CARNEY V TRUMP, SMITH AND POILIEVRE'S DANGEROUS POPULISM, STOPPING FASCISM IN CANADA
The OShow with Laura BabcockShow Notes
This past weekend, we witnessed an incredible display of leadership as Canadian PM Mark Carney forged historic alliances with France, Norway, and the EU. In stark contrast, we have seen Donald Trump’s contradictory statements regarding the ongoing War in Iran, raising critical concerns about the direction of leadership and diplomacy.
Closer to home, Pierre Poilievre and Danielle Smith are embracing a troubling brand of Trump-inspired populism, which poses a real risk of sliding into fascism right here in Canada. We cannot afford to be complacent in these challenging times.

Join us for an unfiltered and engaging discussion on the pressing issues facing Canada today! In a wild week marked by the Alberta referendum results, Danielle Smith is desperately trying to spin her way out of a political mess that impacts us all. Meanwhile, PM Mark Carney is taking a strong stand against Elon Musk, responding to the troubling situation in Ukraine after Starlink withdrew its services. As these developments unfold, BC is heading to the polls, while Doug Ford finds himself embroiled in another scandal.
In a world increasingly fraught with geopolitical tension, we find ourselves at a critical juncture. The alarming reality of the Trump regime’s actions—actively funding Putin’s war efforts in Ukraine by lifting sanctions and purchasing Russian diesel—cannot be ignored. This behaviour directly endangers global safety and democracy. As Europe faces a rise in drone and cyberattacks and the head of the UK Army urges citizens to prepare for potential conflict, the stakes have never been higher.
As we watch the results of Monday's historic Alberta referendum unfold, it’s clear the political landscape is shifting dramatically. Premier Danielle Smith finds herself in a precarious position, with separatist factions eager to displace her as UCP leader, raising the possibility of an imminent election. Voters in BC and Alberta are now faced with a stark choice: align with the far-right, influenced by the MAGA movement, or turn to the NDP.
After a monumental victory against the Separatists in the Alberta referendum, it's time to dig deeper into Canada's pressing issues. Join us as Leader of Forever Canadian, Thomas Lukaszuk, sits down with Host Laura Babcock for an unfiltered discussion of the ongoing threat of foreign interference in our democracy, Premier Danielle Smith's uncertain future, and the current state of Alberta and Canadian politics during these challenging times.
As Albertans head to the polls for Danielle Smith's despicable referendum, it’s crucial for all Canadians to stand up and demand accountability. We must unite against those traitors in Alberta who have conspired with the hostile Trump Regime. This isn't just a local issue; it’s a national crisis that threatens our democracy! Consider the implications: Putin is seeking a meeting with Trump and Xi to delineate their spheres of influence, all while billionaires like the broliguarchs at Starlink and Meta orchestrate disruptions to undermine our democratic processes. We can't let this happen!
