Everyone’s talking about the documentary You Can See Everything, with some calling it the craziest film they’ve ever seen. So what makes it so wild, and why is it blowing up? Movie, TV and pop culture critic Craig Silliphant joins us to break it down.

Tariffs, trade barriers and project delays are putting pressure on Saskatchewan businesses. After a trip to Ottawa, Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce CEO Prabha Ramaswamy joins us to share what was accomplished — and what needs to happen next.

The CFB Wainwright fire has left dozens injured, with many facing life-threatening burns and a long road to recovery. Dr. Marc Jeschke, director of the burn program at Hamilton Health Sciences Centre, joins us to explain the fight to save these patients and whether Canada is prepared for a tragedy of this scale.

France is experiencing some of its worst civil unrest in years. SO much so that it's making international headlines. Student-led protests have expanded into widespread demonstrations over the cost of living and frustration with the government. Paul Waldie, Europe Correspondent for The Globe and Mail, joins Evan to explain what's driving the unrest, why it's turned violent and what it means for France ahead of next spring's presidential election.

Alberta’s referendum is over, but the political fallout may just be beginning. Shannon Proudfoot, Ottawa bureau feature writer for The Globe and Mail, joins us to break down what happens next for Alberta, Ottawa and the future of Canadian unity.

Fewer wildfires, hundreds of thousands of hectares burned, and another challenging spring for flooding — Saskatchewan’s 2026 emergency season had its share of challenges. Marlo Pritchard, president of the SPSA and fire commissioner, joins us to break down what went well, what we can learn and how we can better prepare for next year.

As Saskatchewan announces more and bigger AI data centres, should communities have to choose between welcoming development and opposing it? Dr. Jake Okechukwu Effoduh, Assistant Professor of Law at Toronto Metropolitan University, joins Evan to discuss his recent article arguing that it doesn't need to be simply "to data centre or not to data centre". There is a third option where these centres benefit the communities that house them.
