What was the context of the RCMP's investigation in 1981?
I am Gavin Crawford, the host of Because News, Canada's funniest news quiz. Every week we make jokes out of the headlines with help from a panel of brilliant comedians, like Alice Moran.
Hi there, I'm a sweet little Alberta dirtbag with very gentle takes. They call me light, sweet, and crude.
Half your job is making jokes, but the other half is scoring points. What subjects do you net the most points in?
Uh, sports, but also space, because I went to space camp so much as a kid not to brag.
That's the exact amount of knowledge you need for this show. Stay vaguely informed while in good company.
With me.
