    Brandon Ash-Mohammed believes in Carney Claus
    Jun 6 2025

    This week on Because News, we're joined by Brandon Ash-Mohammed, Jan Caruana and Courtney Gilmour. It was a busy news week as the premiers met in Saskatoon where Doug Ford made a musical entrance and Mark Carney was dubbed 'Santa Claus.' We also check in on the Oilers’ playoff run and ask, "why do the guys play Pink Pony Club in the locker room?" Plus, Anne of Green Gables gets a stage makeover, and The Price is Right Canada is here to remind us that no one knows what anything should cost anymore.

    Andrew Phung says 'Night Bro' to The Bay

    This week, Because News does a collective curtsy as King Charles graces Canada with a royal visit. But does anyone actually care? Host Gavin Crawford puts panellists Emma Hunter, Chris Sandiford, and Andrew Phung through the news wringer, covering everything from Trump’s golden dome fantasy to the great Hudson’s Bay mannequin sell-off (finally, some retail therapy we can afford). Plus, we unpack the softest trend sweeping TikTok: grown men telling each other "goodnight." Is it sweet, weird, or both?
