In the face of escalating fascist ICE raids targeting both legal and illegal immigrants in America, the Squatter of Stornaway Poilievre's MAGA party stoking division, alarming threats to LGBTQ2 and the racist remarks from Premier Ford against First Nations, we stand at a critical juncture in Canadian history. With the ominous shadow of Ford's Trump-like power grab Bill 5 taking over our rights and environment, and a corporate media landscape increasingly dominated by MAGA-style propaganda, and hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Canadians living on the streets, it is clear that we can no longer afford to be passive.

Canada Day is approaching, and Prime Minister Mark Carney is unveiling ambitious patriotic programs that inspire confidence, as well as some troubling legislation that could undermine our democratic process. This moment demands our attention—and our action.

As Prime Minister Mark Carney gathers world leaders at the G7 amidst escalating global tensions, we stand at a critical juncture. A new conflict in the Middle East, Russia intensifies its aggression in Ukraine, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens. Meanwhile, former President Trump deploys military forces in U.S. cities, America readies itself for # NoKings protests, and the Ford government finds itself embroiled in the Greenbelt Scandal, caught red-handed, allegedly coding and potentially destroying documents, prompting calls for the RCMP to report on its years-long investigation, finally.

In this turbulent landscape, our panellists, Keith Leslie and Mark Cripps, leave no stone unturned in their unflinching assessment of the state of our democracy and march toward World War III. This is not just a call to action; it’s an urgent plea for pro-democracy advocates and people of good conscience to rise and defend the values that have allowed us 80 years of relative peace and prosperity.

This week, world politics is nothing short of a gripping drama, and it’s unfolding right before our eyes. A billionaire feud between President Trump and Elon Musk that's not just a shitshow, but has repercussions for Canada. Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre's polling numbers are dropping faster than ever while he remains unelected in the luxurious confines of Stornoway, courtesy of taxpayer money. Can he even win the upcoming by-election?

Premier Danielle Smith is floating the idea of Alberta Separation, all while Prime Minister Mark Carney invites global leaders to Alberta for the G7—an event that could redefine Canada's place on the world stage. Adding to the turmoil, Doug Ford's controversial Big Bad Bill 5 is igniting widespread discontent in Ontario, raising serious environmental concerns and sidelining Indigenous communities, prompting a potential legal battle and nationwide protests.

This is a critical moment in our country, and we can't afford to be mere spectators.
