    PM MARK CARNEY PREPARES CANADA FOR USA INVASION, FIGHTING AUTHORITARIAN FORD IN ONTARIO

    2026-09-24 | 26 mins.
    Today's NYT revelation that Prime Minister Mark Carney is preparing for a potential military invasion of Canada has sent shockwaves across our nation. This alarming possibility highlights the vulnerabilities we face, especially with the critical Alberta referendum on the horizon. We cannot afford to ignore these threats to our sovereignty!

    At the same time, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is waging an authoritarian assault on our democracy by appointing unelected Regional Chairs and harming our education system and our healthcare. His dismal management of the autism waitlist is particularly concerning, and we must stand up against these injustices. This weekend, massive protests against Ford — the Fight Ford movement — are gearing up for September 26. These grassroots efforts are vital in ensuring our voices are heard!

    Join our host Laura Babcock as she speaks with St. Catharines mayoral candidate Ann-Marie Zammit (amz4stc@gmail.com) and activist Michau Van Speck (on X @MEEKSVS) for an enlightening discussion on the pressing issues affecting our democracy.

    CARNEY V TRUMP, SMITH AND POILIEVRE'S DANGEROUS POPULISM, STOPPING FASCISM IN CANADA

    2026-09-21 | 20 mins.
    This past weekend, we witnessed an incredible display of leadership as Canadian PM Mark Carney forged historic alliances with France, Norway, and the EU. In stark contrast, we have seen Donald Trump’s contradictory statements regarding the ongoing War in Iran, raising critical concerns about the direction of leadership and diplomacy.

    Closer to home, Pierre Poilievre and Danielle Smith are embracing a troubling brand of Trump-inspired populism, which poses a real risk of sliding into fascism right here in Canada. We cannot afford to be complacent in these challenging times.

    Join Laura Babcock and Dennis Dodo, author of "A Tale of Two Men," for a compelling dialogue on the state of our democracy and the serious threats looming over our nation. Your voice matters—comment, share, and subscribe. Together, we can stand up for the principles that uphold our society and safeguard our future! Let’s take action before it’s too late!

    POWERCAST: CARNEY FLOODS ZONE WITH SUCCESS, GREENLAND DEAL WITH TRUMP, POILIEVRE 'WOUNDED'

    2026-09-19 | 27 mins.
    As Greenland makes a concerning deal with the USA, it’s crucial that Canadians remain vigilant against the encroaching threats from the Fascist Trump Regime, which has its sights set on our beloved country. Under the inspiring leadership of PM Mark Carney, who is securing vital partnerships with the EU and attracting potential investors, we have a guiding light. In contrast, Pierre Poilievre continues to undermine our efforts, accusing Carney of secret deals and even suggesting to Americans that Canada is “confused and wounded.”

    Now, more than ever, we need voices like Charlie Angus, the fearless Leader of the Canadian Resistance, and Laura Babcock, host of OShow, to rally together in these dire times. In their latest #Powercast, they are not just calling for unity; they are demanding action as we face the threats to our democracy from across the border. Canadians, it’s time to stand together and resist!

    Join us in sharing, commenting, and subscribing to the conversation. We are in this fight as one—our democracy, our values, and our future depend on it. Let’s lock arms and show the world that we refuse to back down. WE GOT THIS, Canada! 🇨🇦
