domestic movements, such as the Alberta separatist agenda. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney is making strides in forging a robust trade pact with 40 nations and has aligned Canada with the EU's SAFE defence agreement.

    This moment demands our attention and action. We need to engage with experts who understand these complex dynamics. Join Joni Askola from Finland, a seasoned observer with nine trips to Ukraine since the war began, as he shares invaluable insights and warnings that resonate with our situation in Canada.

    Don't let this important dialogue pass us by. Share your thoughts, subscribe, and comment—we need to make our voices heard! Together, we can safeguard Canada's sovereignty and ensure a stable future.

    2026-02-16 | 43 mins.
    While the world gathered at the Munich Security Conference to grapple with the challenges posed by an untrustworthy America, significant events unfolded that demand our attention. Minneapolis celebrated a hard-fought victory over the ICE Gestapo, showcasing the power of local activism and the importance of standing up against injustice. Meanwhile, Alberta separatists found themselves on shaky ground, miscalculating the implications of their actions.

    In a time of turmoil, Mark Carney led with compassion and strength, responding to the tragic Tumbler Ridge mass shooting with profound kindness, highlighting the best of Canadian values. Across the pond, the UK took decisive action based on revelations from The Epstein Files, raising crucial questions about accountability in America—especially regarding figures like Trump who seem to evade justice.

They will delve into valuable lessons from Brexit, explore the retreat from far-right politics, and shed light on the genuine nature of global security threats. They'll address Trump's racist attacks on the Obamas and celebrate Minneapolis’ triumph over ICE.
