Welcome to 2026, DamFam!!
Messieurs Beaver and Grizzly ring in the New Year with some politically-tinged chat as well as some talk about mental health.
Mr. Grizzly shares some thoughts on the tragic death of Prashant Sreekumar, while waiting on an Edmonton ER for help that never came.
We then talk about THE big news: Who made the cut for Team Canada Hockey at the upcoming Winter Olympics.
We also speak of Canadians Who Make Us Proud as more of the best and brightest among us are inducted into or elevated within the ranks of The Order of Canada.
