    THE OSHOW SCANDAL PANEL: Poilievre Pilloried, Scheer BS on DC Meet, Ford Fails, Epstein Iran War

    2026-03-13 | 35 mins.
    In the midst of escalating global tensions, particularly with the disastrous Epstein War in Iran initiated by Trump and Netanyahu, Canadians cannot afford to ignore the troubling behaviours of our political leaders at home. Recently, Canada’s Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has faced significant ridicule in Politico, raising serious concerns about his leadership. Furthermore, revelations regarding a secret meeting involving his team, including Andrew Scheer, in Washington, DC, have sparked alarm regarding our national sovereignty. When pressed for details, Scheer's inability to recall who he met with is not just dismissive; it’s alarming.

    This situation demands transparency from our leaders. The Conservative ties to the Trump regime, especially regarding discussions on separation and funding, cannot be taken lightly. As discussed on Keith Leslie’s and Mark Cripps’ panel with host Laura Babcock, these are not merely political missteps but threats to our very identity as a nation.

    Moreover, we must hold Ontario Premier Doug Ford accountable for his Trump-style power grabs, and his failure to keep promises on key issues such as housing and healthcare, his controversial plans for Toronto Airport, and the OSAP program for students and one of his appointments in Niagara had to resign for having a signed copy of Hitler's manifesto! His actions are undermining the trust that Canadians place in their government, and calls for protests are happening.

    Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney is impressing Canadians and the world with his leadership and investments in protecting the North.

    There’s so much at stake right now. We need to engage with these critical discussions and demand answers from our leaders. Let’s not remain passive while our sovereignty is put at risk by hidden agendas. It’s time to make our voices heard! Comment, share, and subscribe to stay informed.

    ARE WE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF WW3? HOW CAN COUNTRIES STOP TRUMP, PUTIN AND NETANYAHU?

    2026-03-09 | 22 mins.
    n light of the alarming reports linking Trump's administration to the tragic deaths of schoolgirls in Iran, alongside Netanyahu's regime allegedly creating acid rain over Tehran and deploying chemical weapons in Lebanon, it's imperative that we confront the escalating crisis head-on. Meanwhile, as Putin intensifies his attacks on Ukraine, the drastic rise in oil prices poses a significant threat to global stability.

    Prime Minister Mark Carney's urgent call to Trump to discuss the economic ramifications underscores the gravity of our situation. This is not just a regional issue; the potential for conflict in the Middle East to spiral out of control and engulf the entire world is a pressing reality we cannot ignore.

    TRUMP WAGES WAR, CARNEY VISITS JAPAN, SMITH SWITCHES SIDES, POILIEVRE'S PATHETIC PLAN

    2026-03-06 | 22 mins.
    As the illegal war initiated by Trump and Netanyahu against Iran intensifies, it is spreading to multiple countries and poses a significant threat to global stability. Amidst this turmoil, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is proactively strengthening our alliances in Japan, demonstrating true leadership in these challenging times. Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre’s antics in the UK are a stark reminder of the contrasts in our political landscape.

    In Alberta, recent polls reveal that the majority of Albertans are firmly against separation. It's interesting to see Premier Danielle Smith suddenly claiming to have been pro-Canada all along. Is this a genuine shift, or simply a response to the political climate?

    Join Douglas Connors from the True North Eager Beaver and host Laura Babcock as they tackle these pressing issues with insight and humour. Let’s shine a light on the week's news and remind ourselves of the importance of unity and democracy.
