Today Scott reacts to the suggestion that Manitoba could retaliate against Ontario by banning Ontario wine if Doug Ford follows through on pulling Crown Royal from LCBO shelves.

This episode also addresses the tragic incident in Minnesota, where ICE agents opened fire on a vehicle, and what it says about the current state of U.S. enforcement and public trust.

Plus, Vice President JD Vance explains why the U.S. believes Greenland is strategically necessary, and how Americans stand to benefit from a renewed relationship with Venezuela.

ALSO: The episode also features another teaser for the Silent Date Guy Tell-All Special, dropping Saturday night.

Today's episode of the Scott Fox After 9 Podcast is a lighter one, with less politics and more news. Scott tees up the upcoming "Silent Date Guy — Tell All" special dropping this weekend, talks about Brad Marchand revealing he nearly signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and covers the Blue Jays' introduction of their newest player from Japan. The episode also looks at proposed changes to the U.S. childhood vaccination schedule and features reactions to Prime Minister Mark Carney's comments on America's supposed interest in annexing Greenland.

Scott also connects the timeline surrounding Chrystia Freeland's move to work with the government in Ukraine and discusses insights from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation about how last year's tax cut may be offset by new payroll taxes coming in 2026. All that — plus plenty of additional stories and smart perspective — in today's episode.

This episode recaps Doug Ford's January 5 news conference, where the Premier came out swinging at Crown Royal and Donald Trump.

Scott talks about Ford's bold pledge to yank Crown Royal off LCBO shelves — because nothing says "economic strategy" quite like declaring war on a Canadian company. This episode also gets into the personal cellphone records scandal, where Ford insists there's nothing to see… while also making absolutely sure nobody sees it. And yes — Scott digs further into the ongoing skills and development mess.

Pour yourself something — bonus points if it's Crown Royal. You might find the irony pairs nicely.
