Friday, September 9, 2022 is the first full day of the Caroline Era. King Charles lll arrived at Buckinham Palace midday, meeting and greeting some of the thousands of people who are holding vigil outside the palace to pay tribute to the new king and his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth ll.
Charles delivered his first public speech as the monarch at 6pm in the UK. He acknowledged the sacrifice and service his mother offered during her reign and made the same commitment. While he admitted he would have to step away from his pet projects and causes, it was interesting to note that he charged the newly "created" Prince and Princess of Wales (William and Kate) with the responsibility to help those who live on the margins of society.
There is plenty of commentary suggesting Elizabeth set a bar to high for Charles to match. But unlike his mother, Charles had the opportunity to learn how to be king from Great Britain's longest serving monarch. 
Perhaps we underestimate the new king.

Today on the final edition of The Daily Brief, it's all over except for the final ballot count determining who will lead the Conservative Party of Canada. Post Media columnist Brian Lilley joins the podcast to offer insights on how this process has and will play out.
The final result will be announced on Saturday, September 10 and, based on reports that more than 400 thousand ballots have been cast, Pierre Poilievre is expected to be declared the winner.
But what will that mean for the party moving forward? Conservatives haven't been all that patient with their leaders since Stephen Harper's tenure ended in 2015.
