Just in time for Jewish Heritage Month, the team behind the iconic Heritage Minutes—60-second short films about notable Canadians throughout history—is spotlighting Bora Laskin, the first Jewish justice appointed to the country's Supreme Court. Laskin became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court soon after. He served from 1970 until his untimely death from pneumonia in 1984 at the age of 71. The son of Jewish immigrants to Fort William (now Thunder Bay) in Northern Ontario, Laskin was a gold-medal law student in Toronto during the 1930s. With widespread antisemitism in the profession in those days, it was challenging for Laskin to find an articling position, which he ultimately did—with a Jewish firm. Laskin then went on to complete multiple degrees, including from Harvard. After nearly two decades teaching law at the newly founded U of T law school–where the library now bears his name-Laskin was appointed to the provincial court in Ontario, where he developed a reputation as a champion of the labour movement. After former prime minister Pierre Trudeau appointed Laskin to the Supreme Court, Laskin's judgments led to patriating the Canadian Constitution, enshrining the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and equalizing women's marital property rights. This new minute-long short film stars veteran Canadian Jewish actor Victor Garber, who was reportedly eager to take on the role due to his own heritage. It will be broadcast on more than 70 television stations and also online beginning May 7. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we're joined by Sam Rosenthal, one of the creative team members behind the project, who explains the drive and meaning behind the project. Shelley Laskin, his niece and a Toronto school board trustee, also joins. Related links Watch the Bora Laskin new Heritage Minute by Historica Canada on YouTube beginning May 8.

If you live in Canada, you're probably familiar with Heritage Minutes. Produced by Historica Canada, these sixty-second short films educate viewers on fascinating or little-known stories from Canada's history. Dozens of Heritage Minutes have been released since 1991, and many of them are iconic, like “Doctor Penfield, I can smell burnt toast!” and “You never know, it might be worth something someday” and especially “Both of you know I canna read a word.” The latest short film to join the pantheon of iconic Heritage Minutes tells the story of Mary Riter Hamilton, a brave Canadian painter who ventured into No Man's Land in the aftermath of World War One. She bore witness to the destruction and devastation, painted what she saw, and suffered mentally and physically as a result. The haunting Heritage Minute – which stars Megan Follows (AKA Anne Shirley) as Mary – was written and directed by a Vancouver-based dynamic duo, Hayley Gray and Elad Tzadok, whose previous Heritage Minute told the story of Paldi, one of the most successful multicultural communities in our history. In this fascinating episode, get to know this trailblazing but little-known artist from the first half of the 20th century, as well as the dynamic duo who stepped up to tell her story.

Historica Canada quietly deleted a sympathetic portrayal of Sir John A. Macdonald from its official YouTube page, citing “feedback from educators” on the first Canadian prime minister's “controversial” legacy. To nobody's surprise, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has replaced outgoing Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre with a key mover involved in the Liberal government's woke military “culture change” agenda. And Immigration Minister Marc Miller said that Ottawa is toying with the idea of buying up hotels to house the exponential influx of asylum seekers coming to Canada.

The boys are back, joined by producer J Mo to tee up the opening round of the 2024 NHL Playoffs. The Canucks have drawn the Nashville Predators, a team headlined by some recognizable vets but backed up by a roster that seems like it was generated by ChatGPT, as we have a good time Inventing Some Guys who sound like they could play for the Preds. We're not taking them lightly though, and it should be quite a series as Nashville's coming in hot and the Canucks have somewhat limped into the post-season. All three of us make our picks for each opening round series as well, and we take one departing look at the now defunct Arizona Coyotes. A-woo.

Vyas and Jackson are together again at last to discuss the Canucks' chances of going on a deep playoff run, which team is the scariest potential playoff matchup, and who should win each of the four team awards. Support the show at patreon.com/RoxyFever, where $5 a month gets you instant Locker Room Access to our monthly Heritage Minutes. Most recently behind the paywall, returning favourite Cody Severtson joined Jackson to try and determine who the Most Forgettable Canuck of All Time is.

Vyas is away this week, but Jackson is back with noted Canucks enthusiast Cody Severtson (Canucks Army) to discuss Pettersson's contract, Demko's injury, Lindholm's fit (or lack there of), John Tortorella's suspension, grading the roster post-deadline, and of course, "FryGate". CONTENT WARNING: There is heavy discussion of Chris Simon's suicide and the various toxic cultural issues at play within the CHL from 14:00 - 47:00. A long stretch of the episode that hits on various issues around that topic, but if discussions of suicide are triggering, do be mindful of that. Jackson has fallen on some unforeseen hard times in recent weeks that he's not currently at liberty to discuss, so if you'd like to support the show now is a great time to do so.

