Doug Ford & The Spice Girls (and no more FOI)

Ontario’s government says it wants to modernize transparency laws. Critics say it looks more like hiding the paperwork. This week on Politics Is Broken, Brittlestar and Lisa break down the Ford government’s proposed changes to Freedom of Information rules — which could exempt the premier’s office and cabinet ministers from requests while extending response times. The timing is raising eyebrows. Because the same government is also proposing a series of massive ideas — from the Greenbelt reversal to a $2.2 billion spa at Ontario Place and even a 50 km tunnel under Highway 401. So what’s going on? Bold governing? Convenience politics? Or government by vibes?

The Daily Blast: Trump Erupts in Fury as Damning Leaks on Botching of War Hit Him Hard

Over the weekend, Donald Trump unleashed two crazed tirades at the media over Iran. In one, he angrily accused news organizations of rooting for the United States to “lose the war.” In another, he openly urged his Federal Communications Commission chair to employ state power against media outlets that displease him. And in a weird rant to reporters, he angrily rebuked other countries for refusing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. All this comes as a New York Times expose reveals shocking details about Trump’s failings: In internal conversations, he appeared disconnected from basic realities about the strait and unable to grasp why his alienating of our allies is working against him. He also apparently got badly played by Benjamin Netanyahu. We talked to international relations expert Molly McKew, author of a good piece on the stakes of the moment. She explains how Trump’s treatment of allies is backfiring on him, why Trump might attempt a domestic press crackdown, and what to expect next in the war. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

No War Is Illegal (When They All Are) [SUBSCRIBER-ONLY]

Most Americans Think Trump’s Iran War Is About Epstein—What They’re REALLY Saying w/ Mehdi Hasan

Mehdi Hasan of Zeteo joins Tara to break down his explosive new polling that shows that a majority of Americans believe the war in Iran is at least partly tied to the release of the Epstein files. The numbers are stunning: the country is split nearly 50/50 on whether Trump went to war for American interests or Israeli interests. They discuss the school bombing that killed over 170 people on day one — and why a third of Americans haven’t even heard about it. Plus: why the White House press corps won’t ask Trump about Epstein, how our European allies are refusing to join the fight, and why independent journalism matters more than ever.

THE OSHOW: CARNEY PROTECTS CANADA, TRUMP THREATENS NATO, SEPARATISTS HURT ALBERTA, STOP MAGA MEDIA

As we enter the third week of the illegal war on Iran, the threats to Canada’s sovereignty and global democracy have reached unprecedented levels. With Trump’s aggressive rhetoric towards NATO countries, we must recognize the urgency of our situation. On this critical one-year anniversary of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s leadership, he has rallied the Middle Powers and Nordic partners, pledging a remarkable $35 billion to bolster our defence in the North. This is essential as Putin continues to profit from oil sales and intensifies his assaults on Ukraine. In Alberta, we confront a troubling rise in authoritarianism and separatist sentiments, as groups gather in alliance with the Trump regime. Meanwhile, American-owned MAGA-friendly media irresponsibly suggest that First Nation treaties are mere obstacles to Alberta’s separation. We cannot stand idly by as these dangerous narratives gain traction. Join Hon. Thomas Lukaszuk, former Alberta Deputy Premier and founder of the #ForeverCanadian movement, as he sits down with Laura Babcock for a riveting discussion. They’ll delve into the wars we face, analyze PM Carney’s leadership, and explore our collective duty to combat disinformation while safeguarding Canadian unity. This is not just a discussion; it is a call to action. We must come together to protect our democracy! Your voice matters—comment, share, and subscribe. Together, we can fortify our values and ensure a brighter future for Canada. Don't miss this chance to be part of a pivotal conversation! #alberta #canadanews #trump #canadastrong #carney #tradewar #canada #ontario #elbowsup #poilievre #ukraine #Iran #epsteinwar #Isreal #NATO #forevercanadian #ableg #albertaindependence #separation #markcarney An independent podcast, the best way to support our work is by subscribing.
