    SCANDAL PANEL: CARNEY CRUSHES, POILIEVRE SELLS OUT, HOESKTRA GO HOME, FORD CORRUPT SHUFFLE

    2026-09-11 | 49 mins.
    This past week has been extraordinary for Canada. With Rolling Stone hailing Prime Minister Mark Carney as the Leader of the Free World and the historic state visit from Ukraine's President Zelensky, our nation is making headlines for all the right reasons. Yet, amid this remarkable achievement, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre chose to undermine our efforts by travelling to the US and casting doubt on Team Canada during a television appearance. This move not only disrespects our government but also jeopardizes our global standing.

    Meanwhile, Ontario Premier Doug Ford's cabinet shuffle raises serious questions about transparency and integrity, seemingly rewarding those embroiled in corruption. This is not merely politics; it's a call to action for all of us who care about the integrity of our democracy.

    Join Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and Laura Babcock as they tackle these pressing issues and the 25th anniversary of 911 with a dynamic blend of seriousness, humour and rage. Their raucous take on the week's events is more than just entertainment; it’s a vital reminder of the importance of holding our leaders accountable.

    2026-09-09 | 39 mins.
    As the White House issues more Executive Orders to punish Canada, it's time we recognize the gravity of the situation facing our nation. This isn't just about policy; it's part of a larger economic war designed to create divisions and undermine our sovereignty. The Alberta Separation and Convoy movements, along with the MAGA movement, are deeply connected to the global turmoil ignited by Russia's aggressive actions in Ukraine.

    This is a pivotal moment for democracy in Canada and beyond. Join host Laura Babcock in a compelling discussion with Michael Mackay, Ph.D., a seasoned expert from the London School of Economics. He has played a vital role in Ukraine's democratic renaissance and has closely monitored Russia's relentless war of aggression. Together, they'll unravel the nefarious forces threatening our values and stability.

    Now more than ever, we must unite to protect our democracy. Dr. Mackay will offer invaluable insights and actionable steps for Prime Minister Mark Carney and all Canadians to take in order to combat these challenges.

    40 MILLION CANADIANS ARE ON THE ICE, CANADA TARIFFS USA, MAPLE MAGA IS FAILING IN CANADA

    2026-09-08 | 26 mins.
    After an intense weekend marked by outrageous verbal and visual attacks on Canada from the Trump regime, coupled with alarming threats of annexation over the western hemisphere, we must stand together. The latest round of Canadian tariffs on U.S. goods has officially taken effect, and Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a powerful address to the nation, reminding us that 40 million Canadians are not just spectators but active players on the ice, united in the fight for our sovereignty.

    As we witness Maple MAGA Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and his provincial counterparts in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario face the consequences of their misguided, Trump-like tactics, it becomes clear that we need to stand firm and protect our democratic values.

    Join us for an eye-opening discussion with Aileen Machell, a key figure who worked closely with Premier Eby in British Columbia, as she joins host Laura Babcock to delve deep into the current state of politics and media across Canada. This isn't just a moment; it's a movement to preserve our democracy!

    POWERCAST: TRUMP ESCALATES THREATS TO CANADA, CANADIANS FIGHT BACK, CARNEY PROMOTES UNITY

    2026-09-07 | 25 mins.
    On this Labour Day, we find ourselves at a critical crossroads. President Trump is intensifying his hostile rhetoric towards Canada, making absurd threats to ban Bombardier and flooding social media with ridiculous memes depicting a faux battle with PM Mark Carney. While Carney issues a statement about unity, it's clear the threat against Canada is growing.

    At the same time, we witness troubling developments abroad, with far-right factions gaining traction in Germany, and the spectre of an Alberta separatist referendum looms large. These are not just isolated incidents—they signify a broader erosion of democracy that we cannot ignore.

    Join the conversation with Charlie Angus, the Leader of the Canadian Resistance and Host of Meidas Canada, as he sits down with OShow Host Laura Babcock. Together they call out the Maple MAGA who enable Trump. This fast-paced discussion is more than just an examination of our current political landscape; it’s a rallying cry for all Canadians to take an active role in protecting our democracy.

    We must stand united in this fight—it’s not just about defending our values; it’s about safeguarding the future of our country. Don’t sit on the sidelines! Subscribe, share, and comment to amplify our voices. Together, we can make a difference!