How does fandom for Canadian sports transcend backgrounds and borders? Donnovan explores this question with a trio of guests, including the superfan himself, Nav Bhatia (3:35). They discuss his memoir, 'The Heart of a Superfan', which touches on the story of an immigrant who became the Raptors' biggest fan ever. Donnovan also chats with Anthony Wilson-Smith (17:18), President and Chief Executive Officer of Historica Canada, the national historical organization known for their iconic Heritage Minutes, as they get into the story of Norman Kwong, the first CFL player of Chinese heritage and four-time Grey Cup winner. Afterwards, Donnovan chats with Chandan Singh (33:56), whose family has operated a bridal store in Toronto for almost 40 years. They chat about the Leafs and the through lines of fandom from his father Kuki - who loves Rick Vaive - to the present day. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

This one's coming to you a scooch late, as it was recorded in the middle of the Canucks' recent losing skid, during last week's 5-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. We welcome back the good brother J.D. Burke, editor-in-chief of Elite Prospects and EP Rinkside, to talk the Air Bud films, Cody Hodgson's return to pro hockey, Arshdeep Bains' NHL debut, Bains' long-term outlook as an NHL contributor, and if it's still worth kicking the tires on Phil Kessel this late in his career. Support the show at patreon.com/RoxyFever, where $5 a month gets you instant Locker Room Access to our monthly Heritage Minutes!

On today's show: making every drop count. We talk with the mayor of Okotoks about preparing for drought and brown lawns; a new Canadian 'Heritage Minute' looks back at the life of a trail-blazing Chinese-Calgarian. We catch up with the son of Norman Kwong; a Calgary professor who studies ancient Mediterranean history is featured in a new Netflix series about Alexander the Great; Netflix is casting Canadians for some of it's big name reality shows. We talk to a local reality TV star on how to stand out among the applicants.

This week, Jackson and Vyas are pleased to welcome Roxy Fever Day 1 O.G. and the editor-in-chief of Elite Prospects & EP Rinkside J.D. Burke back to the show! The Canucks have made the league's first blockbuster trade ahead of deadline, acquiring the top trade target off the board as they nab Elias Lindholm out of Calgary, and we wonder whether Calgary was eager to change the subject after Dillon Dube's arrest for sexual assault was initially framed as a mental health leave of absence. J.D. is here to analyze the haul Calgary got back in the deal, and soothe those who fear the Canucks should not be pushing all in in the first year of their competitive window. Now is the time. This is the way. Support the show at patreon.com/roxyfever, where $5 gets you instant Locker Room Access to all of our donor content, including our most recent monthly Heritage Minute covering the Pavel Bure trade to Florida, and Bure's subsequent public feud with Matt Taibbi.

Jackson and Vyas reconvene to check in on the Vancouver Canucks only to discover they are... *checks notes* the best team in hockey? Huh?? Only one lesson to take from this: it's now time to do all the stuff we said it wasn't time to do before. All in, baby. Let's go get the guy. Support the show at patreon.com/roxyfever, where $5 a month gets you instant Locker Room Access to our monthly Heritage Minutes. Apologies that December's donor-sode was eaten by Jackson's computer, it was really great and we're working to recreate the magic as soon as possible.

In honour of Lu's number retirement-- er, ring of honour ceremony, here's an ancient patreon episode from the old-timey year 2020 discussing the time Roberto had to take a dump during an elimination game in the 2006-07 playoffs and was temporarily replaced by Dany Sabourin.

When you sit down with iconic entrepreneurs for two to three hours, it's hard to include every story in an episode. But that doesn't mean every story isn't worth telling. On this episode of Big Shot shorts, you'll hear some wild tales that didn't make it into individual episodes of season 1. You'll learn how Ed Sonshine anticipated the 2008 crash, what Aldo Bensadoun did to break into America when so many others failed, how Charles Bronfman shaped Canadian pride, and Jonathan Wener's wild story about acquiring a massive art collection. These are the stories that, once you hear them, you'll want to retell to others. — In This Episode, We Cover: (00:20) Harley and David have an epiphany about their Canadian upbringing (01:50) Every Canadian retailer fails, except for one (02:10) Why this bonus episode was necessary (03:10) Jonathan Wener's family collection of 140 paintings (05:55) How Ed Sonshine anticipated the 2008 housing crash (10:00) How passing up on a round of golf was one of Ed Sonshine's best decisions (17:45) How Charles Bronfman was behind Drake's start (18:30) Why Charles Bronfman created Heritage Minutes (22:25) How Aldo Bensadoun succeed in America when so many others failed (28:25)The only lawsuit Jonathan Wener faced in 52 years — Where To Find Big Shot:  Website: ⁠https://www.bigshot.show/ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@bigshotpodcast⁠   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bigshotshow⁠    Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/bigshotshow/⁠   Harley Finkelstein: ⁠https://twitter.com/harleyf⁠  David Segal: ⁠https://twitter.com/tea_maverick⁠ Production and Marketing: ⁠⁠https://penname.co

