It's a DOUBBLE BBEAVER Friday, Kits 'n' Kubs!

This is part two

On Episode 556 of our show, Canada has reached a point at which the Prime Minister has announced his eventual step aside and the President-elect of the globe's biggest superpower is musing aloud about our economic annexation. Pierre Poilièvre, the leader of the opposition, has gone into hiding for about 72 hours. Today, we explore his utterly disastrous response to rapidly shifting sands revealing an inability to pivot, to think on his feet, to deviate from a script; in short, a frighteningly bad display proving he is unable to meet the current moment.

Today we talk about:

* SCOTUS Denies Agent Orange 

* Canada Adds 91,000 Jobs

* "Everything's Out of Control"

* He's Not Ready

* Joly is Out

* Team Canada Wins 17-0

The Daily Beaver Morning Show is broadcast LIVE (most of the time), weekdays at 7-ish a.m. (Eastern; tech willing). Our take on the news is the purrr-fect thing for Canadians on-the-go who want to stay engaged
