Bambi brings the news of a blockage at the Regina zoo airport, the United States pulling out, the RCMP having a racism problem, the stock market having it rough, and Edmonton’s solution to homelessness. This week’s good news is that Fennec Foxes are going to kill us all, directly or otherwise, but is that really so wrong?

The Good News this week is the there are folks in the U.S. trying to fix their democratic system… by breaking it, kind of. Canadian Conservatives are grouchy about protests, as is the Liberal Party. Honestly, no one is happy in Canada at the moment. We’re sorry.

Show Notes

Bambi, Arthur, Hiraen, and Adair have come together to talk about the week’s good news. Adair presents the fabricated voice of a long-dead Egyptian priest, Hiraen tells about the ancient Roman whose brain was turned into glass during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and Bambi shares the episode of The Nature of Things featuring a nearly-perfectly preserved Borealopelta. After discussing this week’s satirical articles, Arthur brings to the table a state enacting policies that are long obsolete. Everyone is very critical of people who try to stigmatize sex and sexuality.
