Influence Games (with guest Mubin Shaikh) --- The Daily Beaver Morning Show

Hey Kits!

Weekdays at 7-ish Eastern, we livestream The Daily Beaver Morning Show, a (sometimes) quick take on the news, in addition to our usual formats.

We are hearing a lot, these days, about alleged election interference by the government of the People's Republic of China, and because this is all about spycraft and intelligence, there's much the general public doesn't not - or could not ever -- know. That's a perfect opportunity for political opportunitsts and charlatans to fill in the blanks with that which they wish / want / need to be true to get you to dance to the tune they're calling.

Our very special guest today, Mr. Mubin Shaikh*, shares his expertise in order to help us sift through the narratives. He'll gives us some civics insight, as well some media and political literacy, to equip us with critical thinking guideposts, so as to not have the wool pulled over our eyes.

We also touch on the Rouleau report.

He was very generous with his time and we are most grateful.

So Kits, please settle in for this engaging Monday Morning Beaver Bite / Interview.

Today, we talk about:

• Toronto City Hall Election Speculation;
• US GOP nomination speculation;
• Mubin Shaikh on Interference: What You Need to Know to Be Informed
• Canadians Who Make Us Proud;

Our morning show is the purrr-fect thing for busy Kits who are on-the-go, but still want to stay engaged.
