    THE OSHOW: ALBERTA WANTS TO STAY, SCOTT BESSENT STOP TALKING, CARNEY DOMINATES GLOBAL TRADE CONVERSATION

    2026-1-28 | 18 mins.
    After listening to Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary in the Trump administration, suggest that Alberta could be a perfect fit for the USA, it's clear that the risk to our sovereignty has never been greater! The presence of MAGA operatives and their financial and media influence is growing, with the aim of pushing Alberta toward separation from Canada. Alarmingly, Premier Danielle Smith appears to be supporting this agenda, despite the fact that the majority of Albertans want to remain a part of our great nation, especially in light of tragic events like the murder of Alex Pretti by the ICE Gestapo agents in Minneapolis. This horrific act has sparked a global #boycottusa movement, uniting people against such violence and injustice.

    It's time for us to stand firm and take action. Other Western premiers are already speaking out in solidarity with Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is championing a Middle Powers world trade strategy that is gaining traction globally following his powerful speech at Davos. We must rally behind leaders like Carney who are committed to unity and progress!

    THE OSHOW: Carney's Historic Speech, Trump Threatens Canada's Existence, NATO Red Line in Greenland

    2026-1-21 | 30 mins.
    In a shocking and alarming development, President Trump issued a menacing threat against Canada and PM Mark Carney, following the Prime Minister's groundbreaking speech at the WEF that has garnered international acclaim. This is more than just political rhetoric; it’s a direct threat to Canada’s EXISTENCE! Trump's comments on the Danish people and other European nations today were also appalling, and his updated plan to acquire Greenland and aggressive posture towards NATO demonstrate a disregard for global stability.

    THE OSHOW: TRUMP CRAZY LETTER, SOLDIERS IN GREENLAND, CARNEY NEW DEAL, MINNESOTA MADNESS, FORD FAILS

    2026-1-19 | 32 mins.
    After a whirlwind weekend filled with the unpredictable antics of Mad Tariff King Trump—who threatened to punish Europe for NATO soldiers stationed in Greenland, concocted a bizarre letter to Norway regarding the Nobel Prize, and lashed out about security issues on Canada's northern coast—Prime Minister Mark Carney has taken a bold stand. He has successfully brokered another trade deal with Qatar while also standing firm in defence of our NATO allies by sending Canadian troops to Greenland. This moment is crucial; it not only calls Trump's bluff but also resists his imperialist ambitions that threaten global stability.

    However, not everyone seems to prioritize unity during these tense times. Ontario Premier Doug Ford's complaints about Carney only serve to undermine Canadian solidarity in the face of a trade war. We must recognize that unity is our strength, especially when confronting external pressures.

    Join writer and community builder Eric Lombardi as he speaks with host Laura Babcock to unpack the latest global events, including the disturbing fascist actions by ICE in Minneapolis. Together, they will explore practical solutions and actions we can take to fortify Canada during this challenging period.

    It’s more important than ever for each of us to engage in this conversation. Please subscribe, comment, and share to help foster a vibrant pro-democracy dialogue. Your voice matters, and together we can build a stronger, more resilient Canada. Let’s stand up for our values and work towards a brighter future!
