Pre-Opening Ceremony events at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics start today and we have some news about changes to the men's hockey team and figure skating team as well as 'the skeleton scandal' involving Canada.
Bill Blair and Nate Erskine-Smith announce they will be leaving their federal seats, the first to take on a diplomatic role as the High Commissioner to the U.K. and the latter to take a second run at the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party.
Finally, we will finish our look at the speech Pierre Poilièvre gave to secure his position within his party and share a bit of PeePeenfreude as yet more gawdawful public opinion results land at his feet.
PROGRAMMING NOTE
As the connection fades in and out here in Yelapa, I don't want to risk attempting a LIVE yet, so I will record the episode as soon as I can and will air it immediately after.
Please note that the start time is merely a placeholder (the show will not start before the stated time, but stay tuned for updates)
