The OShow with Laura Babcock

After a scandalous loss to Belgium in the World Cup, Trump renews threats to NATO countries, and US Ambassador Hoeskstra makes new demands on Canada; meanwhile, Ukraine is getting bombarded by Russia, and Prime Minister Mark Carney makes a major investment in submarines. Mark Gerretson, MP from Kingston and Whip for Mark Carney's Liberal Government, joins host Laura Babcock for a thoughtful and informative discussion on how to not capitulate to Trump, to protect Canada and Ukraine on the battlefield and against far-right disinformation on social media.

What was meant to be a celebration of 250 years of democracy in the United States has turned into something shocking and unacceptable—a Nazi Parade in Washington, an event that went largely unreported by the media. At the same time, U.S. Ambassador Hoekstra is inviting those involved in the Convoy to his Fourth of July party in Ottawa, while MP Jamil Jivani shares vile rants against PRIDE and Canadian diversity.

This is not just a fleeting moment; it's a pivotal time for our values and our future. Charlie Angus, host of Meidas Canada, and Laura Babcock are stepping up to confront the rising Fascist threat in our country and the dangerous rhetoric surrounding the Iran War.

Now is the time for all of us to engage in this critical conversation about our democracy. We cannot stand by and let these extremist views take root. Join us in this urgent call to action to fight against fascism in Canada! Subscribe, share, and comment—your voice matters, and together we can make a difference!

After a week of lively Canada Day celebrations, where we witnessed PM Carney secure a significant deal for Alberta and one for BC, and Bryan Adams bravely releasing his protest anthem against the idea of Canada becoming the 51st State, tensions are running high. With JD Vance's controversial buddy, MP Jamil Jivani, displaying troubling homophobic and xenophobic rhetoric, and Doug Ford jetting off on the Gravy Plane at the expense of Ontarians, it’s clear we need to act!

Join our passionate panel of Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and host Laura Babcock, as they bring the heat with candid, heartfelt discussions that call out the dangerous rhetoric of the Maple MAGA Conservative Party and the corrupt Ford regime. This isn’t just another political commentary—it’s a rallying cry for all Canadians to stand together in defence of our democracy!

On this extraordinary Canada Day, we had the privilege of speaking with Thomas Lukasik, the inspiring leader of the Forever Canadian movement. As he heads to an important event in Alberta alongside Prime Minister Mark Carney, he's on a mission to reinforce Canadian unity that we all can rally around.

This is a crucial moment for our nation, especially with the upcoming referendum by Danielle Smith and the separatists. Thomas passionately articulates the significance of this day, reminding us of our shared values and collective identity.

Moreover, he shares a thoughtful perspective on what he hopes the U.S. would do differently regarding their approach to Canadian domestic matters.

This conversation is a powerful reminder of who we are as Canadians. Let’s come together, show our love for our fellow Albertans, and embrace this "Christmas" Day for unity!

In a shocking turn of events, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has been exposed for secretly using his extravagant Gravy Plane, costing taxpayers a staggering $10,000 an hour, to jet off to the United States. This isn't just a misuse of public funds—it's a blatant disregard for the people he serves. To make matters worse, he has blocked Freedom of Information requests regarding his cell phone, raising serious concerns about transparency and accountability.

Additionally, after initially claiming there would be no school absences, he had to backtrack on that promise to allow students to participate in sports tournaments this fall. This is not the leadership Ontarians deserve!

In our latest uncut episode of the OShow, Host Laura Babcock sits down with Marit Stiles, the Leader of the Official Opposition, to discuss a pressing question: How do we rid ourselves of Doug Ford as Premier—NOW, instead of waiting three long years for the next election?

This is a critical moment for our democracy. We urge you to tune in, hear the tough answers to the questions weighing on Ontarians' minds, and join the movement to demand better leadership. Don’t just stand by—like, share, and comment to help us protect our democracy together! Let’s take action!
