Yesterday Trudeau announced that he would prorogue parliament and resign as Prime Minister. Now, the Liberal Party is embarking on a journey to replace him. He talked about “internal battles” and pressure from Donald Trump, and decided this was the best option. But is it too little too late? Who could possibly have hair good enough to replace him? Logic reporter Laura Osman and Trudeau’s former head of economic policy Tyler Meredith join Sam to discuss what this means for Canada.

We don't like to think about sewage. And when it's all working fine, we don't have to. But if we don't get comfortable talking about shit, we could soon be headed for serious trouble if our infrastructure collapses. And given that recent reports say 30 percent of Canadian water and wastewater infrastructure has either reached or passed the end of its lifespan, that failure feels more like a when than an if.  Reporter Leora Shertzer digs into he problems of one small Ontario town where they’ve spent decades trying to sort their shit out. But solving it will mean untangling a mess of political, environmental, engineering, and frankly, personal interests. Because shit is complicated.

We’re bringing you a special episode of a show we love! From The Paul Wells Show, two acclaimed historians talk about the state of democracy and freedom in the world today. In her latest book, Autocracy Inc., Anne Applebaum writes about a group of dictators who share a bond that’s not based on ideology, but on their ability to help each other gain wealth, power and impunity.  Yale historian Timothy Synder, author of the new book On Freedom, argues that freedom is more than the absence of oppression. He shares his vision for freedom in the wake of a recent trip to Ukraine.  The Paul Wells Show is produced by Antica Productions.

Since the blockbuster success of his musical “Hamilton,” Lin-Manuel Miranda has been busy: acting, directing, and composing for Disney projects, including the upcoming movie “Mufasa: The Lion King.”  But his new project is more personal, and a throwback in the best sense. Working with the playwright Eisa Davis, he has reimagined a movie from his childhood as a concept album.  “The Warriors” is a cult classic released in 1979. “The Warriors are a gang from Coney Island, and they have to fight their way from the Bronx all the way back down to Coney Island in the course of the film,” Miranda tells David Remnick. The film reads as a nineteen-seventies period piece, but Miranda and Davis find a classical dimension to it. “The tale is an old tale. Sol Yurick, who wrote the novel the movie is based on, based it on the Anabasis, which is a soldier’s account of trying to get back home from war” in ancient Greece. “It’s this mythic story. . . . It doesn’t get more clear than that as a plotline.” To tell that story in song and rap, Miranda brought together a cast of legends including Lauryn Hill, Nas, Marc Anthony, members of the Wu-Tang Clan, and more. If releasing a concept album, meant to be listened to straight through, seems like a stretch for 2024 audiences, Miranda is unfazed.  “What’s interesting about “Hamilton” is that no one I talked to thought it was a good idea when I was writing it.  But I could see it. And it was the idea that wouldn’t leave me alone.” Follow New Yorker Radio Hour Here - https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-new-yorker-radio-hour/with-the-warriors-lin-manuel-miranda-takes-on-another-new-york-story Hosted on Acast.

Starting January 1st, the criminal interest rate on predatory lending will be lowered, meaning it should be safer to take out payday and installment loans. But these businesses have a tendency to skirt the law, adding unexpected fees and insurance rates to keep borrowers in the hole. Sam welcomes Donna Borden to the show - an organizer with ACORN. She’s been a victim to these loans, and is now fighting against them. Will the crackdown work and really help lower people’s payments? How can we make short term loans a real option for people struggling, without the sky-high payments?

Yes, Canada bombed the Aurora Borealis.  But can you actually scatter that northernmost light with explosives? Why would you even try? And explosive boom aside, can you, on a cold clear quiet night, hear the northern lights? What is the sound of the Aurora Borealis?

And that’s about as newsy and informational as things are gonna get.  Because as you will hear, today’s episode sounds a little bit different.

This is part two of our mini series: Black Market Babies (part one, here). It’s a family story that lay hidden for decades. Then the tech was born, the DNA came to light, and after the shock, the investigation began. An underworld tale of the international baby smuggling ring that bought and sold hundreds of newborns out of Montreal in the 1950s. A family story told by the families. One reporter whose own mother was bought and sold. And another whose own DNA tied her to the one of the alleged masterminds behind the black market baby trade.

People on the left call her a police informant, a self-hating Palestinian, a racist, a Zionist, a TERF, and a fascist. But she also has haters on the right, labelling her a leftist, Antifa, and a World Economic Forum diva.  She’s a lawyer by trade. But describes herself online as a journalist, a satirist, a media personality and a protest watcher. That last title is the one that brings the most trouble. Anti-vax protests, freedom convoy protests, anti-trans protests, Israel/Palestine protests, over the last few years she’s captured and posted an archive of protest footage few mainstream outlets have either the time or resources to rival. Along the way she’s managed to irk the entire political spectrum. She's been criticized by the Canadian Association of Journalists, the Canadian Anti Hate Network, and the Law Society of Ontario for allegedly harassing behaviour. But how? Why?

Le Collège québécois des médecins de famille s’est récemment doté d’une nouvelle présidente, la docteure Geneviève Bois. La carrière foisonnante de cette praticienne engagée touche à de nombreux enjeux qui résonnent profondément avec les défis que le système de santé public peine à relever: médecine à deux (voire trois) vitesses, déterminants sociaux de la santé, médecine en milieu éloigné, et santé reproductive des femmes. Emilie Nicolas reçoit donc la docteure Geneviève Bois, non pas en tant que présidente du Collège des médecins de famille, mais en tant que soignante. Depuis ses études de médecine jusqu’à sa pratique à Eeyou Istchee et dans des centres de santé des femmes au sud du Québec, la docteure Bois revient sur ses engagements et sa vision de la médecine, une science avant tout humaine.  The Collège québécois des médecins de famille recently appointed a new president, Dr. Geneviève Bois. The prolific career of this committed practitioner touches on many issues that deeply resonate with challenges the public health system is struggling to meet: two- (or even three-)tier medicine, social determinants of health, medicine in remote areas, and women’s reproductive health. Emilie Nicolas talks health with Dr. Bois, not in her role as president of the Collège des médecins de famille, but as a physician. From her medical studies to her practice in Eeyou Istchee and in women’s health centres in southern Quebec, Dr. Bois reflects on her commitments and her vision of medicine, a science that is above all a human science.

Last Monday, U.S. president-elect Donald Trump posted to his beloved Truth Social with a hefty threat. If Canada and Mexico don't get the border in order, or the drugs in check, he’ll slap a 25 per cent tariff on all goods. These tariffs could crash several major U.S. industries and ruin Canada’s economy. But this isn’t the first time Trump’s threatened Canada. Host Noor Azrieh sits down with Vipal Monga to ask, did Canadian politicians learn anything from dealing with Trump the first time around, or are they stumbling into Trump 2.0 just as clueless? And, the latest on a BC lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributors and alleged interference in the Conservative leadership race that got Conservative Leader Pierre Polievre elected.
