Scam phone calls: fraud, technology and other hang ups

Guest: Christine Dobby, business reporter Scam calls are an annoying and growing problem that cost Canadians $57 million in losses last year. With a technological arms race between con artists, phone companies and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), there is no clear path to stop calls. Some will always get through, making awareness one of the best tools to make sure you don't get taken. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.

Shanaplan in shambles

Guest: Legendary sports broadcaster Dave Hodge, formerly of TSN and Hockey Night in Canada When Brendan Shanahan took over the helm of the Maple Leafs in 2014, he vowed not to repeat the sins of various predecessors accused of rushing the team-building process. Shanahan insisted he would exercise patience. But after eight post-season runs in which the Maple Leafs have only once advanced beyond the opening round, Shanahan's refusal to give up on the team's core stars is accompanied by the reek of stubborn incompetence. Here Arthur, Feschuk and Hodge try to make sense of Shanahan's approach while pointing out the glaring blind spots that have left the Maple Leafs a long way away from interrupting the longest Stanley Cup drought in the history of the NHL, 57 years and counting. PLUS: Arthur, Feschuk and Hodge discuss the highs and lows of the Shanaplan era.

The keeper of the Stanley Cup

A few days from now, Burlington's Phil Pritchard will do what he's done for years and carry the Stanley Cup to centre ice to present to the new National Hockey League champion. But where did this tradition come from? What's the deal with the white gloves? And did he really spend time in a Finnish sauna with a Hall of Famer and the trophy?

'If I can finish it, I will': the inside story of Terry Fox's run

Guest: Bill Vigars, author of "Terry & Me" It was 43 years ago when Terry Fox dipped his leg in the Atlantic Ocean and embarked on a run across the country to raise money for cancer research. He ran 5,373 kilometres in 143 days before his cancer would return and end his run in Thunder Bay, Ont. Fox's dream of raising $1 for every Canadian would be realized, though. Canadians and others around the world run annually in his place and have raised over $850 million dollars for critical research. Bill Vigars, one of the people closest to Fox, is the author of the new book "Terry & Me" and joins "This Matters" to share more about the man behind the Marathon of Hope.

Silicon Valley Bank collapsed. What are the Canadian implications?

Guest: Chay Ornthanalai, associate professor at the Rotman School of Management Silicon Valley Bank was the 16th largest bank in the United States yet, in less than two days, it collapsed and marked the single largest American banking failure since the financial crisis of 2008. Ripple effects from SVB's collapse continue to hit similar institutions, have reached Credit Suisse Group (itself moving to sell) and ignited a political blame game. Chay Ornthanalai, an associate professor at the Rotman School of Management, joins "This Matters" to explain what went wrong and explore why it is unlikely for such failures to happen in Canada. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley and Paulo Marques.

Living with long COVID

It's been five years since the pandemic hit. Most of us have long since moved on and left it in the rearview mirror. But what about those who can't because they're suffering from what's called long COVID; symptoms and effects that last long after the initial virus passes?

Introducing the podcast, Arachnid: Hunting the Web's Darkest Secrets

This Matters is pleased to share a new podcast from the Toronto Star, TVO Podcasts, the Investigative Journalism Bureau and Piz Gloria Productions, Arachnid: Hunting the Web's Darkest Secrets. What if the worst thing that ever happened to you plays out countless times on anonymous computer screens all over the world? Every day, tens of millions of images of child sexual abuse circulate on global online platforms. The proliferation of these images is getting worse as AI technology and deep fakes create an ever-expanding epidemic of online child sex exploitation. The children depicted in those criminal images are real. Many are now adults held hostage by these disturbing images despite available technology like Canada's Project Arachnid, which detects these images and sends out removal notices. Platforms often resist action, citing privacy laws. But in response, survivors and a group of motivated supporters are banding together across the globe to protect kids. Confronting their own trauma, they are speaking out, advocating for change internationally, and demanding stronger laws that hold tech giants to account. This six-part podcast series follows survivors' long-shot fight against the most powerful companies in the world to end a massive, global trade in child sex abuse imagery. Find it wherever you listen to podcasts.
