À propos de ce contenu audio
It's a fascinating time to be Canadian. This is a show that breaks all that wide open. Dangers. Opportunities. The stories that make this country what it is. And what it isn't. Longtime journalist and podcast host Jordan Heath-Rawlings (Elbows Up, The Big Story, The Gravy Train) returns to host critical Canadian Conversations with leading experts and storytellers. These are discussions—about who we are, how we got here, and where we're going—designed to offer more than soundbites and headlines. They'll introduce you to places, people and policies you might not have otherwise met, or perhaps not considered to be worth your attention. But they are. Politique et gouvernement Sciences sociales

  • Your feedback: Privatized airports, expensive referendums and more
    Oct 29 2026

    It's been too long, but this week the whole crew comes together to be called out (or praised!) by our listeners.

    Will Canada's privatized airports become another example of enshittification? Was $100 million worth it to put down the Alberta separatists? How many referendums are enough, exactly? This week it's all about your feedback, our responses, and Jordan's apparently wrong opinions!

    Feedback from listeners is so, so welcome. If you have something to say, email us: hello.cancon@gmail.com.

  • With the PQ in charge, what comes next in Quebec?
    Oct 22 2026

    Unlike their Western brethren, Quebec separatists are good at this. They've been at it a long time. They are organized, patient and understand how to get elected. And they just did.

    With the Parti Quebecois winning a minority government, another referendum is at the very least back on the table, even if it isn't likely anytime soon. But there's a lot more going on in the province than a potential vote years down the line. Politics in Quebec is largely ignored by English Canada unless separation is a possibility. It shouldn't be.

    With the help of independent journalist Nora Loreto, of Sandy and Nora Talk Politics, we're here to help with that today.

  • The case of the Canadian Olympic snowboarder turned alleged drug kingpin
    Oct 15 2026

    There's no way to sugarcoat the story of Ryan Wedding. Once an aspiring snowboarder from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Wedding qualified for the 2002 Olympics as a member of the Canadian team. He didn't medal. Two decades later, he was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, being compared to the likes of El Chapo and Pablo Escobar by American officials.

    After years on the run, Wedding was apprehended in January of this year in Mexico City, and he'll soon head to trial facing up to 19 felonies for his role in allegedly importing nearly 60 tons of cocaine into the US and Canada, working with the Mexican Sinaloa cartel.

    How did Wedding end up here? Perhaps, as a famous writer once put it, "gradually, then suddenly". But he's well on his way to becoming one of Canada's most infamous criminals, and a new podcast series explores how an athlete from Northern Ontario found himself among the most wanted fugitives in the world.

    Michelle Shephard, Canadian journalist, documentarian and the host of the CBC/Toronto Star podcast, The Most Wanted Olympian, alongside Toronto Star journalist Calvi Leon, walks us through what we know about Wedding's journey and what we're still waiting to find out...
