This beautiful Thursday, we kick off chatting about the National Day Calendar, also checking in with Sam as he looks at the (dusty!) history book, talking up and down about Elvis. Later, we'd usually be talking with Dr. Tim Slekar of BustED Pencils for our weekly education talk, but he's away today. We dive into the topic on our own, bashing school vouchers and efforts to pay for private school with taxpayer dollars. We transition to chatting about comments by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, lying once again about how tariffs work, and about how Canada would benefit from becoming the 51st state (lol).
