    Nathan Fielder Is Lying to Us All

    Everyone is talking about (homegrown Canadian) Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary, You Can See Everything. The Verge’s Elizabeth Lopatto spent four months covering Holmes’ fraud trial, and she joins host Noor Azrieh to unpack what the film reveals, what it leaves unchallenged, and the difference between a compelling documentary and good journalism. Plus, China’s AI bubble loses air, and Canadian news publishers take the AI company behind Claude to court.

    Was the B.C. Election the Death of “Woke” Politics?

    A spectacular own goal? A rejection of progressive politics? Host Noor Azrieh is joined by political strategist Zain Velji to pick through the wreckage of Eby’s election gamble—and the competing media narratives about what it means. Plus, why “BC’s first Conservative government in nearly a century” deserves an asterisk, Alberta’s electoral map controversy, and the AI-generated Jagmeet Singh ads flooding X.

    First Nations, First Ministers, Second Chance?

    In 2005, Canada’s leaders agreed to a $5.1-billion plan to close the gap for Indigenous people. Three days later, the government fell, and the deal died with it. This week, they finally sat down again. Sam spends the day before with Jeff Copenace, chief of Onigaming First Nation. Twenty years ago, he was sitting right behind Paul Martin at Kelowna. This time, he couldn’t get in the room. Plus: meet our new managing editor, Harrison Lowman, and his pick for the craziest political story of the decade. In May, Caroline Elliott was the front-runner to lead the B.C. Conservatives. She lost by two points, would she have beat Eby? It’s our annual crowdfunding month!

And be sure to stay tuned for some big announcements over the next few weeks. ——— Over 20,000 kids went through Ontario's "training schools" system. But really they weren't so much schools as prisons for children ages 8-16. The first of what grew to nineteen of these institutions opened in 1925. They all shut down by 1984. Daniel Brown was one of the last boys to be declared a ward of the Juvenile Delinquents Act and to serve time in the training schools system and today we tell his story. NB Parts of this story originally appeared in a Toronto Life story about Daniel.

    Bradford or Chow? Toronto Chooses its Next Impotent Mayor

    There’s no Mamdani in Toronto’s mayoral race. incumbent Mayor Olivia Chow has lost her early lead on Brad Bradford, with polls suggesting they are deadlocked heading into Monday’s election. As progressives scramble to respond to Bradford’s steady rise in the polling, buoyed by a right-leaning law and order platform, some critics wonder if Chow misjudged the city’s mood. Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to debate which underwhelming candidate will come out on top.

    What Started the Fire at CFB Wainwright?

    A deadly fire killed 4 soldiers at a military base in Alberta on Saturday, but as the news was breaking, information was hard to come by. Even days afterward, basic details remain unknown. The Canadian Military is promising to release the details of its investigation to the public, but how long will it take for Canadians to learn what happened at CFB Wainwright? Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to discuss the culture of secrecy and lack of disclosure in Canadian institutions, and why it makes it very difficult to be a journalist. Plus, former Progress Report journalist Duncan Kinney vandalizes a statue and then reports on it.
