The OShow with Laura Babcock

While we face growing threats from Trump and his authoritarian regime in Alberta and across Canada, we cannot overlook the peril right here in Ontario. Premier Doug Ford represents a troubling Canadian version of Trump, as he aggressively takes control of our regions and school boards, and even pushes to commandeer the Toronto Island Airport. His retroactive ban on freedom of information requests, dating back to 1988, is a blatant attempt to silence transparency and accountability. Ford’s numerous scandals have only served to enrich his network of friends, the so-called Gravy Class, exemplified by the infamous Gravy Plane scandal. This is not just politics; it’s an assault on democracy and our rights.Join MPP Tyler Watt from Nepean and host Laura Babcock for an urgent and inspiring conversation about how we can take action. It’s time to #FireFord! We need to galvanize civic engagement using both traditional and modern tools to oust the PC Party in the next election.

On the latest OShow POWERCAST, featuring Charlie Angus and Meidas Canada, host Laura Babcock delves into the crucial threats to Canadian sovereignty posed by the increasingly authoritarian Trump regime, alongside Charlie. Consider the implications of the cancellation of an 80-year USA-Canada defence board and mounting allegations linking the US Ambassador to the Alberta separatist cause and the shocking data breach affecting 3 million voters (allegations he denies) As if that weren't enough, Trump has taken a staggering $1.776 billion from taxpayers to fund his private army of January 6th insurrectionists, putting Americans and Canadians in a precarious position. This isn't just political commentary; it's a call to action. Charlie and Laura aren't holding back in their critique of Danielle Smith, Pierre Poilievre, and Ambassador Hoekstra in this fast-paced episode centred on anti-fascism.

This weekend, the headlines were filled with alarming developments: the ongoing tensions in the US-Israel War in Iran and the disturbing interference of Trump’s regime in Alberta politics. But amid these significant issues, a troubling new threat of voter manipulation is emerging that demands our attention.
