May 26, 20241 hr 51 min

May 12, 20241 hr 44 min

Episode 281 - "Wacko" Government

Pierre Poilievre will live on in infamy for using the word "wacko" in the House of Commons and being kicked out. Not only is he not the only one to use that word, but he's not the worst offender. That, and more wacko shenanigans, and a little hockey to wrap the show!
