## Resource

Just when it seemed like Ontario could finally breathe a sigh of relief after grounding Ford's extravagant $30 million private jet purchase, he has taken another alarming step, acting like an authoritarian by pushing through a late-night vote that retroactively undermines our freedom of information. This is not just a political maneuver; it's an assault on our democratic rights! As frustration mounts, citizens across the province are stepping up and taking to the streets this Saturday for the Fight Ford Protests, and it's about time! Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney is not only enjoying his hard-earned majority but also courageously standing up to the Trump regime's attempts to intimidate Canada in trade talks. In sharp contrast, Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre is floundering, reverting to ridiculous attacks that only highlight his desperation in the face of Carney's leadership. Join journalist Keith Leslie and former editor Mark Cripps on the Scandal Panel as they bring much-needed laughter and insightful analysis about the ongoing issues surrounding Ford, Trump, and Poilievre. They offer critical commentary on the serious threats to our democracy here in Ontario and the growing tensions from the war in Iran, with a reckless administration in the White House catering to Christofascists. This is a pivotal moment—let’s come together to defend our rights and our democracy! Don’t miss out. Tune in for camaraderie and sharp insights, and be sure to hype, share, and subscribe to keep the conversation going! #canadanews #canada #canadastrong #carney #trump #alberta #ontario #elbowsup #elbowsup #poilievre #tradewar #gravyplane #fightfordemocracy #FightFordProtest #dougford #canadianpodcast #canadianpolitics An independent podcast, the best way to support our w…
