The OShow with Laura Babcock

The current state of global affairs is a mess, and we can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines after this truly hellish year. Putin's War in Ukraine poses a direct threat to all of Europe, and the ongoing Trade War with America has significant implications for our economy. As Trump becomes increasingly cruel and cornered by his comments about Rob Reiner, the allegations of the US murdering the men floating on pieces of a boat, and the Epstein Files release deadline, his actions and reports of the rising MAGA movement and Fascism in Canada cannot be ignored.Moreover, we are witnessing horrific events like the recent Anti-Semitic terror attack in Australia. At the same time, MAGA propaganda continues to infiltrate Canadian media, fueled by figures like Poilievre and his crew. The rampant corruption by Conservative Premiers, such as Smith and Ford, has left our Scandal Panel—comprising Keith Leslie and Mark Cripps—in a justified fury as we approach the holidays. (Apologies for all the swearing)However, amidst this darkness, there are glimmers of hope. The global resistance to tyranny and the calm, steady leadership from Premier Carney offer us a path forward. The panel also raises a toast to the courage and innovation of the Ukrainian people who are lighting the way for the free world.Canadians need to unite in the face of tyranny, and this panel is here to provide not just analysis, but laughter and wisdom as we seek to protect peace and democracy.Now is the time for you to take action.
