  • Is Ford Our Trump? Is Carney on Right Track? How do we Fight Fascist MAGA in Canada? 🇨🇦
    Jun 20 2025

    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.


    Join renowned social justice warrior and former politician, the Rev. Cheri DiNovo, as she speaks with host Laura Babcock in a captivating and eye-opening discussion on how we can successfully combat fascism in 2025. They’ll explore the power of peaceful protests, such as #nokings on July 4, the impact of immediate social media responses, and how we can influence the political landscape with love and determination.


    Don’t miss this powerful and essential conversation—it’s not just about saving our democracy; it's about securing justice for all Canadians. Let’s mobilize, inspire one another, and fight for the future we believe in. Every voice matters. Will you join us?

  • SCANDAL PANEL: Will Carney Wow World in G7? No Kings in America? Is Ford Caught on Greenbelt?
    Jun 14 2025

    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.


    We laugh, we cry, we express our frustration, and we want to hear from you! Share your thoughts, insights, and hopes for the future. Subscribe, like, and spread the word; together, we can cultivate a movement that champions our freedoms and safeguards our democratic ideals. Now is the time to act—for our future, for our democracy!

  • THE OSHOW WITH LAURA BABCOCK: TrumpvElon? Is Poilievre Toast? Will Alberta leave? Can Carney Ace G7? Is Ford a Coward?
    Jun 11 2025

    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. Join the conversation with Douglas Connors from the True North Eager Beaver Podcast, as he delves into these pressing issues with host Laura Babcock in the first edition of the OShow Summer Friday Series—fast-paced, funny, and full of insights!


    Your voice matters! Share your thoughts on these pivotal issues, and subscribe to help us reach our goal of 5,000 subscribers in our pro-democracy community. Let's engage, inform, and advocate for the future we believe in!
