The True North Eager Beaver
#ELXN45 — Debate Night: Only in Canada, Eh?
On Episode 19 of our 45th federal general election coverage (AKA Episode 626 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show), the start time for tonight's French language debate was shifted to 6 p.m. To accommodate a win-and-you're-in hockey match featuring the Montréal Canadiens, handing Bloc Québecois leader, Yves-Francois Blanchet yet another debate night golden gift.
We look at Carney's promise to bolster the CBC and at more bad news befalling the Conservative Party leader.

674. Henry VIII Crashes Indigenous Peoples Day a -- The Daily Beaver Morning Show
02:27:06||Season 5, Ep. 674In Episode 674 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show, National Indigenous Peoples Day is tomorrow (June 21 — June is also National Indigenous History Month) and the community has been making its voice heard as Bill C-5 An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act is being bulldozed through the House of Commons, severely undermining, in the estimation of many, a decade of progress on Reconciliation.Ontario Premier Doug Ford's own Bill 5 and a rather racist outburst have him quickly swallowing some humble pie.NOTE: National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. For generations, many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities have celebrated their cultures, languages, and traditions at this time of year. The summer solstice holds deep spiritual and cultural significance for many Indigenous Peoples, marking a time of renewal, connection, and celebration.For a list of events in your community, please click here: https://tinyurl.com/ycxrpahy ________________________________________________The Daily Beaver Morning Show is 100% by Canadians, for Canadians & broadcast LIVE (most of the time), weekdays at 7-ish a.m. (EDT).Join the Best #DAMFAM in all podcasting™ to participate in the live chat on YouTube [youtube.com/@truenortheagerbeavermedia]Your kind financial support helps us cover the costs of production.

G7: PM Carney Stickhandles; Trump Leaves Early -- The Daily Beaver Morning Show
02:06:53||Season 5, Ep. 671In Episode 671 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show, according to all reports, the first day of the G7 couldn't have possibly gone better for Canada. Prime Minister Carney masterfully stickhandled all the potential disasters the presence of the Mad Mercenary of Mar-a-Lago could create and as expected, he left the summit early... but not in huff. That said, the reason he left may be because the world's about to get way more rough.That challenge got drastically harder since Friday morning.NOTE: Just about an hour-and-ten-minutes into the live show, we experienced a technical error during which sound clips did not play or appear on screen. We edited those portions out of the audio version but you won't miss much as we replayed the missing clips/sounds later on, however ,there may be one or two odd-sounding edits as it pertains to flow.

02:29:48||Season 5, Ep. 670In Episode 670 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show, as well as PM Mark Carney tried to plan ahead to minimize as much potential drama as possible coming from certain of the world's biggest egos about to sit at the G7 table, a dizzying array of global events suddenly bring about way darker clouds... and a President of the United States who probably is in a severely ego-bruised, fine, foul mood.That challenge got drastically harder since Friday morning.________________________________________________The Daily Beaver Morning Show is 100% by Canadians, for Canadians & broadcast LIVE (most of the time), weekdays at 7-ish a.m. (EDT).Join the Best #DAMFAM in all podcasting™ to participate in the live chat on YouTube [youtube.com/@truenortheagerbeavermedia]Your kind financial support helps us cover the costs of production.

Carney Goes Big on Defense -- The Daily Beaver Morning Show
02:55:41||Season 5, Ep. 666In Episode 666 [eep!] of The Daily Beaver Morning Show, as the G7 meeting approaches, Prime Minister Carney surprises on matters of defense, announcing that Canada will finally meet its NATO commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defense. It's a bold move that has strategic implications related to several of his other goals.Also: More guests are invited to or announce their attendance at the G7 meeting, one of whom is extremely controversial, causing some to remark that it's looking less and less like a G7 meeting and more like a "Gee! Really?!?!?" one.We also wonder: "Is Danielle Smith high??!" following an interview on CTV's Question Period during which she makes yet another disconcertingly laughably false claim, one that should raise concerns about either her competence or mental health."How's your mental health today?"Our 2nd annual MENtal Health Walk is coming up on June 14th.We ask that you reach out to a male-identifying person in your life, invite them out for a walk -- we suggest 5km -- and check in with them.
