Carney Goes Big on Defense -- The Daily Beaver Morning Show

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. It's a bold move that has strategic implications related to several of his other goals.Also: More guests are invited to or announce their attendance at the G7 meeting, one of whom is extremely controversial, causing some to remark that it's looking less and less like a G7 meeting and more like a "Gee! Really?!?!?" one.We also wonder: "Is Danielle Smith high??!" following an interview on CTV's Question Period during which she makes yet another disconcertingly laughably false claim, one that should raise concerns about either her competence or mental health."How's your mental health today?"Our 2nd annual MENtal Health Walk is coming up on June 14th.We ask that you reach out to a male-identifying person in your life, invite them out for a walk -- we suggest 5km -- and check in with them. In order to break the stigma & normalize men talking to each other about their mental health, we particularly invite men to reach out to the men in their lives. If you are in Ottawa, join us for our walk. Following it, we will host our LIVE monthly PubCast.If you would like to contribute to help our beneficiary agencies, The Lonely Man Project and the Indigenous-led Men of the North program, by either making a donation or pre-ordering a walk t-shirt ($40 per shirt/size) plus write to [email protected].________________________________________________The Daily Beaver Morning Show is 100% by Canadians, for Canadians & broadcast LIVE (most of the time), weekdays at 7-ish a.m. (EDT).Join the Best #DAMFAM in all podcasting™ to participate in the live chat on YouTube [youtube.com/@truenortheagerbeavermedia]Your kind financial support helps us cover the costs of production.
