The OShow with Laura Babcock
CANADA IN GLOBAL WAR, RUSSIA'S ROLE IN ALBERTA SEPARATION AND CONVOY, CARNEY'S ECONOMIC MOVES
As the White House issues more Executive Orders to punish Canada, it's time we recognize the gravity of the situation facing our nation. This isn't just about policy; it's part of a larger economic war designed to create divisions and undermine our sovereignty. The Alberta Separation and Convoy movements, along with the MAGA movement, are deeply connected to the global turmoil ignited by Russia's aggressive actions in Ukraine.
This is a pivotal moment for democracy in Canada and beyond. Join host Laura Babcock in a compelling discussion with Michael Mackay, Ph.D., a seasoned expert from the London School of Economics. He has played a vital role in Ukraine's democratic renaissance and has closely monitored Russia's relentless war of aggression. Together, they'll unravel the nefarious forces threatening our values and stability.
Now more than ever, we must unite to protect our democracy. Dr. Mackay will offer invaluable insights and actionable steps for Prime Minister Mark Carney and all Canadians to take in order to combat these challenges. Don’t miss this chance to be part of an urgent conversation that could shape the future of our nation.
