Smithsonian Selfies, Big Balls in DC, and Canada Ghosts the U.S.

On this inaugural Canada’s Late Night Monologue, Brittlestar dives into a news cycle so bizarre it makes reality TV look like a documentary. The Smithsonian is getting a “patriotism makeover” (because nothing says history like removing the history part), 800 National Guard troops are patrolling DC during record-low crime rates, and a Canadian travel drought has the U.S. feeling like an ex we’ve finally blocked. Plus, ICE detains a mom and her six-year-old from New Zealand—because apparently that’s the real homeland security threat. It’s America, 2025: always innovating… just not necessarily in the direction you want.
