In this episode, the Eager Beaver and Mr. Grizzly touch upon four current hot, sticky messes affecting the country: First, some News You Can use about the state of the COVID pandemic in Canada (and it’s not good); then we touch upon the evolving science from NACI on the AstraZeneca vaccine; that’s followed by a dive into the sexual impropriety scandal involving former CDS General Vance; and finally, we discuss ‘politicians behaving badly’ on Bill C-10.

Also in the show, the Beaver Lodge welcomes opinion writer and public intellectual David Moscrop, who recently got tongues wagging with his Doug Ford Must Resign opinion piece, recently published in The Washington Post. We touch upon whether were are Too Dumb for Democracy (he even wrote a book about it).

And we’ll finish the show with a shout out to our patrons, listener feedback, and a few bits of cool news about Canadians having done things about which we can all be proud.

Apologies for the delays and the now slightly dated info, but we hope you will enjoy it just the same.

Democracy is Something You Do. 

Be Kind to & Gentle with Yourself.
