Hey there Canada, it's me, Gavin Crawford, host of the Because News Podcast, a weekly show where I quiz my good-humored friends on the latest headlines. Joining me this week, comedian Miguel Rivas, YouTuber Carly Thorne, and the improv goat Colin Mockery. I'll be asking, what time will the AI uprising be exactly? And if Trump wants Canada so bad, why don't the American hockey players? Also, what took so long to get Yacht Rock in the Merriam-Webster dictionary?

We're calling this episode Remembering Stephen Lewis. But 2005 is not 2000. In the interim, I've been emotionally torn asunder by the onslaught of AIDS, and it has profoundly changed my view of the world. My life is consumed by this plague. I can't deny it.
