When President Trump recently advised Prime Minister Mark Carney to "never say never" about potentially annexing Canada, it marked a concerning doubling down on rhetoric that threatens our sovereignty. The ongoing trade war and the damage inflicted on our auto sector and economy are just the opening salvos in a larger manifest destiny spheres of influence strategy by the Trump MAGA regime.
That's where our guest, Charlie Angus, comes in. As a former MP and now the Leader of the Canadian Resistance to MAGA, he offers an unfiltered critique of American influence, the role of Canadian media, and the threat of Alberta's separation.
Drawing on lessons from Canadian history and insights from his current cross-country Resistance Tour, Angus provides a sharp analysis and actionable strategies. He and host Laura Babcock delve into how we can recognize and counter MAGA propaganda by reaffirming our Canadian values.

This Victoria Day Long Weekend, while we celebrate with friends and family, is crucial for us to reflect on the tremendous changes happening in our political landscape. With the fallout from Trump’s tariff war shaking the foundations of our economy, we must scrutinize the actions of our leaders more than ever.
Prime Minister Mark Carney's newly formed cabinet faces immense challenges, while Pierre Poilievre seems to cling to his title as if he still holds sway, despite losing his seat to Bruce Fanjoy. Meanwhile, Danielle Smith appears to be playing both sides regarding Alberta’s separation, leaving us to wonder where her true loyalties lie.
Doug Ford's recent Ontario budget raises unsettling questions. Is he using the chaos of the tariff war to funnel more resources to his private sector allies while leaving vulnerable Ontarians on ODSP to fend for themselves?
We must ask ourselves: How much of a threat does the MAGA movement pose to Canada? Their influence can be seen through the actions of conservative Premiers and the Conservative Party’s insistence on keeping Poilievre in Stornoway to retain his image of power, waiting for a costly by-election.
It's time for us to stand up, speak out, and hold our leaders accountable. We cannot let complacency take hold while our democracy is tested. Be vocal, share your thoughts, and build a thriving pro-democracy community together. Your voice matters! What do you think?

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.

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!

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 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!

🇨🇦 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.

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.

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

In this compelling episode, Elizabeth May, Co-Leader of the Green Party of Canada, lays bare her unfiltered views on critical issues affecting our country today. From her sharp criticisms of Trump and his support of Poilievre to the impact of being blackballed by Rosemary Barton on CBC's Power and Politics, May does not shy away from the tough conversations we must have. She tackles the climate emergency, the Alberta separatist movement, the trucker convoy, and the alarming influence of foreign media ownership over our narratives.
May suggests Prime Minister Mark Carney to assemble a US-Canada relations trade war cabinet with leaders from all major political parties. This is a crucial moment in our history, and May’s insights are indispensable as we navigate these challenges.
In a time when disinformation is rampant on social media, May emphasizes the urgent need to use critical thinking. She advocates for establishing a Civil Defense strategy.
Furthermore, host Laura Babcock calls on CBC to be transparent about guest selection protocols. In the most impactful federal election of our lifetime, trust in our public broadcaster has never been more vital. We need clarity on decisions about who gets to engage in these critical discussions.

Canada is at a crossroads. With Trump's shocking treatment of Ukrainian President Zelensky in the Oval Office and escalating tariff threats against Canada, the stakes have never been higher. Poilievre's plummeting poll numbers reflect growing unpopularity, while Canadians are uniting behind Mark Carney as a powerful contender to confront the looming threat of the Elon Trump Regime. Our Scandal Panel discusses the realignment of the world order and how Canada can combat Trump.
Meanwhile, after an expensive, cynical snap election, Ford's victory lacks the significant gains he boldly claims as a "strong historic majority mandate" to take on Trump. Ontario voters gave him the same outcome as last time and the Liberals enough to regain party status. The Scandal Panel talks about how the opposition must better hold him accountable in the future.

According to stunning new polls, if Mark Carney were on the ballot, he could make Pierre Poilievre's long lead irrelevant and give the Liberals a majority in the next Federal election. Are Canadians putting partisanship aside and focusing on who can best save our economy and sovereignty from Trump, Elon and the Canadian MAGA movement?
Meanwhile, Mr. Ford went to Washington and failed to convince the Trump regime of anything. He used the trip as another gimmick for his cynical Feb. 27 election in Ontario, but are people becoming wise to his con and worried about his devotion to Trump? Will his record on healthcare and his Greenbelt scandal drive Ontario to support Bonnie Crombie Liberals?

With Trump's punitive tariffs and threats to our sovereignty, now is the time to get in the fight! MP Charlie Angus and Host Laura Babcock discuss all the things Canadians can do to send a strong message of solidarity to Trump: sign the Pledge for Canada, cancel American trips, buy Canadian goods, ask American friends to call their representatives, work with other countries and call out Poilievre and any so-called leaders or influencers that make Canada look weak in this existential fight against a bully.
Charlie discusses our long and strong history of fighting for democracy.
