    Fighting Nonsense and Nazis (with Rachel Gilmore, Mo Amir and Jen St. Denis)

    Online radicalization is, unfortunately, a growing beat in the media world. Luckily, there are some seriously skilled reporters trying to make sense of a world increasingly filled with misinformation. In May 2026, we gathered a few of those journalists on stage for a special Tyee panel discussion called Reality Check: LIVE. On this special episode of The Tyee Podcast, we have that panel discussion for your listening enjoyment, recorded live in front of a wonderful crowd at Simon Fraser University. Award-winning investigative journalist Rachel Gilmore joins moderator Harrison Mooney, Tyee senior editor Jen St. Denis, and Tyee contributor Mo Amir (host of the podcast and talk show This is Vancolour) to discuss both-sides versus all-sides journalism, how to avoid the Trump conundrum, and whether online extremists can ever be de-radicalized.  You can watch the full event — including a keynote address by Rachel Gilmore on her experiences reporting on white nationalists, plus introductory remarks from Harrison Mooney — on The Tyee’s YouTube page.

    We Love Big Trees. Why Let Them Die? (with J.B. MacKinnon)

MacKinnon has reported for The Tyee for two decades, and in these pages co-authored a series called “The 100-Mile Diet.”  This week, he explains how beloved trees end up on the chopping block — and what you can do about it.

    Surviving the Next Heat Dome (with Michelle Gamage)

    Anyone lucky enough to survive 2021’s heat dome knows the anxiety and stress that now accompany every summer on the West Coast. But Tyee health reporter Michelle Gamage says that slowly, and hopefully surely, a public shift is happening. We’re starting to recognize the extreme danger that heat is, and that means we’re starting to better prepare for it. From icy groin towels to how local and federal governments need to step up, Michelle lets us know what we can do to keep ourselves and our neighbours cool for many summers to come.

    How Do We Move Forward on DRIPA? (with Adam Olsen)

    Earlier this spring Premier David Eby ignited a firestorm when he tried to dismantle the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) — first by saying he would amend it, then suspend it, then backing off the idea completely when his own party revolted. Now the province is scrambling over the summer to figure out a new path forward.  According to Adam Olsen, this moment was inevitable.  The former BC Green Party MLA was there when DRIPA was passed unanimously in 2019. He was in those meetings Eby held this past spring with Indigenous leaders. And he explains on today’s show how this mess is the consequence of more than a century of ignoring treaty rights. And how there may be a way to ease our political hangover. The Tyee is a non-profit, reader- (and now listener-!) funded journalism organization made possible thanks to the support of our Tyee Builders. We're currently in the midst of a drive to sign up 650 new recurring members by June 15. Head over to support.thetyee.ca to sign up so we can keep publishing journalism in the public interest.