Jackson and Vyas back again discussing the NHL completely folding on the Pride Tape issue thanks to the courage of former Canuck Travis Dermott, and wondering what the hell was the plan there for enforcing this dumb bullcrap anyway? Beyond that, a tragic death at the rink in England leads to sweeping changes for neck protection, and alt-right grifters latch on to it to be as stunningly racist as you'd expect. To top it off, the Canucks are actually fun and good, the absolute boy Chris Faber is joining the team as their first-ever Senior Hockey Writer, and the legend Don Taylor is making his way into the BC Sports Hall of Fame. It's a time of celebration in Vancouver, which is why Vyas couldn't help but go to war with a former assistant GM. Support the show at patreon.com/roxyfever, where $5 a month gets you instant Locker Room Access to our monthly Heritage Minutes -- the latest of which is a celebration of Don Taylor's many contributions to the BC sports media landscape over the years, and you don't want to miss that.

The Canucks open the season with a bang, but Jackson is busy doing something far more important than watching the first game of a new year, and that's seeing gob live in concert. We open with a hearty discussion on sports video game soundtracks before tackling the big heavy story to start the hockey season, and that's the league's decision to ban pride tape from adorning players' sticks this season. Then it's back to the Canucks, who got a spirited performance from a player we all want good things for, and whose return to top form could be a complete game-changer for a Vancouver team that could desperately use a feel-good story. Support the show at patreon.com/roxyfever where $5 a month gets you instant Locker Room Access to all of monthly Heritage Minutes, the most recent of which saw Jackson joined by producer Justin Morissette for a ten-year retrospective on the John Tortorella season in Vancouver, and how Mike Gillis's final year set the blueprint for the decade of hell we've been stuck in ever since.

Elliot remains on pat leave, so with the hockey season rapidly approaching, Jackson and Vyas convene to discuss the wackiness in Columbus as Mike Babcock behaves exactly as everyone said he would before he got the job (this podcast was recorded before he officially resigned in disgrace). Plus the Canucks name Quinn Hughes captain! How much is Petey's contract status responsible for that, and is there any parallel timeline where Pettersson doesn't find himself making the exact same money moves he's making right now in this one? All that and more as Roxy Fever gears up for next month's puck drop. While we didn't exactly stay active on the main feed over the off-season, we did maintain the donor feed over at patreon.com/RoxyFever where $5 a month gets you instant Locker Room Access to all of our monthly Heritage Minutes. The latest is a history lesson on the late great Roger Nielsen, so get into it! Jackson is also making music again, and has some upcoming concert dates in the Victoria area.

Elliot remains on paternal leave so we call in the unofficial fourth mic once again, as Elite Prospects' EP Rinkside editor-in-chief J.D. Burke is back on the program to break down the Canucks' latest effort at the Draft, as well as the team's forays into free agency. In what feels like 2014 all over again, the team passed by the consensus best player available to draft for position... what could go wrong? Plus Ian Cole's jersey number selection leads to another mutiny in the fanbase as the team briefly hands out Luc Bourdon's old #28. Speaking of Luc Bourdon, he will be the subject of this month's Heritage Minute which you can find over at patreon.com/roxyfever, where $5 a month gets you instant locker room access to all of our bonus content.

THE ZOOMER SQUAD Bob Komsic is joined by Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer at CARP; Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine; and John Wright, Executive Vice President at Maru Public Opinion. Last week the Zoomer Squad weighed in on what Zoomers would be looking for in a new mayor, and now we've got one. So today, the Squad dives into that. Also, as of July 1st, seniors in Montreal can ride public transit for free...could such an initiative work here with the TTC? Meanwhile, out West...the B.C. government is investing $10 million to provide free air conditioners to some seniors. Could Ontario see fit to help seniors 'chill out'?

