  • THE OSHOW SCANDAL PANEL: Is Poilievre Done? Can Carney Create a Majority to Stop Trump? Will Alberta Seperate?
    Apr 30 2025

    The results from the most consequential election in Canada's history are in, revealing a political landscape fraught with uncertainty and potential upheaval. Is Pierre Poilievre finished as Leader of the Conservatives after shockingly losing a 20-point lead, particularly after Bruce Fanjoy's stunning victory in Carleton? With tensions rising and his team embroiled in public disputes with Ontario Premier Doug Ford, can he weather the storm, or will he succumb to the pressures from within his party?


    Moreover, what does this mean for the future of the Liberal Party? Does Carney have the strategic prowess to secure the three seats needed for a majority by forging sound alliances with the NDP or Elizabeth May? Or is he in such a commanding position that he doesn’t even need their support, as the Bloc, NDP, and Green MPS staunchly oppose the Conservatives?


    Let’s not overlook the ramifications of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's escalating threats to separate from Canada unless Prime Minister Carney meets her demands. Will the implications of this be monumental, shaking the very foundations of our federation? Or is it just a bitter response to Carney's victory?


    As we look ahead to upcoming elections in cities like Hamilton, we must ask: What will happen now that high-profile candidates are without a political platform? Will they seek open council seats or run in the mayoral races?


    Join our panel, Mark Cripps, Keith Leslie, and host Laura Babcock as they dive deep into these pressing questions, providing insightful analysis that you won’t want to miss. Your voice matters in this critical moment for democracy, so share your thoughts with us. Please subscribe to support our independent, pro-democracy OShow community.

  • OSHOW SCANDAL PANEL: Will SHOCKING Trump News and Poilievre's MAGA Policies Create a Carney Victory?
    Apr 26 2025

    In the wake of shocking developments—Trump's MAGA regime arresting a sitting judge and Poilievre intensifying his MAGA rhetoric surrounding woke policies and using the notwithstanding clause on crime —Canadians are faced with a critical choice in the upcoming election. Will these alarming events rally more support for Mark Carney, or will Poilievre's recent surge in polls signal a potential Maple MAGA movement rising to power in Canada?


    We are at a pivotal moment. Premiers Ford and Douglas appear to be distancing themselves from Poilievre, perhaps sensing the looming threat of a Conservative defeat. News stories report he may even lose his seat in Carleton to Bruce Fanjoy. Meanwhile, as Putin escalates attacks in Ukraine, the world watches closely for Canada to take a stand against the tide of fascism.


    Our Scandal Panel, featuring Mark Cripps and Keith Leslie, joins host Laura Babcock to issue a dire warning: Now is not the time for complacency or division among the left. With Bloc Québécois Leader Blanchet’s comment labelling Canada as an “artificial country” and hints of western separation from Premier Smith and Preston Manning, we face an unprecedented crisis that could jeopardize the future of our democracy.


    Let’s come together as Canadians who value our democratic principles. This election is crucial—it's our opportunity to make our voices heard and safeguard our shared future. We cannot afford to let divisions between parties weaken our stand.


    So please, like, comment, share, and subscribe to the pro-democracy OShow community. Talk to your friends and family about the importance of this election. Every vote matters, and together, we can ensure that democracy prevails!

    Apr 22 2025

    In the most consequential election in Canadian history, with our very sovereignty under threat from President Trump's MAGA regime, one individual—a dedicated businessman and community volunteer—is stepping up to challenge Pierre Poilievre, the Leader of the Canadian Conservative Party and a seasoned politician, in his Carleton riding. Can this fresh voice, driven by passion and determination, shatter the 20-year stronghold of Pierre Poilievre?


    Will the citizens of Carleton rise to the occasion and seize this historic opportunity to support Bruce Fanjoy, a locally engaged and positive candidate, over the long-time political attack dog? As Liberal Leader Mark Carney gathers momentum in this final week, will Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast rally together to donate and volunteer with the bruce.fanjoy.liberal.ca campaign?

  • THE OSHOW SCANDAL PANEL: Did Carney Win the Debates? Is Danielle Smith hurting Poilievre in Alberta? Will voters reject Trump's MAGA movement in Canada?
    Apr 18 2025

    The stakes have never been higher in a Canadian election, and we can’t afford to sit on the sidelines. The OShow Scandal Panel is urging you to VOTE NOW in the Advance Polls this Easter long weekend! Join host Laura Babcock, alongside Mark Cripps and Keith Leslie, for a serious and sometimes hilarious discussion about the Leaders' Debates, campaign scandal and the issues Canadians will vote on in this election.


