Are there any Canadian news and current events comedy options? (self.canadapolitics)

I watch a lot of late night shows and British current events shows (have I got news for you, the bugle podcast). Really wish there was something equivalent for Canada. I know there was “this hour has 22 minutes” and Rick Mercer but I don’t think they’re around any more.

Any other Canadian comedic current events options?

The Beaverton is pretty good. As far as I know, they only do articles, but maybe there's a podcast.

There used to be a podcast, and it was great! Unfortunately, the last episode they released was in 2018.

Rick Mercer was Canadian Gold.

22 minutes and air farce in the late 90s was a level of satire I fear we'll never see again. Truly a golden age of Canadian political satire.
