In Episode 681 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show, it's Canada Day and many of us are in quite a mood: An impending referendum on Alberta sovereignty; an on-its-face disconcerting move by PM Carney's Government on national tax policy, the official start of the Pierre Poilièvre Vanity Tour, and of course; noted rising discontent among Indigenous communities are all part of the mix this year.

On this, the 3rd annivers...
