From February 11, 2022: Over the past few weeks, Canada has been living through its own insurrectionary moment, as a series of trucker convoys have used tractor trailer trucks to occupy much of downtown Ottawa, launch protests in other major Canadian cities, and block points of entry along the country's southern border with the United States. While nominally objecting to Canadian vaccination mandates, particularly as applied to truckers, the convoy movement has at times made even more ambitious demands, including the dissolution of the Trudeau government, and it has close ties to far right-wing nationalists and ethno-nationalist organizations, both in Canada and the United States. While the convoy movement began in Canada, there are signs that is beginning to spread, with similar efforts appearing in Australia and New Zealand and intelligence reports suggesting the same may soon happen in the United States.To put these recent developments in context, Scott R. Anderson sat down with three Canadian national security experts who have been following the convoy crisis closely: Amarnath Amarasingam, assistant professor at Queen's University; Stephanie Carvin, associate professor at Carleton University; and Jessica Davis, president of Insight Threat Intelligence. They discussed the origins of the convoy movement, its relationship with domestic violent extremism and what it might mean for both Canada and the rest of the world.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

It's Party for Two! Jerry is joined by Karen Stintz, Vice-President of Finance and Operations for the Canadian Council for Rehabilitation and Work, former Toronto city councillor, and former TTC chair, to discuss the biggest developments in the Canada-U.S. trade dispute and the day's top stories. As calls grow for Canada to respond aggressively to new American tariffs, Jerry argues that responding to unreasonable actions with more unreasonable actions is not a winning strategy. He examines whether retaliation is the right approach and what alternatives policymakers should consider. To explore those options further, Jerry speaks with Ian Lee, Associate Professor at Carleton University's Sprott School of Business, about what tools Canada has available beyond tariffs and what a successful response to U.S. trade pressure might look like. Plus, Jerry revisits Bill Carroll's interview with Premier Doug Ford from earlier this morning, reacting to the latest tariffs announced by Donald Trump and discussing what they could mean for Ontario workers, businesses, and the broader Canadian economy.

The centerpiece of Melodrama as Provocateur (Duke UP, 2026) is an essay by Linda Williams (1946–2025). Williams was Professor of Film Studies and Rhetoric at the University of California, Berkeley. Her highly influential work reframed some of cinema's most neglected or denigrated genres from a feminist perspective, including documentary, pornography, horror, and melodrama. Melodrama is the focus of what would become Williams's final project. In the last few years of her life, she was working on a project that traced melodrama's divergent fortunes in France and the US—and argued for its enduring relevance in contemporary life and culture. Williams's work on this project was curtailed when she suffered a stroke, the complications of which led to her death in 2025. In the wake of her passing, some of her friends, collaborators, and admirers joined together to make a book that honors and memorializes her. Not only sharing Williams's unfinished work with the world, Melodrama as Provocateur also expands on that work through a series of essays by scholars working in melodrama studies across time, place, and media. For New Books in Film, Alix Beeston sits down with the three editors of Melodrama as Provocateur: Christine Gledhill, an esteemed scholar of film and feminism who is presently a Visiting Professor of Cinema Studies at the University of Leeds; Laura Horak, Professor of Film Studies at Carleton University; and Elisabeth R. Anker, Professor of American Studies and Political Science and Director of Film Studies at the George Washington University. Celebrating the model of incisive and generous research, teaching, mentorship, and collaboration Williams provided, the editors of Melodrama as Provocateur discuss the unique shape of a scholarly book generated in response to a colleague's unfinished labor. They also take up some of Williams's provocations, including the political possibilities of melodrama in contemporary culture—from Trumpian discourse to trans cinema and beyond—and explore the kinds of labor, thought, and feeling necessary for studying melodrama as a form that moves or provokes us. Like their book, a work forged in grief and loss, Gledhill, Horak, and Anker's conversation casts film and media scholarship as an act of collectivity and love: a bid for a better kind of world.

