As we stand on the brink of a potential World War III, the recent moves by world leaders shine a stark light on the dire situation we face. Leaders like Zelensky and PM Mark Carney emerge as pivotal figures who embody hope and solutions, while figures such as Trump and Netanyahu are increasingly viewed as obstacles to progress. The urgency of the moment is underscored by Secretary Hegseth’s call to all generals to gather —a move that seems more theatrical than strategic—as tensions rise with Putin provocatively challenging NATO.

Even high-profile personalities like Jimmy Kimmel and James Comey are feeling the heat of the rising tide of fascism. The climate is more charged than ever, and we must not remain passive.

Meanwhile, Premiers Danielle Smith of Alberta and Doug Ford of Ontario are protesting Mark Carney's court challenge on the Notwithstanding Clause.

In this era of chaos, the Scandal Panel, featuring voices like Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and Host Laura Babcock, has risen to defend our fundamental rights, passionately advocating for freedom of speech and democracy in the face of a global shift towards autocracy.

Now is the time for us to unite and take action. We cannot afford to be silent. Join this pro-democracy community by commenting, subscribing, liking, and sharing.

With fascism alarmingly gaining ground in America, NATO is rallying its forces along Europe's Eastern flank to counter Putin's aggression in Ukraine, while Canada navigates the turbulent waters of Trump’s chaotic trade war with help from Mexico, all while Alberta's rumblings of separation add to the tension. In this critical moment, hearing a voice from the western part of Canada is more important than ever.

Enter Bonnie Critchley, an independent conservative and military veteran, who is unafraid to speak the truth about the political landscape. She boldly calls out Pierre Poilievre's blatant hypocrisy regarding spending and challenges his questionable security clearance and connections to Trump’s MAGA regime. It’s time to hold our leaders accountable and demand transparency.

Critchley also scrutinizes Prime Minister Mark Carney's nuclear deal, inviting us to assess his leadership thus far critically. With a keen sense of humour, Bonnie analyzes Premier Danielle Smith's inconsistent stance on Alberta's separation. This kind of flip-flopping can have profound implications for our country.

Most chillingly, Bonnie draws a parallel between Canada's current situation and that of Poland in 1938, urging us to recognize the urgency of our political circumstances. It’s a wake-up call for all of us to take action and engage in meaningful dialogue about our future. If we don't stand up, we risk repeating history. Now is the time for Canadians to unite and ensure our values and democratic principles are upheld. Let’s work together to shape the future we want for our country!

In the wake of the shocking political assassination of Charlie Kirk, our Scandal Panel—Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and host Laura Babcock—strongly condemns any form of political violence. Canadians must unify against hate and learn from the mistakes of our neighbours to the south.

The stakes are higher than ever as the panel dives into the potential onset of World War III and Canada's crucial role in the Coalition of the Willing and NATO in defending Ukraine, Poland, and ultimately, the principles of freedom and democracy that we hold dear. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s bold actions to align even Conservative Premiers, including Danielle Smith, illustrate a concerted effort to foster unity in these challenging times.

As we discuss the future of Alberta's separation and welcome Bonnie Critchley as next week's guest, the importance of collaboration and coherent strategy for Canada’s strength cannot be overstated. We must also address the concerning rhetoric of Pierre Poilievre, which echoes a troubling MAGA-style discourse that only undermines Canada's standing during this economic turmoil. It’s time to rise above divisive narratives that threaten our sovereignty and democratic integrity.

This week, we've watched the brave and resilient Epstein Survivors, who stand boldly against Trump and the entrenched power elite, and witnessed the formidable Margaret Atwood eloquently challenge Danielle Smith over her regressive book-banning policies. On today's episode, host Laura Babcock and guest Douglas Connors delve into the urgent need for all Canadians to unite and vigorously counter the torrent of new Trump falsehoods about our nation, as well as the MAGA-style power grab by Premier Ford with school trustees in Ontario, as he neglects to protect Ontario jobs from Trump's damaging tariffs.

They also predict Poilievre's negative and irritating return to Parliament and raise critical questions about Prime Minister Carney's decision to welcome the architect of MAGA Project 2025 to his Cabinet meeting and ponder whether his budget will strike a balance between the austerity needed on a war footing and the meaningful support for Canada's most vulnerable citizens.

As we witness the alarming rise of authoritarianism in the United States, we cannot afford to remain complacent or in denial. With Trump threatening Canada and Greenland and Putin and Netanyahu ramping up their wars in Ukraine and Gaza, the stakes have never been higher.

MAGA is in Canada, pushing its dangerous rhetoric and policies. Poilievre's degrading comments about our nation, Smith’s attempts to silence voices through book bans, and Ford’s disturbing power grab over elected school trustees are clear indicators that we are on a slippery slope toward erosion of our democratic principles.

We must mobilize. We owe it to ourselves and our children to recognize the signs and to call out the Christofascist rhetoric that threatens our democracy. This is not just about politics; it’s about safeguarding the freedoms we cherish and ensuring a future where prosperity, diversity and inclusion triumph over division and hate.

As the world watches and waits regarding Putin's aggressive actions in Ukraine, it's clear that Canada must be proactive in safeguarding its interests and values.

Canadian Senator Charles Adler and foreign policy writer Spencer Fernando bring vital perspectives on these matters, shedding light on the future of our nations.

Fresh off her courageous campaign to hold Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre accountable, Bonnie Critchley stands firm, challenging him to truly represent the voices of the people in Battle-River Crowfoot. She boldly predicts that he won't survive his Leadership Review because Canadians are fed up with his negativity and populism.

Bonnie doesn’t shy away from criticizing the Conservative Party’s disinformation tactics against her, calling into question their integrity and commitment to the truth. She urges Canadians everywhere to follow her lead in standing up to entrenched political power structures and to create a powerful wave of change that cannot be ignored.

In a passionate call to action, Critchley denounces Alberta Premier Danielle Smith as a traitor to Canada, making it clear that she is far from finished in the political arena. With a commitment to return to The OShow as a powerful voice for Alberta politics, she will continue the fight for a strong economy and Canada’s sovereignty against outside influences like the Trump regime.

Get ready to dive into a heated discussion as the Boys of Summer return to tackle the pressing issues in Canadian politics! This week, The Scandal Panellists—Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and host Laura Babcock—are furious at the reckless behaviour of individuals exploiting the wildfire crisis for self-promotion and the dangerous implications of MAGA culture wars.

With the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska and Ukraine and Canada's sovereignty hanging in the balance, we can't afford to sit idly by. Governor Newsom is fighting tirelessly for U.S. democracy, and the stakes couldn't be higher. The fierce battle in Battle River Crowfoot, where Bonnie Critchley faces off against Pierre Poilievre, is just one more reason to engage and advocate for our shared Canadian values.

Let’s not forget Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who is talking tough against his hero, Trump, while handing a hospital contract to an American company! It's time for us all to wake up, smarten up, and come together to protect the fabric of our democracy from threats foreign and domestic.

We need your voice—comment, share, and subscribe to help us build a powerful pro-democracy community! Let’s unite, stand strong, and ensure our collective voice is heard! Elbows up!
