    The Painful Truth About IUDs

    Getting an IUD can be painful. Really painful. Last month, new regulations came out in the US about managing this pain. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that before anyone gets an IUD, patients should be counseled on pain management ahead of time. But what about Canada?

    What the Sh*tshow at Elle Canada Tells Us About the Future of Journalism

    Riley Yesno joins Emilie Nicolas to unpack the editorial sh*tshow at Elle Canada, as well as big changes at APTN. 


    To celebrate its 25th year as a national broadcaster, APTN is betting big on languages (18 of them to be precise) with the launch of the APTN languages channel. But can language preservation preserve the bottom line? 


    Then, how a list of groundbreaking Canadian women led to online backlash and a series of questionable editorial decisions at Elle Canada. Is Canadian media about to get a lot more boring?

    Qui va voter pour Kamala Harris?

    Depuis l’investiture de Kamala Harris à la candidature démocrate, le parti a le vent dans les voiles et devance le camp de Donald Trump de quelques points de pourcentage. Pour comprendre ce qui se joue en coulisse, Emilie reçoit Kara Sheppard-Jones, spécialiste de mobilisation politique et sociale. Américaine et Canadienne, Sheppard-Jones a œuvré pour plusieurs campagnes électorales, notamment aux États-Unis. Elle décrypte pour nous les enjeux qui sous-tendent la campagne de Kamala Harris et les divisions qui menacent le camp démocrate, avant d’analyser les stratégies de communication du parti Républicain. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie et Kara reviennent sur l’art de mobiliser, la professionnalisation grandissante de ce champ d’activité, et les différences culturelles entre l’activisme politique américain et québécois.


    Since the nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate, the party leads the race by a few percentage points. To better understand what is at play behind the scenes, Emilie speaks with Kara Sheppard-Jones, a Canadian-American political and social movement expert. Sheppard-Jones has worked for several electoral campaigns, including in the United States. She deciphers for us the stakes underlying Kamala Harris' campaign and the divisions that threaten the Democratic camp, before analyzing the Republican Party's communication strategies. In the second part of the show, Emilie and Kara look at the art of mobilizing, the growing professionalization of this field of work, and the cultural differences between American and Quebec political activism.

    Goodbye, Jonathan Goldsbie

    With Postmedia ending daily print editions of The Telegram — leaving Newfoundland and Labrador without a single daily paper — we wonder how to keep talking shit about the news when the news itself keeps on disappearing. 


    Plus, while National Post columnist Adam Zivo’s unlikely foray into international espionage makes for a great anecdote, there's good reason why journalists shouldn’t moonlight as spies.


    Karyn Pugliese joins for this very special farewell to Jonathan Goldsbie.

    Why Are Thousands of Gazans Still Waiting to Come to Canada?

    Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced in May that Canada’s temporary visa program for Gazans would be expanded, from 1000 to 5000. But eight months into the program, only 206 people have actually made it over to Canada  - and to do so, they had to find their own ways out of Gaza.


    Meanwhile, thousands of Gazans are still waiting to hear back on the status of their applications. 


    What is going on? And has Canada misled people hoping for a way out of a crisis?

    The Selling of Kamala Harris

    It’s all optimism at the Democratic National Convention, and Canadian headlines are reflecting the enthusiasm around Kamala Harris, but is all this hope just wishful thinking? TikToker Frank Domenic joins to assess the return of optimism to political discourse in the US and Canada. 


    Plus, Pierre Poilievre promptly removes a promo video after it’s dragged online. Why stock images are only part of the problem with Poilievre’s campy cowboy vision of Canada.

    Marineland Guilty Under Animal Cruelty Laws. Why is it Still Open?

    Part family-owned theme park and part roadside zoo, Marineland was once the kind of place where you could get kissed by an orca and feed corn pops to bears.


    But then it kept being that kind of place, well into this century, and the problems piled up: newspaper exposés, official investigations, a federal law designed to end the captivity of whales and dolphins once and for all. Yet the Niagara Falls mainstay would defiantly reopen year after year. 


    Until this year. Marineland still welcomes visitors, but, like a dead mall, nearly everything inside is now closed. Recently, we trekked there to learn what this limbo looks like for Canada’s last captive cetaceans.

    Fierté sous tension

    Cette année à Montréal, le Festival de la Fierté a pris la forme d’une véritable vignette de l’année 2024, marquée par des pluies diluviennes et des inondations dues aux changements climatiques, des manifestations pro-Palestine, des policiers en grand nombre, et des droits civils toujours plus menacés pour les personnes de la communauté LGBTQIA+. Emilie revient sur ces événements avec Gabrielle Drolet, journaliste indépendante et illustratrice, qui était présente lors de la marche du 11 août. En plus de livrer son témoignage, Gabrielle revient sur l’histoire et les valeurs de la Fierté, un moment caractérisé par la joie et la fête, mais aussi la lutte et l’inclusion. En deuxième partie d’émission, l’illustratrice partage ses réflexions sur son rôle de cartoonist pour le Globe & Mail où elle publie chaque semaine un dessin d’opinion, et son travail de journaliste culturelle.


    This year, the Montreal Pride Festival has been a veritable vignette of 2024, with torrential rains and floods due to climate change, pro-Palestine demonstrations, police in large numbers, and civil rights still at greater risk for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Emilie analyzes these events with Gabrielle Drolet, an independent journalist and illustrator, who was present during the August 11 parade. Gabrielle tells Emilie what she saw and looks back on the history and values ​​of Pride, characterized by joy and celebration, but also struggle and inclusion.
