  • Real education for Canadians

    Thank you Pam for creating this podcast! Every episode is packed full of knowledge and education. I came to the podcast wanting to learn more about indigenous nations and politics, and you delivered in such a huge way. What I wasn’t expecting was to also learn so much about Canada itself (I have learned mire about Canada from this podcast than all others combined) and how much of the violence and colonialism of “Canadian History” continues today.

    I thought I already had a critical eye for thin... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cindy Blackstock on CHRT Letter Decision
Q: Can you give us a little context on where this decision comes from and what a letter decision means?
The decision traces back to a 2016 finding of discrimination against First Nations children in reserve and Yukon due to underfunding and misallocation of child and family services; a letter decision outlines the tribunal's conclusions and sets the framework for how to interpret and implement those conclusions going forward.
January Rogers on Art, Writing & Producing
Q: What is your take on AI?
January expresses concern about the relationship between AI and cultural appropriation, emphasizing the need to address how AI interacts with Indigenous narratives.
January Rogers on Art, Writing & Producing
Q: What's it like to be a writer in residence?
Rogers explains the benefits of a writer in residence, including steady income and the opportunity to complete personal projects.
January Rogers on Art, Writing & Producing
Q: What has your journey been like?
Rogers talks about how ignoring outside negativity helped her pursue her passions from a young age and how important it is to remember that.
Leah Gazan on Human Rights and Advocacy
Q: So, Leah, let's just pretend people are listening. And they want to know the answer to this question too. Like, well, yeah, isn't that an attack on free speech?
No, it's not. What my bill proposes to do is amend Section 319 of the Criminal Code, which already condemns Holocaust denialism.
