  • THE OSHOW: Is Poilievre Done? Will Epstein Bombshell End MAGA? Is Carney Strategy Building Canada?
    Nov 15 2025

    With the Trump administration issuing alarming threats about eradicating "narco-terrorism" in our Hemisphere after accusing Canada of having drug cartels and sending fentanyl to the USA, and ramping up military action in Venezuela, not to mention the shocking revelations from the Epstein emails, we are witnessing a tumultuous week in politics that demands our attention.


    This special Double Header episode with Douglas Connors breaks down the tantalizing drama surrounding Pierre Poilievre's faltering leadership and MP defections. As poll numbers reveal a shifting political landscape in Canada, we must ask: Is the Epstein Files bombshell the beginning of the end for the MAGA movement and its waning appeal in Alberta, led by MAGA-friendly Danielle Smith and Poilievre's maple MAGA Conservative Party?


    Additionally, we engage with Guy Felicella, a passionate global advocate for Housing First and harm reduction, a resident of BC. He lays bare the reality that Poilievre’s rhetoric and policies fall short of being fiscally responsible, particularly when contrasted with the proven Housing First model. Guy shares his deeply personal story and raises a pressing question: Will Prime Minister Mark Carney's housing strategy be sufficient to confront the crisis that is forcing hundreds of thousands of Canadians to suffer on our streets this winter?


    This episode is not just insightful; it is essential listening for anyone who cares about the future of our communities and the direction of our country. Don't miss it! Subscribe, Share, Comment and help us grow our pro-democracy community!

    In a week filled with intense political upheaval, the landscape has never been more charged.

Not to mention, Zohan Mamdani has taken NYC by storm, and the implications are profound. Is the angry populist moment finally ending?

  • THE OSHOW: Carney in Asia, Trump Meltdown, Smith Overeach, Ford Scandal, Poilievre Panders, GO JAYS!
    Nov 1 2025

    Get ready for a thrilling Halloween Week OShow that you won't want to miss! This week, we delve into the heart of darkness in Canadian politics, discussing the critical issues shaping our nation today, and have some laughs along the way with Douglas Conners and host Laura Babcock.


    Consider Carney's recent meeting with the President of China; it’s a pivotal moment that could redefine Canada's international relationships! Then there's Trump's alarming tariff threat over a Reagan commercial funded by Ontario tax dollars—this is more than just political theatre; it impacts all Canadians directly. Add to that the insulting behaviour of the US Ambassador to Canada, and relations have never been more fraught.


    We can't overlook Ford's growing Skills Development Fund kickback scandal, which raises questions about trust in his leadership. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's use of the notwithstanding clause to pressure teachers back to work raises critical concerns about education and workers' rights. And let's not forget the massive ongoing petition to prevent Separation, a move that could significantly shift the landscape of Canadian unity.


    As if that weren't enough, Pierre Poilievre is continually facing unfavourable headlines that further complicate the future of the Canadian Conservative Party. This week’s OShow promises to be packed with insights and analysis that will equip you to engage in these vital conversations. Don’t let the critical happenings slip by—join us and stay informed!
