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 past week has been nothing short of wild and revealing! The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs is calling for a treason investigation into Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and her UPC Party, while she has the audacity to urge them to "check themselves."

While we face growing threats from Trump and his authoritarian regime in Alberta and across Canada, we cannot overlook the peril right here in Ontario. Premier Doug Ford represents a troubling Canadian version of Trump, as he aggressively takes control of our regions and school boards, and even pushes to commandeer the Toronto Island Airport. His retroactive ban on freedom of information requests, dating back to 1988, is a blatant attempt to silence transparency and accountability. Ford's numerous scandals have only served to enrich his network of friends, the so-called Gravy Class, exemplified by the infamous Gravy Plane scandal.

On the latest OShow POWERCAST, featuring Charlie Angus and Meidas Canada, host Laura Babcock delves into the crucial threats to Canadian sovereignty posed by the increasingly authoritarian Trump regime, alongside Charlie. Consider the implications of the cancellation of an 80-year USA-Canada defence board and mounting allegations linking the US Ambassador to the Alberta separatist cause and the shocking data breach affecting 3 million voters (allegations he denies) As if that weren't enough, Trump has taken a staggering $1.776 billion from taxpayers to fund his private army of January 6th insurrectionists, putting Americans and Canadians in a precarious position.
