Today's episode is going to be especially useful if you're a Canadian DIY investor and you want to build an optimized, passive, low-cost portfolio, but you still have questions about some of the practical details. For example, should you just buy one all-in-one asset allocation ETF, or is there a benefit to buying the underlying ETFs individually? How much should you care about ETF trading volume? What does liquidity actually mean when we're talking about ETFs? Should you use market orders or limit orders when buying ETFs? And if you're an income-focused investor, what are the pros and cons of building your portfolio around dividends? We also get into the active versus passive investing debate, why it's so difficult for stock pickers and active managers to consistently beat the market over the long term, and how investors can think about risk when comparing traditional bonds with things like low-volatility ETFs. Also as a Build Wealth Canada listener, we have a brand new free issue of Canadian MoneySaver magazine for you. The issue focuses specifically on ETFs here in Canada, I wrote an article for it as well, and you can get the digital version of the entire magazine for free by going to buildwealthcanada.ca/magazine. Our Guests: To help answer these questions, we have two great guests joining us. First, we have Chris White from Canadian MoneySaver Magazine. Chris is also the Head of Research at 5i Research, and you may have heard him on CBC Radio or BNN Bloomberg. We're also joined by popular returning guest Danielle Neziol, who is a very experienced and passionate educator when it comes to DIY investing here in Canada, especially index investing using low-cost ETFs, which, by the way, is literally how I invest all of my own money. Danielle is one of the hosts of the ETF Market Insights YouTube channel, she's a frequent speaker at industry events across Canada, and she works at BMO ETFs, one of the largest ETF providers in Canada so she incredible access to some of the best education, best practices, and resources when it comes to DIY investing here in Canada.

Larry Ostola speaks with Brendan Kelly about his book Habs Nation. The history of the Montreal Canadiens is about more than just hockey. It's also the story of how hockey's most winning team has always skated hand-in-hand with its home province of Quebec. Brendan Kelly takes a fresh look at the ups and downs of the Habs since the heyday of the “Flying Frenchmen” in the 50s, 60s and 70s and shows how the history of the team mirrors the tumultuous changes in Quebec over the past decades. Why was it that from 1955, year of the “Rocket Richard Riot,” until 1995, year of Quebec's second referendum, the Canadiens won 17 Stanley Cups? Kelly talks with former Canadiens greats like Serge Savard and Bob Gainey, journalists, politicians, filmmakers and even Lord of the Rings star Viggo Mortensen, maybe the Canadiens' most famous fan—telling the tale of the team's unique bond with its fans. One surprising conclusion is that when the team's roster was at its most Québécois, the team had its greatest success on the ice. Since Montreal's last Quebec superstar, Patrick Roy, was unceremoniously booted out of town, the franchise has failed to win a Stanley Cup and has rarely been amongst the NHL's elite squads. Brendan Kelly, born in Glasgow, raised in Montreal and a fan of the Canadiens for longer than he can remember, was one of the founders of the late great alternative weekly the Montreal Mirror. He worked at the Montreal Daily News in the late 80s and had a weekly music column on CBC Radio for over 30 years. His Montreal Gazette column “What the Puck” is a controversial contrarian hot take on the Canadiens that elicits much hate and even more love. He has written for the Gazette since 1996. He also contributes frequently to various Radio-Canada cultural shows. If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.

There is frustration at the pump — linked to a war thousands of kilometres away. Gas prices are high as the long weekend begins. And a speech from the U.S. President gave no insights into when the war in the Mideast might end.Also: Donald Trump fires his attorney general Pam Bondi.And: Sometimes it seems like you just can't count on anything anymore. CBC-Radio's investigative program Enquête has found the “pure” maple syrup sold by a major Quebec producer isn't as pure as it's supposed to be. Lab tests revealed several cans from different batches of syrup were cut with at least 50 per cent cane sugar.Plus: Finance minister in China to drum up business, a Yukon First Nation declares a caribou herd a living ecological person, and more.

Prepare for battle – a cookie battle, that is! Back in the early 1900s, two brothers invented a game changing cookie. It consisted of two crisp chocolate wafers, stuck together with a vanilla cream filling. It was delicious! It was fancy! They called it… Hydrox.Years later, Nabisco created their own knockoff version of Hydrox. They called it the Oreo. For decades, Hydrox was the undisputed king of chocolate sandwich cookies. But in time, the tables turned.Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