As Canada stares down the barrel of fresh U.S. tariffs (50 per cent), there is a realization that the counter-strategies that succeeded in President Donald Trump's first term won't cut it today. For our expert panel, the power to change Trump's mind won't come down to the federal government or Prime Minister Mark Carney. Instead, the pressure will come from America's voters, businesses and political funders.What game is the U.S. playing in targeting products such as Christmas decorations, dog leashes, toilet paper and hockey sticks, while exempting crude oil, potash and critical minerals? Host Kathleen Petty has assembled a couple of the big guns to help make sense of the strategy:Gitane De Silva, executive director of the University of Alberta's Peter Lougheed School of Politics and Democracy; founder and president of GDStrategic; and Alberta's senior representative to the United States from 2016 to 2019. Martha Hall Findlay, a member of Carleton University's expert group on Canada-U.S. Relations; director of the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy; and a former Liberal MP.As Canada contemplates how it may respond, the experts caution there's a big difference between standing strong and hitting back. They say our country needs to stop wishing the U.S. would play fair, and focus on what can actually be done about the trade relationship. They say Alberta is getting greater recognition thanks to the dispute, and that Albertans and Canadians are seeing how each province contributes to the country as a whole.Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: Gitane De Silva, Martha Hall FindlayProducer: Diane Yanko

In this episode, Chichi Ayalogu joins me in discussing the history of the Biafran secessionists' gambit to sustain the independence movement during the Nigerian Civil War, 1967–1970. This episode aims to examine this topic within the context of the Atlantic World. Chichi is a PhD Candidate in the Institute of Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture at Carleton University. Her research on diasporic witnessing lies at the intersections of memory studies, visual culture, and diasporic studies, foregrounding scholarship on creative economies and subject position. Her writing has been published in the Journal of Postcolonial Writing, the Nordic Journal of African Studies, and ASAP/review. In addition to her full-time research, she wears multiple hats as an emerging arts curator, a college instructor teaching general education courses, and, most importantly, a mother and partner.

Dr. Ian Lee of Carleton University lays out what is really happening with CUSMA.

Small businesses run on lean marketing teams and tight budgets, but don't count them out. They're the overwhelming majority of businesses on earth. Small companies have one function that's poised to figure out AI through experimentation, analysis and strategic changes in direction. It's marketing, and it may very well determine the winner of the AI race. After graduating from Laurentian University, our guest worked in corporate and consulting positions across Canada and even in Korea. He then founded a business which he grew to a successful exit, which led to mentoring students at Algonquin College and eventually teaching in their Business Management and Entrepreneurship program. Hungry to understand what AI could do for businesses, he went back to school in 2016 — to Carleton University for a Master's degree. In 2025 he heard about the AI Collective and founded its local Ottawa chapter. He is now CEO of ScarlettNova, an AI company dedicated to building artificial intelligence solutions for businesses, and Founder of Rogue Ventures, an AI venture studio.

This episode initially aired on June 12, 2025. Following a recent CSIS Americas conference on U.S.-Canada security cooperation, this issue remains an important priority in the bilateral defense relationship. As a NATO and NORAD member, Canada plays a crucial role in North American continental defense. With the United States now pursuing an expanded continental missile defense posture dubbed the Golden Dome, the Canada-U.S. relationship may be entering a new phase. While the Golden Dome could prove beneficial in advancing Canada's security strategy, it remains unclear what Canada's involvement would actually look like, how much protection it would receive under the Golden Dome, and to what extent President Trump's annexation rhetoric will undermine the Canadian public's willingness to entertain the missile defense initiative. In this episode, Christopher Hernandez-Roy sits down with Phillippe Lagassé, Associate Professor with the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University. Together they discuss Canada's historical position on continental missile defense, changes to the threat landscape faced by Canada, and how the government of Prime Minister Mark Carney is approaching defense modernization priorities. They also discuss the effect of ongoing U.S.-Canada tensions on the likelihood that Canada will move forward with participation in the Golden Dome.

Montreal is still trying to come to terms with Monday's deadly shooting in Côte-des-Neiges that left three people dead, including 34-year-old SPVM officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane. Investigators are examining a lengthy manifesto allegedly written by the gunman, with reports suggesting it contained anti-police rhetoric, references to incel ideology and grievances involving the pornography industry.

