Today on Scott Fox After 9, the focus is on Ontario Premier Doug Ford and a news conference that raised eyebrows across the province. Ford attempts to justify massive cost increases tied to post-secondary education, offering explanations that many students and families will find hard to swallow. He also floats the idea of having retail workers report to work on Family Day, a move that sparks serious questions about affordability, workers' rights, and whether everyday Ontarians are being pushed too far.
Also on the podcast, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre claims Canada is facing a food crisis, pointing to rising grocery prices and affordability concerns. Meanwhile, Mark Carney announces a new initiative that would see epic amounts of money spent on national defence. Three major stories, one episode, and a lot to unpack.