TEATIME WITH MISS LIZ SERVES: DWAYNE BRENNA TitleThe Laundryman: Justice, Secrets & Survival in the Frozen Frontier TaglineWhen truth lies buried beneath snow and silence.TopicHistorical fiction, storytelling, Canadian frontier history, justice, and the craft of writing across genres. In this captivating Teatime, Miss Liz welcomes Dwayne Brenna, an award-winning Canadian author, playwright, and poet whose work spans humour, poetry, historical fiction, and cultural storytelling. His gripping novel The Laundryman transports readers to the frozen Canadian frontier of 1883, where a single death in the isolated settlement of Prince Albert exposes secrets buried beneath the snow. Through the intertwined journeys of a hardened Mountie and a conflicted surgeon, Brenna crafts a powerful narrative exploring justice, redemption, and the moral complexities of frontier life. Over a distinguished career, Brenna has written across multiple genres, from poetry collections such as Stealing Home to award-winning fiction like New Albion. For nearly four decades, he also directed theatre in a university drama department, shaping generations of performers and storytellers. His creative voice—versatile, poetic, and accessible—continues to resonate with readers drawn to stories that blend literary depth with compelling human experience. Introduction (On Air)“Welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz, where I don't serve a beverage — I serve real-life changemakers. Today we sit with Dwayne Brenna, an award-winning Canadian author whose storytelling takes us from poetry and theatre to gripping historical fiction set in the frozen frontier.”Closing SummaryDwayne will remind us that storytelling preserves history, challenges our understanding of justice, and connects us through shared human struggles. His work proves that powerful stories can come from anywhere—from the theatre stage to the pages of a novel set deep in Canada's northern wilderness. Dwayne Brenna is an award-winning Canadian author, poet, and playwright whose work spans fiction, humour, poetry, and theatre history. His novels and poetry have received national recognition, and his storytelling has aired on CBC Radio.

Josée is an outdoor parenting advocate and writer who is passionate about helping families raise children who feel connected to the natural world.Josée's work has been featured on CBC Radio and referenced in parenting books and university courses.

Josée is Red River Métis and lives in Kelowna with her five children.In this conversation, we explore what it really means to go “beyond the front door” when it comes to nature connection. Josée shares the personal story behind writing her book during a time of parental overwhelm and burnout—and how that experience led her to create a more relatable and supportive resource for families who want to spend more time outside.We also talk about raising outdoor kids, the importance of community when it comes to getting outside with children, and the relationship between home and school in nurturing nature connection. Josée reflects on what surprised her most while writing the book, what she wishes teachers understood about children's need for nature, and what a truly nature-centered school might look like.This episode is a thoughtful conversation about simple, meaningful ways to reconnect children—and ourselves—with the natural world just outside our doors.In this episode, we discuss:The inspiration behind Beyond the Front DoorParenting, burnout, and finding community outdoorsWhat “beyond the front door” really means for familiesDesigning schools with nature connection in mindHow parents and teachers can support each other in getting kids outside moreIf this conversation resonates with you, be sure to check out Josée's book and explore her website of resources.

In today's On The Line, host Jen Gerson sits down with longtime friend and Calgarian Paul Hughes, who left his comfortable home in Alberta to help in Ukraine at the outbreak of war four years ago. Hughes, who was joined by his son, Mac, has now been a witness to the extraordinary heartbreak and courage of the Ukrainian people. His son was seriously injured; Hughes has been kidnapped by Russians; and he's even now regularly bombarded by sirens and bomb threats. He speaks to Gerson from a darkened apartment in Kharkiv, where the latest assault has left him without electricity or heat. They also talk about what his experience has taught him about the separatist threat brewing back home. Note: The CBC did an article on Hughes' experience with the Russians, referenced in this podcast, here. 300 missions in, this Canadian volunteer says he'll stay in Ukraine until he's asked to leave | CBC Radio

Handel's Messiah is one of the best-loved pieces of Christmas music. Only it was meant for Easter. But it draws on far more from the Old Testament than the New. There are more surprising facts about this 18th-century masterpiece that IDEAS explores with Ivars Taurins, founding director of the Tafelmusik Chamber Choir who has conducted Messiah over 200 times, and veteran CBC Radio broadcaster Robert Harris. In nine movements, they reveal the hidden treasures of Handel's celebrated work. *This episode originally aired in 2015.