We talk about Quebec's move to ban energy drinks for youths under 16 we hear whether Ontario needs a similar ban. Our guest is brain development expert Matt Holahan, a professor and chair of the Neuroscience department at Carleton University.

In this episode of the Living to 100 Club, Dr. Joe Casciani speaks with Amanda Montague of Carleton University about her innovative, community-based research on social isolation and loneliness among older adults. Also on the program is Anna Cuylits, Chair of the Senior Watch Old Ottawa South (SWOOS). Working closely with Anna's group in Ottawa, Amanda used participatory methods—including workshops, digital storytelling, and social network mapping—to better understand how older adults experience connection in everyday life. Rather than focusing only on isolation, the project explored what helps people feel connected, revealing an important insight: loneliness may be more prevalent—and more complex—than social isolation alone. Their conversation highlights how social connection is shaped not just by relationships, but also by the design of communities—walkable spaces, accessible transportation, and simple features like places to rest. To better understand social connection in older adults, they also explore the role of informal networks of care, community partnerships, and the need for better coordination among organizations that support aging in place. This episode offers practical insights for professionals, caregivers, and communities seeking to move beyond awareness and take meaningful steps to strengthen connection and well-being in later life. Mini Bios Amanda Montague Amanda received her PhD from the University of Ottawa in 2019. Her dissertation, Mobile Memories: Canadian Cultural Memory in the Digital Age, explored how mobile technologies and locative media shape everyday experiences of memory and place. From 2019 to 2022, she held a postdoctoral fellowship in Digital Storytelling at the Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship at McMaster University, where she collaborated with librarians and information specialists to support digital scholarship through teaching, consultations, and digital tool workshops. She later joined McMaster's Office of Community Engagement as an Educational Developer for Community-Engaged Teaching and Learning. Amanda has extensive experience developing community-engaged and experiential learning courses as an instructor, collaborator, and consultant. Since 2016, she has designed projects in digital humanities that promote creativity, collaboration, and community-building. Her work has included supporting students in developing community storytelling projects using tools such as podcasting, digital exhibits, mapping, GIS, and social media. In her current role at Carleton University as Postdoctoral Fellow for Community Engaged Digital Humanities and StudioDH, Amanda continues to advance interdisciplinary, community-driven digital scholarship while fostering equitable co-teaching and co-learning environments for students, instructors, and community members. Anna Cuylits Anna is Chair of OSCA Senior Watch Old Ottawa South (SWOOS). She retired in 2012 after a 40-year career in community and hospital social work. Wanting to age in place in her inner urban community of Old Ottawa South, Anna and other residents recognized barriers to healthy aging and independent living. In 2018, they founded SWOOS to raise awareness and advocate for improvements in healthcare, housing, social connection, and winter walkability. Under Anna's leadership, SWOOS has published dozens of articles on safe and healthy aging, conducted winter walkability audits to support advocacy for improved city maintenance standards, helped support development of the Seniors Health Innovations Hub, and successfully advocated for community improvements including an intergenerational chat bench and an additional city bus stop. SWOOS also received a 2024 Community Builders Award and is currently collaborating with Carleton University on projects examining social connections and barriers affecting older adults. Anna graduated from the Academy of Social Sciences and Social Work in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and has held professional social work registrations in British Columbia, Ontario, and nationally in Canada. In 2025, she received the Ontario Senior Achievement Award. Link to Ottawa South Social Connections Project

