The lights. The sequins. The glamour. The sashes. The Crown. The pageant scene is bustling will all kinds of events, for all kinds of people, of all ages and sizes, but they often misunderstood. Canada is no stranger to pageant success, with Ashley Callingbull, the reigning Miss Universe Canada, having won the Mrs. Universe title in 2015 and placing top 10 at Miss Universe 2024, one of the most prestigious ones on the circuit.

In 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 ro...

In 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.

In Episode 667 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show, Prime Minister Carney had more to say about Canada's ability to sense its position and movement in space as the world is rapidly changing, when speaking of shoring up our national defence, noting that if we are not at the table, then we are on the menu.


In addition, he confirms beyond any doubt to Rainbow Canadians that he is indeed an ally.

In 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.

In Episode 663 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show, the New Democratic Party drew much attention to itself — mostly negative — by talking a really big game about creating a situation that hypothetically could have led to the fall of the Government of Canada, extremely early in the mandate, promising it would vote against the Address in Reply to the Speech from the Throne. The party then made a fool of itself by opting not to...

In Episode 662 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show, the Conservative Party of Canada plays fast and loose with the truth with Canadians, and especially its own voters, claiming they have forced the governing party to table a spring budget — when reality is nautical miles away from the claim — and that they need to raise money for recounts — because, of course, they might be shady.
