The OShow with Laura Babcock

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.

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.

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.

The recent tragic shooting at a school in Tumbler Ridge, BC, has sent shockwaves across our country. As we grapple with this heart-wrenching event, we’re also faced with alarming threats from Trump regarding the Gordie Howe Bridge and the far-reaching consequences of the Epstein files that are beginning to unfold globally.

Moreover, disturbing reports have surfaced about Alberta separatists exploring independent military support from Trump’s regime.