In this episode of On The Line, host Matt Gurney is joined by two guests for conversations about defence, geopolitics, and the changing nature of modern warfare.This episode of On The Line is brought to you by Dominion Dynamics. Canada has never had true sovereign awareness of our North. Vast parts of our country are a blind spot. And when you can't see your own territory, you can't defend it, secure it, or respond when threats emerge. Dominion Dynamics is changing that. Dominion is building a sovereign command and control capability that lets Canada and its allies see, respond, and defend across every domain. We started in the Arctic, where extreme conditions demand technology no one else can deliver.Threats don't wait for bureaucracy. They are moving faster than our institutions. Dominion is closing that gap. Speed is now the strategic capability, and Dominion Dynamics is proving you can build capability at the speed of the threat.Defend the dominion. Dominion Dynamics.Learn more at DefendTheDominion.com.First up is Philippe Lagassé of Carleton University, one of Canada's leading defence analysts, for a discussion about the political and economic realities facing the new government. (You can read Phil's work at his Substack.) They talk about the opportunity Mark Carney may have to make painful but necessary decisions on defence spending, and whether Canadians will remain willing to spend massively on national defence once Donald Trump is no longer dominating the headlines. They also discuss the role domestic industry will need to play in any serious Canadian rearmament effort — and whether the country is actually prepared to invest the money required to make that happen. For now, probably. But for how long? And even after a scandal?This episode of On The Line is also brought to you by Electro-Federation Canada. Canada's clean electricity grid gives us a competitive edge in attracting global investment — but to maintain that advantage our system needs to break down barriers and unlock the grid. Aging infrastructure, supply chain constraints, and outdated regulations threaten our ability to expand and modernize the grid — essential components of meeting future capacity needs. Electro-Federation Canada has developed a research-backed roadmap for grid readiness focused on smart policy and regulatory alignment. To learn more, visit MakeTheSwitch.ElectroFed.com.Then Matt is joined by Lazar Berman of The Times of Israel for an update from the war against Hezbollah. Berman discusses how the terror group has increasingly relied on first-person drones to target the IDF, giving relatively cheap technology an outsized impact on the battlefield. He also explains how the Israelis are adapting, what countermeasures are emerging, and what these developments reveal about the future of warfare more broadly.It's a pair of conversations about deterrence, industrial capacity, and how quickly military assumptions are changing in a more dangerous world.This episode of On The Line is also brought to you by ACDC. Canada's defence industrial base is fragmented. Critical platforms are owned and controlled abroad. That model doesn't work anymore.The Alliance of Canadian Defence Companies is rebuilding Canada's sovereign defence-industrial base. ACDC champions Canadian-owned, Canadian-controlled companies that design, build, sustain, and export next-generation defence systems. Change requires new processes, new policies, and new behaviour. ACDC membership is open to Canadian-controlled defence companies ready to lead that change.To join, email Info@AllianceCanada.com.For more from The Line, check out our main page at ReadTheLine.ca, and don't forget to like and subscribe.#OnTheLine #CanadaDefence #PhilippeLagasse #MarkCarney #CanadianForces #Israel #Hezbollah #LazarBerman #DroneWarfare #Geopolitics

The Ontario government is eyeing a shift in its water management operations. It's a move Premier Ford insists is nothing like what the Harris government did back in 2000, when seven people died and thousands fell ill after E. Coli was found in Walkerton's water drinking supply. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Meera Karunananthan, assistant professor at Carleton University to discuss Ontario's Water and Wastewater Public Corporations Act, the implications of allowing water operations to be overseen by for-profit models, and how Ontarians can fight back against the potential new changes.

This episode is all about creativity, which is not just about making art, it's about how we think, adapt, connect, and imagine new possibilities. It is essential for solving the problems that improve our lives and make the world better. I'm joined by Firdaus Kharas, award-winning filmmaker and humanitarian storyteller. His work has reached audiences around the world. As Chairman and Executive Producer of Chocolate Moose Media Inc., he has produced internationally recognized social impact campaigns and films focused on global issues, including health, education, human rights, and social change. He has won many awards, including the Order of Canada and an honorary doctorate from Carleton University. In our conversation, we explore creativity not simply as artistic talent, but as a way of thinking, leading, problem-solving, and living more fully. Our conversation is inspired by his book, Creativity: The Key to a Remarkable Life, where he shares insights from decades of global storytelling, innovation, and social impact work. In this episode, we talk about where creativity comes from, how to cultivate it in everyday life and work, and why curiosity, imagination, and human connection matter more than ever in a rapidly changing world. I hope you enjoy our conversation and that it inspires you to build habits that foster creativity in your own life.

