    The Pierre Poilievre Blind Spot / International News — The Daily Beaver Morning Show

    On Episode 546 of our show, we explore possible ways forward should the Prime Minister decide to stay on. We also discuss the misguided — and recurring — idea that when it comes to scrutiny and ethics, there is little to no need to be concerned about the Leader of the Opposition (or leaders of opposition parties all around), simply because they are not currently in position to enact decisions for the nation; that the fact they aspire to be one day should not warrant scrutiny and reporting on their ethics prior to them being able to enact decisions for the nation. We also have a block of international news   Today we talk about: * Two Competing Hypotheses About the Way Forward * Prorogation and The Foreign Interference Report * Party Leaders' Vacations: An Unhelpful Double Standard * Atlantic Liberal Caucus Letter to the PM * LeBlanc and The Irvings * Deadline For 2024 Tax Eligible Charitable Donation Extended To February 28, 2025 * More Gossip: Anaida's Tell; O'Lexit  * Ontarians With Disabilities Act * BC Home Flipping Tax * World Juniors Update: Canada vs. USA Tonight * Powerful Paycheques and Impotent Pensions * Starter Homes for Beavers in BC International News Block * Romania and Bulgaria Join Shengeng Area * Progressive Belgium: Vaping Bans and Regulating Sex Work * Plane Incidents * South Korea: Impeachment III? * Ukraine Does Not Renew Gazprom Deal * Syria Plot Twist: A Strategic Alliance with Ukraine * POTUS Biden Commutes 37/40 Death Sentences * Jimmy Carter: Jan 9th Will Be a National Day of Mourning The Daily Beaver Morning Show is broadcast LIVE (most of the time), weekdays at 7-ish a.m. Eastern (tech willing).  Join the Best #DAMFAM in all podcasting™ to participate in the live chat on our YouTube page [youtube.com/@truenortheagerbeavermedia] Our take on the news is the purrr-fect thing for Canadians on-the-go who want to stay engaged.
