The True North Eager Beaver
"Introducing Mark Carney: A Political Star Is Born?" -- The Daily Beaver Morning Show
On Part 1 of Episode 558 of our show, we explore the evolving Liberal leadership race pre-game show as two potential candidates bow out and one is taking up more space.
On Episode 558 of our show, we explore the expanding list of candidates for the Liberal leadership after Governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, as well as United Nations special envoy on climate action and finance, Mark Carney, flipped not only the Liberal leadership race, but the entire Canadian political narrative, on its head with one brilliant appearance on The Daily Show (with Jon Stewart) that has got tongues positively wagging.
Today we talk about:
* Liberal Leadership
* Alpha Males
* Karina Gould and Jonathan Wilkinson
* Frank Bayliss and Jaime Battiste
* Rural Canada Is Unheard
* Team Canada U-18 Women's Hockey Team: World Champions
* Australian Open, FAA Wins in Adelaide
* Nick Taylor Wins The Sony Open
* Peterson, O'Leary, ... Smith?
* The PM on Inside with Jen Psaki
* CPC: The Nasty Party
* Trillium Drug Program
* Harper Disagrees with Trump
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

When performing a compare and contrast analysis of the both the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition's responses, it would seem that the Conservative campaign has adopted the philosophy of: "If you can't beat him, be him".________________________________________________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.

02:38:42||Season 4, Ep. 611On Episode 611, though U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick promised Ontario Premier Doug Ford there'd be no surprises on tariffs, the USA had a little 'Signal' issue & so, IQ 47 needed to change the channel. We also discuss the launch of the Bloc Québecois's "national' campaign, during which Yves-François Blanchet had some very interesting thoughts about tariffs, Canadian sovereignty as well as the prospects for Québec independence, as he cleverly applied a rather solid frame to the party's raison-d'être this time around.In addition, Con Party Leader Pierre Poilièvre's math starts to no longer math (one can only fund so much by gutting foreign aid & the CBC) as he flip-flops on big, bloated, government programs in which, he once infamously told us, Cons don't believe.. & this latest attack of Mark Carney flops. ________________________________________________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.
