In this segment, we discuss the classic dystopian thriller, 'The Running Man', starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and how this science fiction narrative resonates with contemporary concerns about manipulation and public perception.

Recent statements made about México indicate that PM Carney's carefully worded, nuanced, and considered statement on events in Venezuela was indeed the correct long game approach. Misogyny masquerading as ethics was clearly the order of the day from the CPC (and surprisingly, the NDP camps) as a "Get Freeland" pile-on…

Apologies for the late start; we are having some technical issues at the Ottawa Beaver Lodge, this morning. Americans and the world watch astoundedly, but without surprise, as officials in the United States appear to be reenacting 1984 in real time, following the assassination of Renee Nicole Good (two others…

Between yesterday's domestic terrorist attack in Minneapolis, and Pierre Poilievre's over the top assholerey... Where does one begin... Well, let's start with Minneapolis and go from there.

We take a look at certain changes — some already scheduled, some aspirational — coming into effect in 2026. After four long, and brutally cold days, power is restored on Pimicicamak First Nation. The Conservative machine is spinning its wheels... and short on specifics. An outsider candidate is laying the…

Though she had taken the steps needed to clear everything with the Ethics Commissioner, optics and an incessant very collaborative drumbeat from both the Conservative and NDP camps have caused Chrystia Freeland to announce she will be stepping down officially on Friday. NDP MP Lori Idlout also claims that there…

As the pace of incoming news surrounding recent events in Venezuela starts to slow a bit, we have a chance to take a bit of breath and touch upon other stories. We have updates of stories about the Parliamentary Budget Office, Chrystia Freeland being named an economic development adviser for…

After choosing to engage in behaviours that he should/could have reasonably foreseen would generate much speculation, gossip, and innuendo, Premier Doug Ford complains that the quest for accountability for those very same behaviours would be unfair to him as it would generate much speculation, gossip, and innuendo (seeming without wondering…

Mr. Beaver laughs at the paper thin argument Premier Doug Ford's lawyer used (very unsuccessfully) to attempt to convince a panel of judges that he shouldn't have to hand over his phone records, after going waaaaay out of this way to use his personal phone to mix personal and government…

A panel of judges agreed with lawyer Paul Champ's argument that the Premier of Ontario complaining that him having to do the work of sifting through his personal phone records, to separate his personal calls from government business calls, would be too much work because he brought that mess upon…

After years of trying to block access to his personal phone records (because he opted, all on his own, to use his personal phone to conduct government business), Doug Ford receives a judicial order to hand them over. From episode #825 — "You're Next!" / Freeland to Step Down Thanks…

Some days, I, just can't even; the obnoxious, smarmy, narcissist that is the Opposition leader is doubling down on his assholery. This morning, he called Prime Minister Mark Carney a "Counterfeit". Man, his day of reckoning is gonna be a DOOZY for all of the lies, all of the rage…

So, IQ47 (AKA Donald Trump) unilaterally, and against all requirements of both domestic and international law, seized Venezuela's Maduro and his wife. Pierre Poilièvre, once again, rushes in to win the current nanosecond with a take so treacherous, disloyal, and untrustworthy that he might have just granted PM Mark Carney…
