As Prime Minister Mark Carney reaches the pivotal milestone of 100 days in office, we find ourselves at a crucial crossroads. With President Trump spiralling further into authoritarianism and alarming rhetoric echoing from Fox News about a hostile takeover of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, it's clear that the stakes have never been higher. Premier Ford is leveraging this chaos to justify ignoring pressing environmental concerns, pushing forward with a $100 billion tunnel project under Highway 401 that nobody asked for.


Amid this tumultuous landscape, advance voting has begun in the Battleriver-Crowfoot race—a critical showdown between Bonnie Critchley and Pierre Poilievre that could shape our future.


Host Laura Babcock is joined by David Moscrop of the Globe and Mail and the Walrus to unpack the real threats to American democracy, the ripple effects on Canada's economy and sovereignty, and explore how we can not only survive but emerge as a stronger nation during these uncertain times.


Now more than ever, we need to rally together to protect our democratic values and safeguard our country’s future. Join us in this vital conversation—like, comment, and subscribe. Let's build a robust pro-democracy community that stands firm against threats to our freedoms and works tirelessly to ensure a brighter tomorrow for all Canadians!🇨🇦
