Licensing Quebec's karaoke singers, political candies and we get a national bird

Opera singer Measha Brueggergosman, ex-lexicographer Tom Howell, and comedian Kris Siddiqi take on this week's new quiz.

Police cracked down on bar owners in Gatineau, Quebec, because they don't have a special license to karaoke. In honour of this news, opera star Measha Brueggergosman sings a special round of Quebecois-raoke. Spoiler alert: She does not disappoint.

Donald Trump Jr. is upsetting a lot of people with his latest political tweet. Guess what the tweet is about based on Gavin's fake movie trailer.
