A time for flag waving and fireworks? Quiet contemplation? Or something else?
Jessica, George, and a cast of many speak of their conflicted and often angry feelings about Canada Day 2021, as the country struggles to come to terms with the discovery of unmarked graves at the sites of former Indian residential schools.
The launch of season 2 lands on the country's first-ever National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Episodes will drop weekly into November, then resume in 2022, as the cohosts and their guests tell the stories of Indigenous peoples and their allies.
Coming soon are interviews with professional skateboarder Joe Buffalo, who speaks of the transformative power of his sporting community; anthropology researcher and storyteller Lydia Toorenburgh, a two-spirit Cree-Métis woman from the University of Victoria who believes actions and dollars are needed to back up the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Comission; young Mi'kmaq hockey player Logan Prosper, who challenged the minor hockey establishment over on-ice racial slurs; Canadian punk rock pioneer Art Bergmann, CM, who used the platform of receiving his Order of Canada  to speak out for Indigenous peoples; Tracy Calogheros, the CEO of the Exploration Place Museum and Science Centre in Prince George, whose insitution and neighouring First Nation have become partners in truth and conciliation; and many others.
