  Canada & Europe: What Is Carney Signing Us Up For? 17.09.2026 42min

  Today on Scott Fox After 9, Scott breaks down Mark Carney's speech to the European Parliament and what his proposed new relationship with Europe could mean for Canada.

  The Reports Were True - Carney To Sign Deal With The European Union 16.09.2026 45min

  Breaking news dominates today's episode as the European Union proposes making Canada its first-ever "associate member." Scott digs into the questions Canadians should be asking.

Will Europeans gain new rights to come to Canada to work and access the social safety net? And most importantly, what is the benefit to Canadians? Scott also looks at Mark Carney's plan to privatize the operation of Canada's four largest airports, putting private operators in charge. What will that mean for passengers, airport fees and the overall cost of flying? Scott asks the most important question: How does this benefit the flying public? Finally, Macklemore has been kicked off the remaining U.S. dates of Ed Sheeran's tour following controversy over his political comments.

  Municipal Elections Are Coming - This Fall Fire Them All 15.09.2026 47min

  Today on Scott Fox After 9, there's lots of talk about municipal politics after last night's Toronto mayoral debate. Scott has a simple message for voters heading into this fall's municipal elections. If your incumbent mayor spent the last four years repeatedly raising your taxes, they don't deserve your vote. The slogan is simple: This Fall, Fire Them All. Hear highlights from Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford, and Scott explains why he thinks voters should take a much closer look at the records of their municipal leaders before casting a ballot. Also on this episode, Vice President JD Vance is wondering why some of the biggest names in artificial intelligence are suddenly asking the government to regulate them. Is it a sincere request because they're concerned about where AI is heading, or is something else going on? You'll also hear from Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who is calling for Lindsay Clancy to be publicly executed. Scott asks a question that is certain to generate some strong opinions: Should Canada bring back capital punishment? And finally, Mark Carney now says he doesn't want Canada to become an associate member of the European Union, but he does want a special relationship with Europe. What exactly does that mean? Could people eventually move more freely between Canada and Europe? Would Europeans be able to come to Canada, access social services and compete for jobs with Canadians? Scott has plenty of questions about where this relationship could be heading. All that and more on today's Scott Fox After 9.

  Carney Denies EU Plan - So Where Did the Leak Come From? 14.09.2026 42min

  The Canada Investment Summit begins today in Toronto, with some of the world's biggest investors in the room and potentially enormous amounts of money on the table. But what exactly is Canada offering, and who ultimately benefits if deals get done? Scott is watching this summit closely. Prime Minister Mark Carney is also denying reports that Canada is looking to become an "associate member" of the European Union, despite a Wall Street Journal report suggesting his government has explored the idea. Was that report simply wrong, or was the leak a trial balloon designed to gauge how Canadians would react? Scott weighs in. Plus, another juror from the Lindsay Clancy trial speaks out, suggesting the jury understood it was dealing with a historic case and had the power to change the law. Independent journalist Nick Shirley talks about how much money he now spends on personal security because of threats from extremists. You'll also hear from President Donald Trump during his weekend trip to Ireland, where Canada came up more than once. And with another major U.S. election approaching, Scott breaks down the midterms: what they are, what's at stake, and why they matter. All that and lots more, today on Scott Fox After 9.

  Poilievre Was Pure Class On US Media - Carney Signs New Deal With Ukraine 11.09.2026 41min

  Pierre Poilievre takes his message of hope, common sense and free trade directly to America. The Conservative leader made several appearances on U.S. television yesterday, pitching his vision for a stronger Canada-U.S. relationship and making the case for knocking down tariffs and getting back to free trade. Meanwhile, Ontario Premier Doug Ford continues to ramp up the rhetoric against Donald Trump. Scott argues Ford and other premiers taking public shots at the President aren't helping Canada get a deal, and that it's time to let Prime Minister Mark Carney speak for the country when it comes to Canada-U.S. trade relations. Plus, Carney has signed a new 100-Year Partnership with Ukraine, while his government continues pursuing closer ties with Europe. Scott asks a bigger question: Is this the direction Canadians voted for? And with Canada increasingly looking toward Europe, was getting a new deal with the Americans ever really the priority?

  The reaction to the Lindsay Clancy trial keeps coming. After Scott shared his thoughts on the case yesterday, the DMs started pouring in. Today, he goes deeper. You'll hear directly from some of the jurors who were in the room, including what they say happened during deliberations, and Scott lays out some of the key reasons so many people believe Lindsay Clancy should be found not criminally responsible. Plus, is Canada about to move even closer to Europe? With reports of Prime Minister Mark Carney pursuing a deeper alliance with European partners, Scott weighs in on what that could mean, and whether Europe can really replace what Canada has with the United States. Canada and the EU have already been significantly expanding their relationship in trade, security, energy and defence. And where do the Conservatives actually stand on Donald Trump and the Canada-U.S. trade fight? Forget what people say Pierre Poilievre believes. Hear it directly from Pierre himself. How would he deal with Trump? What does he think Canada should be demanding at the negotiating table? And how different is the Conservative approach from Mark Carney's?
