So, it's the mid point of the week, the 3rd Monday, How we feeling? Mr. Grizzly realized late in the evening that he did NOT buy coffee at the grocer... This is going to be a long day, let's hope he isn't a Grumpy Grizzly...
Danielle Smith very clearly didn't want to shake the Prime Ministers hand, she looked rather sheepish, to say the least; she's been shit talking the man for months as Premiere, even longer as a private citizen, and today she had to look him in the eye & beg for money... We would have loved to hear that conversation! We're eager to tell yo about the strings attached to the federal dollars for the provinces... $196 Billion over the next 10 years, with $46.2 Billion in new funding... oh boy, here GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Hey Kits!
Weekdays at 7-ish Eastern, we livestream a (sometimes) quick take on the news, in addition to our usual formats.
Today we talk about:
Ending "scientism", and;
The (B)BQ's Yves-François Blanchet letting his well-established racist slip show again;
The controversy created by the appointment of Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first special representative on combating Islamophobia, and;
A quick update on health care funding discussions.
Our morning show is the purrr-fect thing for busy Kits who are on-the-go, but still want to stay engaged.
