    POWERCAST: CARNEY FLOODS ZONE WITH SUCCESS, GREENLAND DEAL WITH TRUMP, POILIEVRE 'WOUNDED'

    As Greenland makes a concerning deal with the USA, it’s crucial that Canadians remain vigilant against the encroaching threats from the Fascist Trump Regime, which has its sights set on our beloved country. Under the inspiring leadership of PM Mark Carney, who is securing vital partnerships with the EU and attracting potential investors, we have a guiding light. In contrast, Pierre Poilievre continues to undermine our efforts, accusing Carney of secret deals and even suggesting to Americans that Canada is “confused and wounded.” Now, more than ever, we need voices like Charlie Angus, the fearless Leader of the Canadian Resistance, and Laura Babcock, host of OShow, to rally together in these dire times. In their latest #Powercast, they are not just calling for unity; they are demanding action as we face the threats to our democracy from across the border. Canadians, it’s time to stand together and resist! Join us in sharing, commenting, and subscribing to the conversation. We are in this fight as one—our democracy, our values, and our future depend on it. Let’s lock arms and show the world that we refuse to back down.

    CARNEY PREPARES CANADA FOR WAR, CHRETIEN THE GIANT, POILIEVRE AND JIVANI FAIL

    In a monumental moment for Canada, Prime Minister Carney and Ukrainian President Zelensky have joined forces in Alberta, committing to a groundbreaking initiative to produce 2 million drones and signing a visionary 100-year deal that sends a clear message to Trump and Putin: Canada and Ukraine stand strong and independent! As former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien asserts, Canada bows to no one, and we must recognize the critical importance of unity in our leadership. However, in this pivotal time, Conservative Pierre Poilievre and Jamil Jivani seem to miss the mark, undermining our nation when we need to stand together most. We must rally behind leaders who prioritize the strength and integrity of our democracy. Join Charlie Angus, Leader of the Resistance in Canada and Host of Meidas Canada, and Laura Babcock, host of the OShow, as they dissect the threats facing our democracy and urge Canadians to rise up and support our leaders.

    SCANDAL PANEL: CARNEY CRUSHES, POILIEVRE SELLS OUT, HOESKTRA GO HOME, FORD CORRUPT SHUFFLE

    This past week has been extraordinary for Canada. With Rolling Stone hailing Prime Minister Mark Carney as the Leader of the Free World and the historic state visit from Ukraine's President Zelensky, our nation is making headlines for all the right reasons. Yet, amid this remarkable achievement, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre chose to undermine our efforts by travelling to the US and casting doubt on Team Canada during a television appearance. This move not only disrespects our government but also jeopardizes our global standing. Meanwhile, Ontario Premier Doug Ford's cabinet shuffle raises serious questions about transparency and integrity, seemingly rewarding those embroiled in corruption. This is not merely politics; it's a call to action for all of us who care about the integrity of our democracy. Join Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and Laura Babcock as they tackle these pressing issues and the 25th anniversary of 911 with a dynamic blend of seriousness, humour and rage. Their raucous take on the week's events is more than just entertainment; it’s a vital reminder of the importance of holding our leaders accountable. Let’s stand together to call out bad actors and safeguard our democracy. Share, subscribe, and comment! Our voices matter, and together, we can foster a brighter future for Canada.
