« 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.

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. Hosted by Soleil Launière Produced by Ryan Barnett, Maia-Foster Sanchez and Nahka Bertrand Artwork by Caleb Ellison-Dysart A Knockabout Media Production | Funded by the Government of Canada Hosted on Acast.

John Candy: The Argonaut Twist

In the late ’80s, John Candy's hit a rough patch with a string of underwhelming films—Hot to Trot, Speed Zone, and Who’s Harry Crumb. But a creative reunion with John Hughes soon put him back on track, leading to some of the most memorable roles of his career. In this episode, we chart Candy’s quiet resurgence and surprising pivot into sports ownership, as he becomes a co-owner of the Toronto Argonauts and proves there’s always more than one way to steal the show. John Candy: The Lou Gehrig of Comedy is a series that honours the timeless humour and heartfelt performances of John Candy, star of hits like Splash, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and Home Alone.

The Front’s Favourite Gal

What if I told you the roots of Canadian drag weren’t in a nightclub, but in the mud and mayhem of the Western Front during the First World War? In this episode of Lavender Ranks, hosts Em and Karbon introduce you to Ross Hamilton, adored by audiences as “Marjorie” and remembered today as one of Canada’s earliest drag performers. Under the guise of “boosting morale,” the military somehow became the perfect stage for queer aesthetics, performance, and desire to emerge in plain sight. Today, Em and Karbon are spilling the tea on wartime concerts, the ingenuity in creating glamour at the front, and the blurry line between performance and identity during the First World War. And yes, in this episode, you’ll even hear from Ross Hamilton himself. Download our Discussion Questions. Lavender Ranks explores queer life during the First World War and contains frank discussions of war, discrimination, repression, sexuality, and historical violence. Listener discretion is advised. Written by Emily Gioskos Hosts Emily Gioskos & Karbon Executive Producer Ryan Barnett Edited by Sonia Gemmiti Series consultant Sarah Worthman Illustration by Henry Fong Additional Research Dr. Sarafina Pagnotta Featuring original interviews with Sarah Worthman, Mitchell LaFramboise, Cameron Telch, Andrea McKenzie, and Martine Roy. An original production of Knockabout Media This podcast was made possible thanks to funding from Veterans Affairs Canada’s Commemorative Partnership Program. Hosted on Acast.
