Brittlestar and Lisa tackle a week that somehow managed to get worse.
From Mark Carney’s principled Davos speech to his awkward endorsement of the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, Canada finds itself diplomatically sandwiched between its values and its geography. The hosts dig into why the timing of Operation Epic Fury feels suspiciously convenient — and what the avalanche of newly released Epstein documents might have to do with it.
They break down the growing list of resignations and arrests tied to the Epstein files, why Prince Andrew’s takedown was no ordinary trade-secrets scandal, and what it means that the US appears to be the only country where nobody powerful has faced real consequences. Plus: cornered-squirrel Trump, a congressman who can’t spell “fury,” Keir Starmer’s deeply unhelpful anger origin story, and the impossible chess game facing a Canadian prime minister who can’t afford to tell the truth — but probably can’t afford not to.
Funny where it can be. Worried where it has to be.