Jackson is a little under the weather this week, and with Elliot still away on parental leave the boys call in a heavy hitter to spin some yarns on the troubled history of the Arizona Coyotes, none other than AUDREY BOWLER, returning favourite and co-host of the late great Puck Bunnies podcast. Audrey tells us that the Coyotes never really stood a chance to succeed in Phoenix, and we all ponder where the team goes from here. Plus, the Columbus Blue Jackets go full heel with announcement of intention to hire Mike Babcock, and with the Stanley Cup Final in full swing we drill down on the important topics, like Succession. Support the show at patreon.com/RoxyFever, where $5 a month gets you instant Locker Room Access to the Heritage Minutes and other fun bonus content.

Elliot is away on assignment this week (the assignment: fatherhood) so Jackson and Vyas are down a man in discussing the worst possible outcome for the Connor Bedard sweepstakes: barring a trade, at least seven seasons spent in Chicago red. Plus a pair of Canadian teams make moves at the managerial level, as Kyle Dubas is out in Toronto, while Craig Conroy is named GM in Calgary. Oh, and of course the playoffs are also happening. Support the show at patreon.com/roxyfever, where $5 a month gets you instant locker room access to our monthly Heritage Minutes.

Round 1 is over and we are officially transitioning into a Seattle Kraken podcast. But before we can tackle the lessons of the first round and look ahead to the second, Jackson is sure to make note of what might seem like a minor change at the moment but could have a significant impact down the line: the BCHL ending its association with Hockey Canada. PLUS: Boston is out, and what's not to love as Matthew Tkachuk wreaks havoc on the opposite side of the continent? And the great Charles Barkley misplaces a bar of soap.

Another bleak Canucks season has come to a merciful end, as we look back on a slew of controversies that barely even acknowledges how additionally painful it was to actually watch the team play. Plus, the guys make their quick picks for the playoffs, and go in-depth on which team in the lottery mix actually deserves to land Connor Bedard, which clubs would be tolerable to see him end up with, and who would be the most annoying to see come out on top at this year's draft. Support the show at patreon.com/roxyfever, where $5 a month gets you instant Locker Room Access to our monthly Heritage Minutes. We've got a tribute to John Garrett in the hopper, but in the meantime check out last month's show on Gino Odjick if you haven't already.

The guys give immediate reaction to the breaking news that this is John Garrett's final season calling Canucks games on Sportsnet Pacific, the end of a legendary 20 year run on what is hands down the best regional broadcast in the entire NHL. Then it's time to sound off on another late season winning streak that is seeing the club destroy their own draft odds for no real reason instead of doing the obvious thing and leaning into the skid before righting the ship in the off-season. And finally, while Pride Nights continue to be a big black eye for the league, Luke Prokop and the Seattle Thunderbirds offer hope for a better future.

WARNING: The following podcast was recorded before the Canucks (and the league at large) decided to lose their damn minds ahead of the trade deadline. So don't laugh too much when Jackson says "We'll see what becomes of that" with regards to the Islanders' first round pick. With Vyas finally back from galavanting across Europe, the guys catch up on everything that went down while he was away -- which in the case of the Canucks happens to be A LOT of weird and wild stuff -- so much in fact that you may have already forgotten some of it as your brain clears space to make room for new stuff. It's been a defrag your brain type of season. Anyway, Jackson is back from his honeymoon and the guys will have a reaction pod to the Trade Deadline coming your way before you know it.

The boys reconvene to record an inflation-proof monster episode that covers a number of topics, including Bo Horvat's contract negotiations landing the Canucks captain on the trading block, Roberto Luongo going into the Ring of Honour, getting Kirk-pilled by Jyrki, and Zdeno Chara telling obvious lies about the 2011 Canucks. Plus: Alex Ovechkin scores his 800th goal live as we start recording, so you know we gotta spend a ton of time on him.

The guys reconvene for the first time in a few weeks to discuss a very Canucks-centric Hall of Fame induction ceremony as the Sedin twins and Roberto Luongo headline the 2022 class. That, combined with Kevin Bieksa's recent one-day stint around the team before retiring, put the focus on the level of professionalism and dedication that used to be embodied by that orca sweater, and what this owner has really created while wasting millions in cap space on so-called culture carriers. Plus, Vyas wonders if Quinn Hughes has plateaued, and continues to bang the drum on trading Demko.

The guys walk Vyas through the scoresheet of the Canucks/Habs game he just missed while he takes wild stabs in a game we'll call Guess The Narrative. Then the guys do a little catch-up on the Ethan Bear trade that went down right after we recorded our last episode, and attempt to analyze the utterly bizarre public feud brewing between the Canucks' President and their Coach. And as we can't go a week without being enormously let down by hockey and its institutions, Mitchell Miller is handed a contract by the Bruins that they immediately cancel after obvious backlash.

