A political term limits debate usually stops at the slogan, but Andrew Caddell has covered Parliament Hill long enough to push past it and ask who really benefits.

He names his one spot for a first-time visitor in Kamouraska, Montreal, and Ottawa, then turns to Mark Carney's undiplomatic honesty on a recent trip to Saudi Arabia and why Caddell reads it as strategy, not a slip.

The sharpest turn comes when Caddell explains what happens to power in Ottawa once experienced politicians are forced out: it doesn't go to voters, it moves to the party and the people who never leave.

NEW - Would Fewer Years in Office Make Politicians Worse?

The hometown road trip game only has one rule: pick a single spot to show a first-time visitor, no backup answer allowed. The hosts turn it into a cross-country dare, comparing what actually represents Calgary, Merrickville, and Toronto when there's no room to hedge.

Calgary lands on a tiny burger joint with a two-hour line, Merrickville splits the vote between an apothecary and a glassblowing brewery, and Toronto weighs the ROM against a full afternoon in the distillery district. Then Dawson City crashes the conversation with a cocktail that involves a dehydrated human toe, an official recipe, and a two-thousand-five-hundred-dollar fine for anyone who swallows it. Texted-in answers add Mount Albert's twisted flame wings at the Twisted Fork, Vancouver's Gastown Steam Clock, and Old Montreal's cobblestones to the map.

Pick One Spot: The Hometown Game Sweeping the Show

Some stories you didn't need to know today start with a parking ticket and end up somewhere nobody expects. A Toronto driver who knew she'd stopped at the sign went looking for proof instead of just paying the fine, and found police body cam footage that backed her up.

From there it's a jump to UK politics, where a resignation, a special election, and a satirical candidate dressed like Darth Vader with a garbage can on his head somehow all belong in the same sentence. The segment closes on a nine-hundred-million-euro medieval embroidery making a heavily guarded overnight trip from France to England, handled with more care than most people give their actual belongings.

Inside Copy: Trash Can Candidates

Weekend streaming picks from Steve Stebbing start with a question he can't shake: why remake Moana shot for shot with the same lead singing the same songs, only a decade later and with worse reviews.

He counters with two picks worth the watch, the gory consistency of Evil Dead Burn and a spoof comedy called Gail Daughtery and the Celebrity Sex Pass that its own writers were warned not to make. On the streaming side, Silo season three arrives on Apple TV Plus carrying two seasons of mystery, Dark Side of the Ring turns its cameras on the real story behind TNA wrestling, and a Little House on the Prairie reboot lands on Netflix with almost no promotion at all.
