In this episode of Sweater Weather, we kick things off with jokes about Mark Carney's bestselling book and Mike Myers flaunting a Canadian Tire shirt on SNL, exploring what a truly "made in Canada" store might stock. But the heart of this episode is our revisiting This Hour Has 22 Minutes, the Canadian sketch comedy mainstay that's been running on the CBC since 1993. We reminisce about its edgy allure in our teen years, when it felt like must-see TV. Naomi loved Mary Walsh's fearless Marg Delahunty, who ambushed politicians with Xena-inspired flair. Then we chat about the current cast's antics—especially Mark Critch's Trump and Chris Wilson's Pierre Poilievre impressions. We consider This Hour's liberal tilt, and we muse on how political comedy can make leaders seem like good sports, for better or worse.  Sweater Weather podcast (Video): https://www.youtube.com/@aarongiovannone Sweater Weather podcast (Audio): https://pod.link/1547081850   Naomi's website: https://www.naomiklewis.com/ Naomi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/na.oh.mee Naomi on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/naomiklewis   Aaron's website: https://www.aarongiovannone.com Aaron on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaron.giovannone Aaron on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@aarongiovannone Aaron on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronGiovannoneAuthor/ Aaron on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aarongiovannone Aaron on X: https://x.com/SincerityCity
