The Current
Three stories to expand your worldview, delivered daily. Matt Galloway cuts through a sea of choice to bring you stories that transcend the news cycle. Conversations with big thinkers, household names, and people living the news. An antidote to algorithms that cater to what you already know — and a meeting place for diverse perspectives. In its 20 years, the Current has become a go-to place for stories that shape and entertain us. Released daily, Monday to Friday.

Barton is Boring and Ill Informed
Sept 14
Rosemary Barton is the mouth piece of the privileged and status quo. She misses important parts of the story repeatedly. She is very good at repeating mainstream assumptions and banalities with confidence, which is really not interesting. Her dislike and mis-understanding of unions is laughable. Oh boring Barton, don’t you know that Canadian citizens are comprised of working people who must fight for their right for safe work and living wages? That includes you and your fellow journalists who keep getting laid off by your dear corporations. I’d say good luck in the gig economy of your future but you’ll probably go to corporate PR.
