June 15, 2018 Canadians stand together in Trump trade war
Canada's trade war with the United States of America, our closest ally, reached a near breaking point this past week when staff members of President Donald Trump said, "There is a special place in hell for world leaders like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau". This new tension with the U.S. has many Canadians putting partisan politics aside in favour of patriotism.

June 08, 2018 Populism: Canada's new norm?
On Thursday, June 7th, Doug Ford was elected as the next premier of Ontario in what has been described as Canada's dirtiest political race in recent history. In many ways, it seemed a little too familiar to the populist politics we saw in the 2016 U.S presidential campaign. Is the Ontario Election an indicator that U.S. style politics could become the new norm in Canada?

June 01, 2018 This is Why: Welcome
Hey, I’m Niki Reitmayer, host of a brand new podcast called, “This Is Why.”
Each week we will go beyond the headlines. It’s a podcast for those who are interested in news but want the full picture.
This Is Why gives you context behind the stories people are talking about, or should be talking about. We want to feel the emotion that lies under the headline – the anger, the sadness, the joy – and get a true understanding of why it matters to you, to me, our friends, and our families. We want to arm you with details and a clearer picture so you can form your own opinions. After all, news is more than just facts and stats. News is a collection of stories that affect you, your friends, and your community.
We’re going to do this with help from some of the best journalists in the country…and a wicked curiosity. We’re not going to shy away from tough stories or controversial questions as we try to get to the root of what defines us as Canadians.
So here’s the deal: 20 minutes a week. And together we’ll explore the news in a way that actually makes sense.
The show is going to launch on Friday, June 8th. You can subscribe now to the This Is Why podcast on Apple Podcast, Google Play, or anywhere you get your favourite podcasts. Subscribe now, and I’ll talk to you on Friday.