As Canada gears up for soccer's most exciting time, we can't help but notice the dark cloud that looms over the World Cup. The current geopolitical reality on the global scale - whether it's the Iran-US/Israel war, the violent fallout after the death of Mexican drug lord El Mencho, immigration crackdowns throughout the US - has stirred real safety concerns for the more than 100 games across the three countries. Guest host Devang Desai speaks to Aaron Ettinger, political science professor at Carleton University to discuss the intersection of sports and politics, how US President Trump uses international sporting events to his own advantage, and the role of FIFA.

A big issue hangs over university students and professors, and that's artificial intelligence. There are some rules and guidelines, but professors are largely left on their own to determine how much they want to adopt AI or not – and that's created a wide range of opinions. Today, we hear from five Canadian university professors about how they're thinking about education and students in the world of AI. We speak with Amanda Perry, professor of literature at Champlain College-Saint Lambert and Concordia University; Matt Dinan, associate professor and director of the Great Books program at St Thomas University in New Brunswick; Sarah Elaine Eaton, professor in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary; Adegboyega Ojo, professor and Canada Research Chair in AI Governance at Carleton University; and Mike Welland, professor of Engineering Physics at McMaster University.

How? Some scientists believe it's the power of nuclear fusion. Environmentally, these machines would have the potential to meet our energy needs with zero carbon cost. This would de-escalate the climate crisis but it also removes a significant motivation behind war — the control of energy sources. Think about it. The Middle East would look a lot different today. This podcast explores what the transition to fusion energy would entail from the challenges, the rewards and the risks.Guest in this episode:Mustafa Bahran is a physics professor at Carleton University in Ottawa. He came to Canada through a program called Scholars at Risk, after his life in Yemen became too dangerous. There he founded the Yemeni Scientific Research Foundation and National Atomic Energy Commission. He was also a nuclear physics and particle physics professor at Sana'a University in Yemen.

Scientists recently published the first footage of a sperm whale birth, and it was a crowded ordeal. More than 10 other sperm whales were there for the delivery and helped keep the baby whale afloat—and not all of them were related to mom. How much do we actually understand whale culture? And how should we think about altruism in the animal kingdom? Host Flora Lichtman chats with whale biologist Shane Gero about what it was like to witness this birth and what it tells us about whale culture.  Guest: Dr. Shane Gero is a whale biologist at Carleton University, founder of The Dominica Sperm Whale Project, and biology lead for Project CETI. He's based in Ottawa, Canada. Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast.

Earthworms are supposed to be a sign of healthy soil. But they're actually an invasive species that can even damage forests. So have we been sold a lie about worms and soil? Not exactly. The relationship between the two depends on the context. And the way we garden — or farm — can make all the difference. IDEAS producer Annie Bender unearths the complicated truth about the not-so lowly earthworm.Guests in this episode:Joshua Steckley is a political ecologist, postdoctoral fellow at Carleton University and the author of The Nightcrawlers: A Story of Worms, Cows, and Cash in the Underground Bait Industry.Peter Groffman is a professor at the City University of New York Advanced Science Research Center and Brooklyn College, with research interests in ecosystem, soil, landscape and microbial ecology, with a focus on carbon and nitrogen dynamics.Mike McTavish is a conservation scientist at a rare Charitable Research Reserve in Cambridge, Ontario.Janet Browne is a historian of science and Darwin biographer, author of a two-volume set called Darwin: A Biography.

AI tools can be helpful, but when it comes to taxes, they can also be confidently wrong.

On Tuesday U.S. president Donald Trump took back his appeal for help to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, and called out his NATO allies for largely ignoring his request.Iran's blockade of the chokepoint between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman has effectively cut off commercial shipping. This has halted the flow of nearly 20 per cent of the world's oil supply, caused fuel prices to surge, and sent shockwaves through the global economy.As the Israel and U.S. war on Iran continues, today we're asking whether the U.S. can open the Strait on its own, why allies are so reluctant to help, and if diplomacy — not military might — will be the key to unlocking the shipping route. Guest host Jason Markusoff speaks with Aaron Ettinger, professor of political science at Carleton University.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

As Iran counter attacks by targeting energy infrastructure in neighbouring countries and threatening to shut off access to the Strait of Hormuz, we explore how Canada moves forward in a global economy dealing with even more chaos and uncertainty.

