After celebrating Winnipeg’s triumphant victory as Canada’s most racist city, we look at the disconnect between viewing racism as bigoted acts by individuals and seeing it as a colonial system which operates beyond any individual person’s attitudes or actions. We then buckle in for the thrill ride that is the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, offering our official review of Canada’s newest national museum: from the wings of the white dove, through the bodegas of despair, and up to the tip of the flume ride and back. Lastly, on G7 Radio, we look at Rhythm Activism’s strange and amazing 1998 album Jesus Was Gay.Episode LinksWelcome to Winnipeg: Where Canada's racism problem is at its worstWheeler Vs.

This month we get into the copious feedback we received from last episode, specifically reflecting on the dissonance between our discussion of sexual assault and two of our past G7 releases. Next we look at the recent spate of highly-publicized police killings of black men in the United States, and wonder aloud what might be more effective in preventing such extra-judicial murder: police body cameras, or a fundamental power shift in race, policing, and justice? Then we make the mistake of once again trying to review a Hollywood movie with Interstellar, but end up on a tangent about our obsession with science fiction and space travel, human triumphalism, alien saviourism, and the barf scene in Team America. Lastly, in the fourth installment of G7 Radio, we discuss I Spy’s 1998 discography Perversity Is Spreading … It’s About Time!Episode LinksConsentEd - What Is Consent?ConsentEd - Misrepresentation of Sexual AssaultProject MENDRestorative Justice OnlineOperation Ghetto Storm Annual ReportDo Police Body Cameras Actually Work?Why is no-one talking about American-on-American crime?Black Lives MatterInterstellarWanderersThe Fermi ParadoxAvoiding "Sagan Syndrome"Reasonable VeganEpisode MusicDead Prez – I Have A Dream, TooI Spy – Appliances and Cars

In the wake of widespread allegations detailing disgraced CBC Radio personality Jian Ghomeshi’s long history of violent sexual assaults, Winnipeg-based writer and journalist Melissa Martin (@DoubleEmMartin) joins us in the basement. We discuss her experience being introduced to the “open secret” of Ghomeshi’s unsettling behaviour towards women; how that kind of open secret is mirrored more broadly in society; why the criminal justice system is not the right model for dealing with sexual assault; and how our twisted and deficient views on consent and sexuality allow abusers like Jian to believe they’ve done nothing wrong. Then to lighten the mood, we bring you the third installment of G7 Radio, this time featuring The Weakerthans’ debut album “Fallow”.Episode LinksJian Ghomeshi: 8 women accuse former CBC host of violence, sexual abuse or harassmentThe week that was: How Jian Ghomeshi news unfoldedJian Ghomeshi's Facebook postDo You Know About JianI Didn't Report Because Fuck YouFor battered NFL wives, a message from the cops and the league: Keep quietSorry, we haven't reached a 'watershed' on violence against womenEpisode MusicThe Weakerthans – LeashThe Weakerthans – Letter of Resignation

Boo! It’s October, which means another terrifying Halloween episode! This month we visit the home of Anishinaabe/Metis comedian and podcaster Ryan McMahon (@RMComedy) – which, like most homes in North America, is probably built on a haunted ancient Indian burial ground. We chat with Ryan about his stand-up comedy and his Red Man Laughing podcast; how Idle No More has influenced his work; the history of colonization in Canada; and how we might work towards a more just and sustainable future. Then, on the second installment of G7 Radio, we discuss Consolidated’s artistically-advanced yet commercially-untenable 1997 album “Dropped”.Episode LinksRyan McMahonRed Man Laughing Live on CBCDancing On Our Turtle's BackIndian & CowboyConsolidated - "Dropped"Consolidated - "Business of Punishment"Episode MusicTanya Tagaq – UjaConsolidated – Schnitzel BoyConsolidated – Fractured FairytalesConsolidated – Shell

This month we delve (very-shallowly) into our personal video game histories in order to reveal just how little we know about games and gaming, then discuss Anita Sarkeesian’s Feminist Frequency and Tropes vs Women in Video Games projects. We then touch on the new Canadian Museum for Human Rights and how it may or may not be of any value to anybody anywhere currently facing human rights abuses, and see how it compares to the nearby Museum of Canadian Human Rights Abuses. Lastly we break ground on a new segment called G7 Radio, where we step back through time and discuss the records we released while running G7 Welcoming Committee Records.

After reflecting on both the outcome of the recent U.S. elections and Israel’s latest bombardment of Gaza — and after getting immolated in a Predator drone strike — we interview Shawna Potter of Baltimore hardcore band War on Women (and founder of her local chapter of Hollaback!) about music, feminism, activism, street harassment and more.Episode LinksInterview with Jon Elmer on G7 Radio, Episode 2Israel and Palestine: An animated introductionIsrael/Palestine 101Arabs & Israel For Beginners by Ron DavidImage and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict by Norman FinkelsteinPeace, Propaganda, and the Promised LandWar on Women "Improvised Weapons"Hollaback!

As longtime listeners know, we here at G7 Radio have always prided ourselves on our crapsmanshit. Hence, we bring you Episode 6: by leaps and bounds the worst, most pointless, most childish and uninspired episode of G7 Radio. We make fun of each other's wangs and hold a seance between a smattering of rad songs. That's about it.

That's right - we are back with a third installment of G7 Radio that continues to refuse to insult your intelligence by subjecting you to a thinly veiled self-aggrandizing info-merical for a crop of utterly mediocre new records put out only because labels are expected to keep farting out product regardless of whether it's exceptional or unique in any way. No, we have much more imaginative ways of insulting your intelligence. Basically this month we basically talk to Jord, who basically is active with the Canada-Haiti Action Network (and also basically plays drums in Propagandhi). Jordy basically goes over some of Haiti's basically tumultuous history, and basically leads up to the basically illegal interference by the West (basically the US, Canada and France) in Haiti's basically democratic processes. How many times can one man say "basically"? How many times can one man fart into a microphone? You tell us, we lost count. PLUS! Hear Derek rant like a lunatic! Oh wait, that's just him asking questions.
