This week on Because News, we're joined by Brandon Ash-Mohammed, Jan Caruana and Courtney Gilmour. It was a busy news week as the premiers met in Saskatoon where Doug Ford made a musical entrance and Mark Carney was dubbed 'Santa Claus.' We also check in on the Oilers’ playoff run and ask, "why do the guys play Pink Pony Club in the locker room?" Plus, Anne of Green Gables gets a stage makeover, and The Price is Right Canada is here to remind us that no one knows what anything should cost anymore.

Plus, we unpack the softest trend sweeping TikTok: grown men telling each other "goodnight." Is it sweet, weird, or both?