Our final episode of this Courage My Friends season features a December 10th Human Rights Day Panel Discussion, the first of a series of events celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Community Worker Program at Toronto's George Brown College. Community workers and human rights advocates, Brianna Olson Pitawanakwat, Samira Mohyeddin, Diana Gallego, Desmond Cole and Diana Chan McNally discuss the meaning of human rights in Canada 77 years after the UN adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, critical issues facing us today and the power of solidarity-driven, rights-based organizing. Speaking to Canada's approach to human rights, Pitawanakwat says: "A big wakeup call was a couple of days ago when the UN passed the International Day Against Colonialism and Canada abstained. Because Canada is very much still rooted in this colonial mechanism and ideology here … In Anishinaabe culture, we don't rely on the idea of rights, rights are a European construct. We rely on the idea of responsibility … If we relied on human rights, we would be in a dismal place, which is where we are today." According to Chan McNally: "Every time you see an encampment that is someone exercising their right to housing by literally making their own tent.We have downloaded the responsibility directly on homeless people to ensure their own rights. And criminalizing even that action of survival ... It's ludicrous, ludicrous to me." Speaking to the importance of community work, Cole says: "People are doing it in this school and in this program. The reason that I always say yes, when you ask me to come here … I was homeless myself more than 20 years ago when I moved to this city. Somebody who took a community worker program referred me to a youth shelter and changed my life. For real." On the role of independent journalism, Mohyeddin reflects on her upcoming documentary about the pro-Palestine student encampment at UofT: "Our corporate media was vilifying these young people. And you know, my motto for journalism has always been to 'Make mad the guilty and appall the free.' And I think that if we operate from that place, even as citizens, we can really make a change." On the power of solidarity, Gallego says: "The system want us being isolated. Solidarity is a word they trying to penalize … Solidarity is going and bringing the power that the Indigenous community have with the Palestinian movement. Bringing the solidarity of the unions back to us, back to the people.Being a community worker … Being the first face that a refugee is seeing in Canada and seeing the welcoming and seeing the support, means a lot." About today's speakers:  Brianna Olson Pitawanakwat is an Anishinaabekwe, Indigiqueer and member of Wiikwemkoong Unceded First Nation.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we dig into the archives for an interview with the late Stuart McLean, host of “The Vinyl Café” for CBC Radio in Canada. Feliks Banel interviewed Mr. McLean in the lobby of the Paramount Theatre in Seattle on the afternoon of December 11, 2013. That night, Mr. McLean would present a special holiday touring edition of his radio show to a sold-out theatre packed full of American "Vinyl Café" fans. "The Vinyl Café" is a little hard to describe for those who have never heard it. As part of each broadcast, Stuart McLean would tell long and often humorous stories about a man named Dave who owns the world's smallest "reh-cord" store (and that's how the word is pronounced in parts of Canada). Dave's wife is Morley, and their kids are Sam and Stephanie. Along with the storytelling, "The Vinyl Café" often featured music by Canadian bands. The audio is from the “field tape” or raw recording of an interview shot on video as part of a feature for a local public TV station in Seattle. It's been lightly edited – and the audio quality of the off-mic portion – of Feliks nervously asking questions – is not that great. Stuart McLean passed away in 2017 at age 68. More information about The Vinyl Café https://vinylcafe.com/ CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via flagship station SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org. The radio station broadcasts from studios at historic Magnuson Park – located in the former Master-at-Arms' quarters in the old Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

 The CBC is broken: how should it be fixed? Defund the whole thing? Refund the whole thing? Double down on digital? Stop chasing digital relevance?The list goes on and on. You've heard them all. But for a moment, forget about funding or even political bias. Just ask: why does the CBC exist? What is its underlying ideology? Not its political ideology, but its philosophy for why we need it. Does it have one? Does it need one? If it does have one, is it working or is that what needs to change?David Cayley spent over 40 years at the CBC as a journalist and producer. For 30 of those years he worked on CBC Radio's Ideas program. He's now published a book, The CBC: How Canada's Public Broadcaster Lost Its Voice (and How it Can Get it Back). It's both an ideological history of the CBC's past and a manifesto for the CBC's future.In it, he puts his finger right on the root problem. The CBC is there for everyone. It's supposed to speak to all of the Canadian public. However, if the public has splintered beyond recognition, what's left to speak to?Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Featured Guest: David CayleyFact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkMore information:The CBC: How Canada's Public Broadcaster Lost Its Voice (and How it Can Get it Back) — Sutherland HouseDavid CayleySponsors: oxio: Head over to https://canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!

This is a big week in politics: Mark Carney's first federal budget. To catch you up on what you missed from the government's big unveiling, The House brings you this special bonus episode from today's live CBC Radio broadcast.

What if everything you believe about workplace wellness is only part of the story? In this episode, Kevin welcomes Dr. Katina Sawyer and Dr. Patricia Grabarek to discuss the real drivers of well-being at work and the critical role leaders play in shaping thriving environments. Drawing on their research, Katina and Patricia challenge the overreliance on surface-level wellness programs and demonstrate how authentic leadership, trust, and team connection have far greater impact. They introduce the concept of "generators", leaders who energize and empower their teams and contrast them with "extinguishers," who unintentionally drain motivation and wellness. Patricia and Katina also explore ideas like authenticity within professional boundaries, person-centered leadership, and the practical importance of being a "boundary bouncer."

In recent years, we have seen heated debate in this country around the CBC and its future. With the question of defunding no longer looming, it is a good time to pause, to look back at where our national public broadcaster has been, and to talk through where it might go from here. Our guest on today's program is veteran CBC producer who has written an insightful and well-researched new book about the institution — and where he thinks it went wrong.David Cayley is a Canadian author and broadcaster. For thirty years, he made documentaries for the CBC Radio show Ideas. His latest book is The CBC: How Canada's Public Broadcaster Lost Its Voice (And How to Get It Back).You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com
