From Winnipeg to Wuhan, Canada is embroiled in an international spy situation, but why does no one seem to care anymore? Recent documents released from the investigation of scientist Dr. Xiangguo Qiu contain bombshells that may point back to the COVID lab leak theory. As the obituaries and puff pieces roll in, the Canadian media seems to have forgotten that Brian Mulroney was - in fact - divisive. Correcting the record on “Conservative Titan” Brian Mulroney. Clarification (March 18, 2024): While the Investigative Journalism Foundation’s Open By Default database includes roughly 20,000 records released by federal departments and agencies in response to access-to-information requests, The Globe and Mail’s Secret Canada project is broader in scope, encompassing summaries of more than 300,000 requests made to over 600 federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal institutions across the country.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson(Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guest: Jan Wong Further reading: Lies and scandal: How two rogue scientists at a high-security lab triggered a national security calamity - CBC News The big problem with the Winnipeg lab affair was obvious from the start: too much secrecy - CBC NewsDocuments reveal fired scientists shared information with China - The Decibel PodcastBrian Mulroney, 18th prime minister and Progressive Conservative titan, dead at 84 | Politics - Canadian PressGlobe editorial: Brian Mulroney, the last great prime minister - Globe and MailThe IJF launches ‘Open By Default,’ - Investigative Journalism FoundationChina ends 30-year tradition: premier's annual press conference - Reuters Sponsors: Calm, Douglas, Article If you value this podcast, Support us!

Dans sa nouvelle autobiograhie, la professeure en droit transféminine Florence Ashley, théorise l’academic smut ou smut therapy comme la thérapie par l'écriture érotique. Gender/Fucking: the Pleasures and Politics of Living in a Gendered Body met en lumière le bordel de l'existence humaine à travers le récit de Florence - ses expériences romantiques, sexuelles, sa transition et des vérités qui sont beaucoup plus grandes qu’ille qui s'étendent à la jeune communauté trans actuelle. Les nouvelles politiques d'identité de genre annoncées en Alberta mélangent le droit des enfants avec le droit des parents dans un contexte où les corps et esprits des personnes trans sont déjà sous contrôle social, familial, politique, médical et juridique, et leur sentiment le plus profond par rapport à leur identité, constamment délégitimisé.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Laetitia Dogbe (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), André Proulx (Coordonnateur à la production), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef) Coanimation : Florence AshleyPour en savoir plus :Centre Canadien De La Diversité Des Genres Et De La SexualitéFlorence Ashley (2022) Banning Transgender Conversion Practices: A Legal and Policy Analysis Ashley, F., 2018.

The Pikwakanagan First Nation seemed to be doing well - it has a good economy, high graduation rate, it has been revitalizing its culture, the books are tight. But things have gotten bad in the last five years. Pikwakanagan is not immune to the troubles infiltrating the towns surrounding it. Late last year, Chief Greg Sarazin declared a State of Emergency over Opioids in the small rural community, just 150 kilometers from Ottawa. When a crisis hits a city like Belleville it makes headlines, but First Nations are not getting attention, or all the help they need to fight addiction. They are relying, in many ways, on their own devices. There were at least five overdoses last year in a community with only 250 adults; that’s 1 in 50 people. Even more people must be using. But it's not just about those on reserve. When you count the cousins, the kids and the other family members living away, there have been dozens.  What happened, and what is the community doing to try and stem the crisis. Host: Karyn Pugliese Credits: Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer)Further reading: Pikwakanagan teen wins $50,000 prize for her community — Eganville LeaderOPP investigating death at Pikwakanagan — Eganville LeaderSaskatchewan First Nations sue Government of Canada over opioid epidemic — CTV NewsTreaty 6 Chiefs declare state of emergency over opioid deaths — APTNAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: Rotman, Squarespace, DouglasIf you value this podcast, support us!
