In for a penny...

In the early hours of August 2, 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, setting off a chain of events that would draw Canada into the first Gulf War. In this opening episode of Rocket War, we explore how Canada went from peacekeeping posture to active military engagement in the Persian Gulf. Featuring firsthand accounts from sailors, air force personnel, and military historians, we trace Canada’s early response to the crisis, the political calculations of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and the rapid deployment of Canadian naval and air assets under Operation Friction. From Halifax Harbour to the Strait of Hormuz, listeners hear what it was like to prepare for war, enforce the UN embargo, and confront the reality of a modern conflict unfolding on live television. Thirty-five years later, Rocket War revisits the decisions, risks, and human experiences that defined Canada’s role in the Gulf War—beginning with the moment everything changed.

Rocket War

In 1990–91, Canada joined the first UN–sanctioned war against a sovereign state since Korea. Rocket War is a four-part documentary series exploring Canada’s role in the Persian Gulf War as told through the voices of those who served. Focusing on Operation Friction, the series traces Canada’s contribution at sea, in the air, and on the ground—from Royal Canadian Navy ships enforcing UN sanctions in the Persian Gulf, to CF-18 fighter pilots flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, to a rapidly assembled Canadian field hospital treating coalition casualties and Iraqi prisoners of war under the threat of Scud missile attacks. Blending firsthand testimony with historical analysis, Rocket War examines how Canada adapted to modern, coalition warfare, and how this short, intense conflict reshaped the Canadian military in the post–Cold War world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

« Une condition honteuse pour le pays »

Dans cet épisode, nous examinons le rapport de Bryce de 1907 et nous entendrons d’autres interventions de Cindy Blackstock, Teresa Edwards, Paul Hackett, Erin Millions, Kaila Johnston et Anne Lindsay. Nous examinons les pratiques, les politiques et correspondances officielles révélant les actes délibérés et l’indifférence qui ont contribué au mauvais état de santé des Autochtones et à des conséquences fatales. Nous parlerons des personnes qui ont résisté – les lanceurs d’alerte : parents, communautés, bureaucrates et membres du clergé. Les experts interrogés mettent en lumière le fait que les documents d’archives ne révèlent qu’une partie de l’histoire, et que de nombreuses questions demeurent sans réponse. Bien que cette série porte sur le passé, elle soulève plusieurs problèmes qui sont encore d’actualité. Une mise en garde : cette série porte sur les pensionnats autochtones, le racisme en médecine, la ségrégation dans les soins de santé et les patients disparus. Si vous êtes un survivant des pensionnats autochtones ou un survivant intergénérationnel, vous pouvez obtenir du soutien au moyen de la ligne d’écoute téléphonique de Résolution des questions des pensionnats indiens au 1-866-925-4419. La Ligne d'écoute d’espoir offre aussi du soutien en santé mentale et en situation de crise au 1-855-242-3310. Crédits: Écrit/produit par Maia-Foster Sanchez Coproducteur : Ryan Barnett Voix additionnelles : Nahka Bertrand, Tracy Ann Leith, Catherine Verdon-Diamond et Philip-G Simard Nos conseillères pour la série sont Teresa Edwards, Kaila Johnston et Erin Millions. Dessin original de Caleb Ellison-Dysart Une production de Médias Knockabout | Financé par le gouvernement du Canada Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

COMING SOON: AMONG EQUALS

*COMING SOON* a new five-part series. Fifty years ago the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation (PNIAI) transformed the art world forever. As part of Indigenous activism happening across the Americas in the 1970s, the “Indian Group of 7” (as they were dubbed by the press at the time) asserted First Nations artistic expressions and self-determination in the face of forced assimilation policies. Their goals: encourage other First Nations artists to paint, create space in national and commercial galleries for First Nations art, and inspire youth. From Expo 67 to their groundbreaking exhibition at the Winnipeg Art Gallery and beyond, learn more about the lives and artistic practices of the PNIAI and its members, and the Group's on-going influence, today.