Why being alone feels so hard—and how solitude can make you healthier, calmer and more connected. Robert Coplan spent months on the road as a solo musician, driving through the southern U.S. with long stretches of boredom, isolation, and nowhere to escape his own thoughts. Then he made one small shift that turned his misery into meaning. Coplan has since spent his career studying solitude—why we resist it, what it gives us when we stop fighting it, and how too little “me time” can leave us stressed, irritable, and disconnected. GUEST Robert Coplan is a professor of psychology at Carleton University and author of “The Joy of Solitude: How to Reconnect with Yourself in an Overconnected World” (https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Joy-of-Solitude/Robert-J-Coplan/9781668053423) Episode transcript - https://uncomfypodcastbyu.blogspot.com/2026/02/why-being-alone-might-be-exactly-what.html CHAPTERS (0:00) Introduction (1:05) Meet Robert Coplan (1:28) From Musician to Psychologist (3:17) The Joy of Solitude (5:28) Experimenting with Solitude (10:32) The Role of Technology in Solitude (13:08) Loneliness vs. Solitude (15:46) The Concept of "Aloneliness" (17:09) Normalizing the Need for Alone Time (18:12) Conclusion

Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump set off a firestorm with comments dismissing the military contributions of fellow NATO members during the war in Afghanistan. This follows the president's aggressive bid for Greenland, a self-governing territory of NATO-ally Denmark, which brought into question whether NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, could survive without America, its strongest and richest member. And while some kind of agreement on Greenland now seems to be on the table, and Trump appears to be backing down, today we're asking what damage has already been done to NATO. How does this latest challenge to its existence compare to conflicts the military alliance has faced before? Aaron Ettinger, a professor of political science at Carleton University, joins us for a conversation about how NATO's past and present could inform its future.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

"This is a hopeless situation but we are not helpless." This is what drives Sudanese journalist Yousra Elbagir's reporting on her homeland's forgotten war. She uses what she calls "human reporting" to let the world know Sudan is more than conflict and suffering. "Sudanese generosity is our lifeblood. That's what's keeping us alive right now. We are actually surviving in forced starvation through generosity and kindness and care."Yousra Elbagir delivered the 2025 Stursberg Foreign Correspondents Lecture at Carleton University. She spoke to host Nahlah Ayed about her work and her lecture: Human reporting from Sudan and beyond — a remedy for selective empathy?

Today marks 5 years since insurrectionists took to Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, to riot at the word of out-going President Donald Trump. The attack claimed the lives of five people, including a sixth who was shot by police. More than 100 officers were injured. On the first day of his second presidential term, Trump pardoned more than 1500 people in connection to the attack.Five years later, the Trump Administration carries on as it grapples with internal conflict, Epstein revelations, and a newly-sparked takeover of Venezuela. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Aaron Ettinger, political science professor at Carleton University to discuss how January 6th 2021 has shaped the identity of American politics, and how cracks within the MAGA movement continue to develop.

Changing tastes, climatic conditions, health warnings, economic factors are all creating a perfect storm for the global wine industry. The origins of wine-making date back to around 9,000 years ago, when it was a drink mostly associated with elite society. Since then, it's had a long association with major occasions like weddings and funerals, as the beverage of choice. And it has been integral to different forms of worship and spirituality. Up until the twentieth century it was even considered a healthy tipple. But demand for wine has been steadily declining across the globe. In France, home to some of the world's most famous brands, the government has now had to step in to support the producers and their vineyards. And there is increasing competition everywhere from both the beer and spirits industry, who are marketing more alcohol-free or low-alcohol options. So, on The Inquiry this week, we're asking, Is it last orders for the wine industry? Contributors: Jane Anson, author, wine critic, Bordeaux, France Roderick Phillips, author, Professor of History, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada Stefano Castriota, author, Professor of Economics, University of Pisa, Italy Peter McAtamney, founder of Wine Business Solutions, New South Wales, Australia Presenter: Charmaine Cozier Producer: Jill Collins Researcher: Evie Yabsley Production management assistant: Liam Morrey Technical producer: Mark Burrows Editor: Tom Bigwood (Photo: A bunch of grapes.
