Are We Headed Towards a Population Collapse?

China's population is now shrinking. India's could follow within a generation. South Korea has the world's lowest birth rate. Italy has the fastest shrinking population in Europe and Canada's birth rate dropped from 1.6 children per woman to 1.26 in less than a decade. Almost everywhere you look, fertility rates are dropping. What does a world look like with a shrinking population? Can you grow an economy with fewer and fewer people? Can governments do anything to arrest the declining rates and incentivize their population to have more kids? And could those solutions become darker and darker and imperil women's rights? Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson, authors of Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline, discuss the looming threat of population collapse.

The Moral Case Against Having Kids

Should you have kids? It's a question most of us will ask ourselves at some point in our lives. Antinatalists have an easy and categories answer for you, regardless of your life circumstance: don't. In fact, it is immoral, they claim, to bring new life into this world. Lawrence Anton, editor of the Antinatalist Handbook, and Amanda Sukenick, host of The Exploring Antinatalism Podcast, join the program to make the case against having kids.

Has Canada Overlooked Mexico as an Ally?

Canada-Mexico relations hit a rough patch earlier this year following the Canadian ambassador's criticism of Mexico's judicial reforms. Hopes for a rapprochement were raised following the election of Mexico's first female president Claudia Sheinbaum. Those hopes were dashed, however, when Donald Trump announced his intention to impose a 25% tariff on all products coming from Mexico and Canada, leading to strong reactions in both countries. Will Trump's threat strain 85 years of Canadian-Mexican relations? Host Steve Paikin asks: In Mexico City: José Luis Granados Ceja, Journalist and co-host of the Soberanía Mexican Politics podcast; Solange Márquez Espinoza, Geopolitical analyst and co-author of "Mexico & Canada: Two Nations in a North American Partnership" Laura MacDonald, the Chancellor's Professor of Political Science at Carleton University.

Does Sibling Rivalry Ever End?

One of the longest relationships many Canadians will have isn't with friends, partners nor parents. Siblings are, generally, one of the lifelong companions you don't get to choose and, sometimes, conflict creeps in. Sibling rivalry is a tale as old as time, from biblical stories to more contemporary examples of sporting excellence. Why do sibling rivalries begin and will they ever really abate? We ask experts in various fields to discuss this and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Margaret Atwood: Democracy Under Her Eye

What do artists see that others miss? Canadian writer Margaret Atwood's decades of literary exploration have shown her to be an incisive observer of people and politics. She sits down with Steve Paikin in a live event on the campus of the University of Toronto to talk democracy, authoritarianism and how fact can indeed be stranger than fiction. As a strong voice on several of the pillars of democratic life, the conversation touches on core values such as freedom of speech, citizenship, where democracy can backslide, and how to work for a better democratic future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
