DamFam! A dear friend of ours came to town on an emergency trip and is staying with us (for an indefinite amount of time), because his mother is in the hospital near to us at the Beaver Lodge, and without giving away too many details that are not mine to…

So... The likely biggest personal data breach in Canadian history, coming to us from the depths of "Conservative Country" in Alberta took a few turns yesterday as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tried her usual go-to plays: run, hide, deflect, deny, accuse the opposition of failing in their duties... She tried…

So... The Alberta Centurion-Republican-Buffalo Perfidy people (or whatever they're calling themselves) have handed in the alleged signatures they allegedly collected. Unfortunately, the (potentially very criminal) alleged sloppiness/negligence/depraved indifference with which electoral lists were managed (when coupled with many of the key players' well-documented histories of personal — oh, let's call…

It's spring and the people of the world are breaking out their brooms to clear house! Viktor Orbán, the now thankfully former Dick-tator of Hungary and poster child of success of the Global Right's authoritarian push of the last 10 -15 years, has been soundly defeated by his centre-right rival…

It was relatively slow news weekend, as the Prime Minister was in Armenia, attending the European Political Community summit (becoming the first leader of a non-European nation to ever be invited to it). Meanwhile... Back in Canada... The flailing alleged "Leader" of His Majesty's allegedly "Loyal" Opposition, on at least…

Following the Conservative vote cratering in the recent by-elections that gave PM Mark Carney and his government a majority government, Canada's incredible shrinking Leader (?!?) of the Opposition is not coping well at all with defeat and vows to stay on.... as Canadians groan because he STILL won't take the…

After blowing a 26-point lead, losing his seat, and losing 3 MPs to floor-crossings, the human political deadweight formally known as Pierre Poilièvre had the gall to pull a Janet Jackson and ask his caucus: "What Have You Done For MEEEEEEEE, Lately?" Messieurs Beaver and Grizzly are amused and bewildered…

DamFam! There was just too much DAM news, so we need to offer you some BONUS BEAVER. It's a slightly-less-than-casual-Friday wine and cheese (AKA bring your favourite bevvy and snack) 🍷🧀🦫 And hopefully, we'll be done in time to catch the Habs! It's been a big week and the economic…

Mr. Grizzly is back for some casual Friday chat, after an eventful Newsweek, and brings us a bit of information about a game-changing EV technology coming from China.

Very, very, very, very, very bad things are happening in Alberta as both Elections Canada and the RCMP are looking at how it got access to a database of all Albertans' registered to vote personal data, including home addresses. Is this, Danielle Smith's 'Doug Ford FOI' moment? Is this, finally,…

A series of very rotten polls has bad news for the Premier of Ontario, the Leader of His Majesty's Loyal (?!?) Opposition, and the Leader of the Opposition in Alberta. In Ontario, the speed with which Doug Ford is being thrown overboard by the electorate seemed sharp and sudden, but…

Better than expected economic performance resulted in a bonus $60 billion popping into the budget. Some of it was already spoken for with the groceries and essentials rebate and the cut to the excise tax on gas, but the liberals managed to beat their deficit projection by about $11 billion.…

"Why does this keep happening to you?" asked a journalist after yet another shooter was apprehended at an event at which the POTUS was to be present, namely the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew took a shot of his own on the issue of trade with…

Whilst in Ottawa to announce yet another affordable housing project under the Building Canada Homes umbrella, PM took questions, and as one expects, most of them had to do with the state of trade negotiations with the United States. It was a very interesting watch because, we might have gotten…

Rumours of the United States now demanding an "entry fee", in the form of a list of concessions to it just to be able to access the negotiating table from which it walked away and we never left, had many north of the 49th chuckling in Canadian. While the USA…

[Yesterday, on Part 1...] On the background of a recently-announced greater than $51 billion set aside for infrastructure upgrades and the announcement of a major foreign investment summit to take place in Toronto later this year... The Mark Carney Liberals now have a majority-designate government. The Prime Minister held a…

[In Part 1] The Mark Carney Liberals now have a majority-designate government. It's the beginning of a new era and the prime minister kicks it off by adding to his communication strategy something for which we (and many others) have called: a modern-day fireside chat to talk directly to Canadians…

Doug Ford decides he doesn't need a private jet, after all...

Well hello and good morning! No topics today, just testing out some equipment while I rebuild the studio. Sipping on coffee and chillin' with Lola.

Once again, we find ourselves asking the same question... What the hell was that? Pierre Poilievre spewing insane garbage out of his pie hole while (allegedly) drunk, decided that he should double down whilst addressing the Canadian Club... He went off on elites and anti intellectualism, to a room of…

It is the 44th anniversary of our cherished Charter of Human Rights. There is an uptick in hope as the "ceasefire" in the Middle East expands to Lebanon And then, we take a look at a (emphasis on) wide variety of political-related naughtiness from the bizarre to the deeply serious…

Monsieur PoiliOVER has declared that he is staying and that you (and you, and you, and you) are going to love him. We look at some recent interviews and other media moments, as the Conservatives seem to still be going with the public façade of full support behind the leader…
