Le modèle familial traditionnel est en pleine évolution. Comment l'adoption internationale s’inscrit-elle dans les conversations actuelles autour de la parentalité ? Emilie invite Amandine Gay pour discuter de son travail en tant que cinéaste, autrice et militante qui lutte pour les personnes adoptées et, plus précisément, pour leur prise de parole. Emilie et Amandine réfléchissent à la manière dont le racisme est abordé (ou effacé!) en France. Peut-on mieux comprendre la société québécoise en déchiffrant la politique française ?

The traditional family model is in the midst of evolution. How does international adoption fit into current conversations surrounding parenthood? Emilie invites Amandine Gay to discuss her work as a filmmaker, author, and activist fighting for adoptees and, more specifically, for their voices. Emilie and Amandine reflect on how racism is addressed (or how it is erased!) in France. Can we better understand Quebec society by examining French politics?

With Canadians in the North and West fleeing their homes to escape the encroaching infernos, wouldn’t it be great if there were places online they could congregate to share news? 

Ollie Williams of Yellowknife’s Cabin Radio joins Jonathan to examine how the wildfire evacuations in the Northwest Territories have offered a (surprisingly encouraging!) glimpse into our post-social-media future.

Also: How many CRTC commissioners does it take to reject an application for a broadcast license? They won’t say!

After months of national coverage, we still don't really know.

Today we're going to hear from a senior journalist, about his skepticism regarding Foreign Interference. We're going to hear an editorial, an opinion - but a reported opinion and an informed one. Bruce Livesey knows about which he speaks - he knows about the specific newsrooms of which he speaks, because he used to work for both of them. He was an investigative reporter for both of the news organizations that have been reporting leaked CSIS documents - The Globe and Mail and Global News.

Alors que le mouvement #MoiAussi battait son plein en 2017, le gouvernement du Québec adoptait une loi-cadre qui vise à prévenir et combattre les violences sexuelles dans les cégeps et les universités. Emilie invite Léa Clermont-Dion pour discuter de l’impact de cette loi-cadre, ainsi que des efforts militants et politiques pour mettre en place une telle loi dans les institutions préscolaire, primaire et secondaire. Auteure et chercheure universitaire, Léa explore également les questions féministes par le biais du cinéma. Emilie et Léa abordent le sujet difficile de la cyberviolence en discutant du film documentaire co-réalisé par Léa, Je vous salue salope : La misogynie au temps du numérique. 

CONTENT WARNING: In this episode, the co-hosts discuss sexual violence and gender-based violence, including violence involving minors. If you are seeking support, the following link will direct you to resources across Canada: https://canadianwomen.org/support-services/ 

While the #MeToo movement was in full swing in 2017, the Quebec government adopted a framework law aimed at preventing and combating sexual violence in CEGEPs and universities. Emilie invites Léa Clermont-Dion to discuss the impact of this framework law, as well as the activist and political efforts to implement such a law in preschools, elementary schools, and high schools. An author and academic researcher, Léa also explores feminist issues through filmmaking. Emilie and Léa tackle the difficult subject of cyber-violence by discussing the documentary film co-directed by Léa, Backlash: Misogyny in the Digital Age.

In Cuba wide public access to the internet is only a few years old. The press is still severely restricted by the government. But there is something of a small podcast boom taking shape in the country.

So in a country where the press is under constant threat of intimidation, interrogation, and being jailed, how do you make a podcast that can challenge the government? 

Today we talk to Cuban podcaster Camilo Condis.

With Meta making good on its threat to expunge news from Facebook and Instagram, Canada’s publishers and broadcasters pin their hopes on the Competition Bureau to set things right. (We’re doomed?)

And when the Liberals promised to plant 2 billion trees, they probably weren’t betting that anyone would actually try to keep count.
