About the Episode

Hey Kits!

Weekdays at 7-ish Eastern, we livestream a (sometimes) quick take on the news, in addition to our usual formats.

Today, we have as a guest to The Beaver Lodge, the Artistic Director of Theatre Kingston, to discuss a most excellent play she had commissioned, titled “Blood River”, which explores the issue of abortion, and lack of access thereto.

We also discuss an import address by Global Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, highlighting an evolution in our nation’s foreign policy, that did not get the play or profile it deserved.

TODAY WE TALK ABOUT:

Blood River

Access to Abortion

Canada’s Evolving Foreign Policy

Mélanie Joly

It’s Happened Elsewhere

Maybe You Need a Union?

Our morning show is the purrr-fect thing for busy Kits who are on-the-go, but still want to stay engaged.

This is episode 245 of the Daily Beaver Morning Show.

Not everyone can do everything. But everyone can do something.

Because #DemocracyIsSomethingYouDo…

Write to your MP, MPP, MLA, MNA, Senator, or preferred local media outlet to tell them you expect them to dig deep into the Doug Ford corruption story as well as indicted-in-the-USA-for-trying-to-steal-an-election Mike Roman’s links to Stephen Harper and Andrew Scheer.

If you live in the Northwest Territories, there’s a territorial election on November 14. Make sure you’re registered, vote early if you can, make a plan to vote, and bring a friend to the polls with you. Friends don’t let friends do democracy alone.

Be a good neighbour: Make sure to get your XBB, flu, pneumonia, and / or RSV shots, to be sure you’re ready for both the respiratory virus and holiday gathering seasons. Let’s all do our bit to keep our hospitals unclogged

Finally, support your fellow Canadians by donating to the Red Cross Wildfire Response. To do some good around the world, the Red Cross also has an appeal to help those devastated by the recent earthquake in Morocco.
