Peace through... bunker-busting bombs?
Israel and Iran may not "know what the fuck they're doing", but is it possible Trump does? Luke and the Panel (Ian MacIntyre, Megan MacKay and Nile Seguin) talk about Trump starting WWIII and then getting a ceasefire 48 hours later, debate whether this is the one in a million ceasefire that Israel won't break, and break down the dangers of the recently passed Bill C-5. Then the Approximately 10 Minute Long Quiz finds the sexiest way to inherit 1 million dollars. If you'd like an extended version of the Podcast that discusses the Canada-EU defense pact through the lense of an extended cucking metaphor, check us out on Patreon.

Carney And The Premiers Go Nation Building
The vibes are high at the First Ministers Meeting. Maybe a little... too high? Luke and the Panel (Nile Seguin, Megan MacKay and Clare Blackwood) recap the "best first ministers meeting in 10 years" according to a premier who has been in power for 7, examine Danielle Smith's unrelenting popularity in Alberta, and break down the disturbing implications of the Strong Borders Bill.

Every week Beaverton editor-in-chief Luke Gordon Field assembles an all-star Panel of comedians to talk, mock and riff their way through the news of the week. Then he puts their knowledge of the news to the test in a very important quiz where the stakes couldn't be lower. The Beaverton Weekly Report is a hilarious look at what's going on in the world around us. It's just like watching CNN, only funnier and with fewer erectile dysfunction ads.