    We must be vigilant against the rise of authoritarianism, as seen in Trump’s regime, which is steering many Canadians away from visiting America and the MAGA movement infiltrating our political landscape in Poilievre's Conservative Party. The endorsements for Poilievre from the most vile members of the American MAGA Regime should give every Canadian serious concerns. Why won't he disavow them? Who is running the Canadian Conservative Party?


    Now more than ever, we need to rally together and vote for the Liberal Party, led by the 'Rockstar Economist' Mark Carney. With Carney at the helm, we can strengthen our economy and safeguard our sovereignty and resources.


    The threats of Western separation by Premier Danielle Smith and others could have serious consequences for Pierre Poilievre and his Conservative Party in Alberta. Additionally, Premier Ford's comments about Poilievre's campaign could hurt their chances in the vote-rich province of Ontario.


    But polls and projections don't win elections! It’s time to show up in record numbers and make our voices heard! Like and subscribe to join the conversation, and let us know your thoughts. Together, we can protect our Canadian democracy. Please VOTE!

  • THE OSHOW: Did Poilievre lie about his crowd size? Are we petrified of him? Is Carney Crush coming?
    Apr 11 2025

    🇨🇦 Don't miss out on the latest revelations about Pierre Poilievre as his campaign for Prime Minister of Canada continues to plummet! Recent reports reveal that he may have exaggerated the crowd size at his Alberta rally with former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Worse, Poilievre was creepy with a female journalist on camera this week about his crowd size and condescendingly called another one a "protestor" when she asked about his lack of high-level security clearance —serious concerns that cannot be overlooked. Add to that the alarming comments from Premier Doug Ford's campaign manager, who candidly expressed worries about how Poilievre is performing, stating that some voters are "petrified of a Poilievre government."


    Join Douglas Conners of the True North Eager Beaver and host Laura Babcock as they delve into these pressing issues with a mix of weekend humor and keen insight. They'll discuss the undeniable threat posed by Trump's MAGA movement in Canada and make a compelling case for Mark Carney's calm and steady leadership during these tumultuous times marked by tariffs and annexation threats.

  • THE OSHOW SCANDAL PANEL: Is PM Mark Carney Leading Global Response to Trump's Tariffs? Can Poilievre Pivot?
    Apr 4 2025

    While Canada's economy faces the repercussions of Trump's chaotic tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney's expertise in economics and relationships with foreign leaders makes him a global leader, and his Liberal Party now stands as a powerful symbol of national unity. The latest polls reflect this resurgence, showing that the Liberals have an impressive 10-point lead over the Conservatives, and Carney has a staggering 20-point advantage as the preferred leader.


    But what about Pierre Poilievre and the MAGA Conservative Party? Can they adjust their strategy to narrow this gap? Despite the current polls, Poilievre's enthusiastic rallies suggest more momentum might be brewing than we realize. If the Liberals continue their upward trajectory, could the threat of separation from Premier Daniel Smith backfire against Poilievre and his party? With NDP support plummeting, is this the first time the Left will unite to fight the Right?


    This election is not just another political event; it’s arguably the most critical moment in Canadian history, with our sovereignty on the line. Host Laura Babcock and panelists Mark Cripps and Keith Leslie provide rapid-fire analysis sprinkled with humour, anger and keen insights you won’t want to miss.

  • THE OSHOW: How to push back on MAGA? Why is Poilievre talking biological clocks? Should CTV reinstate Rachel Gilmore?
    Apr 2 2025

    We find ourselves at a critical juncture in the second week of the Canadian election. With Prime Minister Mark Carney navigating complex Trump tariff negotiations and making much-needed housing announcements, the Poilievre campaign is faltering and making bizarre comments about the biological clocks of Millennial couples. Host Laura Babcock passionately warns of the erosion of reproductive rights in Trump's America and the Maple MAGA movement in Canada.


    Moreover, the troubling allegations surrounding CTV—specifically, that Poilievre's online supporters played a role in canceling journalist Rachel Gilmore from her fact-checking position—highlight a dangerous trend. This is not simply an attack on one individual; it's part of a broader strategy of intimidation and misinformation that seeks to silence dissenting voices.


    Panelists Sarbjit Kaur and Adam Coffey bring invaluable political insight and expertise, offering us the knowledge we need to engage in meaningful discussions and take action to counter the worst of Poilievre's MAGA.


    Now, more than ever, we need to join forces to counteract Maple MAGA's regressive social conservative policies and bullying tactics. Together, we can fight back. #elbowsup