Recorded during Thursday's 5-4 win over the Seattle Kraken, the guys discuss the team's historic seven-game losing streak to open the season -- at a time when they'd yet to pick up their first win. As the sky is falling to begin the year, we wonder... which way from here? After a decade of short-sighted and misguided shortcuts to dodge the pain required to properly build a contender, is there a path toward contention with any of the team's current young players? And if there isn't, then does it really matter what they do at all? Plus: Phil Kessel hits a milestone, leading to a reflection on the most cherished moments of his wildly amusing career.

Born in Nigeria, moving to Canada at age four, and learning piano at age six, there was concern that the renowned jazz pianist wasn't adjusting well in school. His mom decided to enroll him in music lessons. At Dixon Hall, a community centre down the street from where Thompson grew up in Toronto's Regent Park neighbourhood, he was able to take piano lessons at two dollars a session. Growing up in subsidized government development area of Toronto, Thompson was inspired by Dixon Hall's mission to build a musical school gave neighborhood kids access of affordable music lessons. Thompson went on to earn degrees in music from Humber College, and music production at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and has released numerous works and collaborating with some of the world's most renowned artists. In 2021, Thompson portrayed a young Oscar Peterson in an episode of Historica Canada's Heritage Minute, honouring the artist's life and career. While he was set to cross the pond for a recording opportunity at Abbey Road Studios in London, UK, Thompson was still able to proceed in Toronto to write and record Oddly Familiar – an album released and archived with Audio Network's sync library.

Kandyse McClure's filmography is populated by a staggering range of characters. On the critically acclaimed and beloved Battlestar Galactica, Kandyse portrayed Anastasia “Dee” Dualla, a passionate woman who fought, loved, dreamt, and, ultimately, succumbed to despair. As Nicte Batan in the third and final season of Motherland: Fort Salem, she wrestled with her character's past as a terrorist while forging unexpected alliances. As Sam in Neill Blomkamp's wildly entertaining horror film Demonic, she embodied the stuff of nightmares; and as Golden Eyes in the genre-defying feature film Sew the Winter to My Skin – a role for which she was nominated for an African Movie Academy Award – she somehow managed to speak volumes about the impact of oppression on humanity without actually speaking many words at all. Other recent work includes GenZeroes (the cutting-edge project championed by friend of the pod Aleks Paunovic), Charmed, Limetown, the bonkers Netflix series Ghost Wars, and a standout role as Viola Desmond, the entrepreneur who challenged segregation in Nova Scotia in the 1940s, in an iconic Heritage Minute. The projects and roles are wildly different, but the thread that unites them is the humanity, authenticity, and conviction that Kandyse brings to each one. In this riveting episode of the YVR Screen Scene Podcast, Kandyse reflects on her journey from South Africa at 11 years old, grieving Dee, moving into her “villain era,” and dancing in her trailer.Content warning: This episode contains frank talk about suicide.

Steve Simon is what I am calling the in-house AFA historian at the AOG. He writes many of the historical articles in Checkpoints as well as stars in the Heritage Minute videos produced by the AOG.  He grew up an AF brat on the enlisted side, was a football team manager all four years as a cadet, and chose missiles upon graduation.  While stationed at FE Warren Steve ran several marathons and was selected as a torch bearer for the 1980 Winter Olympics where he got to attend the "Miracle on Ice."  

In a twist worthy of O Henry, Vyas is away writing the bar exam the week we get heavy into legal proceedings. Bit of a heavy show this week as the guys discuss the myriad sexual assault lawsuits unfolding right across hockey, including Hockey Canada, Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz, and former Vancouver Canuck forward Jake Virtanen. But don't worry, before all that they're joined by Nation Network commander-in-chief David Quadrelli for a light and funny discussion of the Canucks' inaction on their many pressing needs, how the team fared at the draft, Johnny Hockey's exit out of Alberta, and of course, the three stances every goalie must know: standing, hunching, and crouching.

The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was a delta-winged interceptor aircraft designed and built by Avro Canada. The CF-105 held the promise of Mach 2 speeds at altitudes exceeding 50,000 feet and was intended to serve as the Royal Canadian Air Force's primary interceptor into the 1960s and beyond. But a host of political and financial issues grounded this extraordinary plane before it had a chance to take to the skies. This week, Grace and Linnea explore the strange history of the Arrow and ask "Why are people so nostalgic for it?" Hunter Scholey of the North of Normal Podcast contributed to this episode by providing a history of the Arrow miniseries (1997) that the Heritage Minute was pulled from. North of Normal invites a different guest bi-weekly to come and discuss Canadian films, their impact, and what they say about Canada. Check it out here!Avro Arrow Heritage MinuteMinute Women
