Welcome to the Beaver Lodge!

The Silence from Ottawa: What Are They Actually Doing?

It's September 8, 2026... The day after Labour Day... classes have begun for everyone...

In politics, proceedings in the House of Commons — otherwise known as Canada's Adult Daycare Centre, thanks to the current crop of Conservatives — will resume starting on September 21.

But also today is when our very long-awaited counterpunches upon the U.S. for its tedious tariff tackiness start landing...

The world is watching us follow through... Will it follow us?

Pierre's latest presser is a phone-it-in moment. Is his heart in it anymore?

Canada's counterpunch against U.S. tariffs begins today. Join us as we break down the latest updates in Canadian politics.

It is Tuesday, September 8, 2026, and the long weekend has officially wrapped up. As we settle back into the rhythm of the week, we are looking closely at how the federal government is handling the latest challenges, including new donations for flood victims and the ongoing economic strain reflected in rising diesel prices.

We are also examining the latest developments in national affairs, specifically the long-awaited response to U.S. tariffs. With the House of Commons set to resume later this month, we discuss whether the current strategy holds water and what the silence from certain public figures might signal for the months ahead. It is a critical look at the policies shaping our country right now.
