About this episode

The episode discusses recent political chaos and the need for action against authoritarianism in Ontario and beyond.

It's time to take a stand! This past week has been nothing short of chaotic, with Trump almost passing out in the Oval Office and Congress finally pushing back against the stupid War in Iran. We can't ignore the authoritarian tactics of Premier Doug Ford, who has chosen to shut down the legislature until Halloween to evade scrutiny over his Gravy Plane and FOI scandals. Meanwhile, Hamilton has taken action, protesting against the AI Data Centre, showing that the power of the people can prevail! On the national stage, we see Poilievre fumbling with his narrative on the recession while Alberta's Danielle Smith grapples with the very real costs of separation. And while that happens, Ukraine is putting up a fierce fight, demonstrating resilience against Putin's aggression! Join Laura Babcock, Keith Leslie, and Mark Cripps as they delve into these crucial issues affecting our democracy. This is not just a conversation; it's a call to action! We need to unite to end the MAGA movement and put a stop to Doug Ford's authoritarian grasp on Ontario. Don't miss this inspiring and upbeat discussion on how we can regain control and safeguard our democratic rights. Like, share, and comment—let…
