Well, it's Friyay! We hope no one overdid it shoveling snow throughout ON & QC. It was a pretty good storm, not a blizzard, but a good storm nonetheless! Mr. Grizzly has noticed a fair bit of blowback against the telecom giant that promotes mental health awareness as a marketing tool... Rikes Raggy! Apparently, rumour has it that they talk a good game, but fail to back it up; we've been told that employees do NOT have access to mental health benefits... Hoo boy... Not touching that one! Skippy continues to LIBERALLY spread more bovine fecal matter in plain sight, yet almost no media company ever calls him on it... Curious that, eh. Ok, It's Friday, we've a ton of things to discuss and an announcement too! Here we gooooooo!
Hey Kits!
It's a new year, a new season, and a new episode of The Not Quite Daily Beaver Morning Show!
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning at 7 Eastern, we livestream a (sometimes) quick take on the news, in addition to our usual formats.
On today's episode, we talk about the uptick in death threats against elected officials; PM Trudeau adopting the perfect counter tone to Peter Poppinfresh D'oh's nihilistic everything is broken and only I can fix it campaign; we have a bit of a George Santos update for you; we provide an update on the situation in Ukraine along with the latest moves by Canada to assist; we wonder why Skippy, who allegedly does not support any kind of discrimination, keeps Garnett Genuis (Mr. Conversion Therapy 2019 - 2022) in caucus, and; we give you news you can used about the new Canada Dental Benefit.

Not everyone can do everything. But everyone can do something.
Because democracy is something you do...
Canadian Blood Services say that they have hundreds of missed donations due to the holiday storm that closed donor centers and mobile units. The nationwide inventory has dropped by more than 35% since October and there is a critical need for platelets for cancer patients and O-negative blood for newborns and emergencies. The CBS say its base has been shrinking, and is the lowest in decades.
They say blood is in you to give, so please roll them up for Canadian Blood Services or Héma Québec.
