Read transcriptAbout This Episode: What would happen if a newly elected Premier of Ontario was forced to live on minimum wage? That's the provocative (and deeply funny) question at the heart of Minimum, the political satire written and performed by Victoria Sullivan. After winning Best in Venue at the 2025 Hamilton Fringe Festival, Victoria is bringing the show to Toronto Fringe, and the timing couldn't feel more apt. Victoria is an actor, playwright, and producer based in Hamilton, working under the banner of Be Victorious (and sometimes the Intergalactic Federation of Space Beers - it's a long story). She holds a master's degree from TMU, where her Dante-inspired thesis project Daniel T's Inferno Latte became a critically lauded Fringe hit. With four consecutive Fringe runs under her belt, she knows what it takes to make a show land; and she's ready to find out how Toronto audiences respond to political absurdism in the current climate. This episode explores: How the experience of moving to Toronto and working for minimum wage sparked the idea for Minimum Why Victoria chose a fictional premier over the actual Premier and what creative freedom that decision unlocked Returning to a show with the same cast but a new director, and what that reinvestigation revealed The changing landscape of Fringe marketing - from flyering lineups to social media ads - and what actually works And much more!

What happens to the stories of residential school survivors if they are never preserved, and is Canada prepared to let them disappear? With a Supreme Court deadline approaching that could see thousands of survivor testimonies destroyed unless individuals act, we examine why many people remain unaware of the clock running out and what is at stake if those records are lost. Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Connie Walker, host of Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's and lead of the Indian Residential School Records Project at Toronto Metropolitan University, explains the push to build a permanent national archive. We then turn to Red Dress Day and the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two Spirit people. Storyteller and educator Carolyn Roberts joins us to discuss her new children's book, "Tess's Red Dress," and how it helps families and classrooms confront a reality that is still unfolding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And with governments only just starting to talk about regulating social media for teens, are we as a society ready for the tidal wave that will be when AI is fully integrated? Host Mike Eppel speaks with Professor Richard Lachman from the RTA school of media at Toronto Metropolitan University to discuss what Ottawa can do and what Canadians could expect.

This latest episode of the Courage My Friends podcast series features "The Radical Labour of Care" panel discussion with: Indigenous midwife, leader, and educator, Claire Dion Fletcher; crisis outreach worker, case manager, and advocate in Toronto's Downtown East, Lorraine Lam; and program director of the Latinx Womyn's Program at the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape, Grissel Orellana. It is moderated by Eliza Chandler, associate professor in the School of Disability Studies and executive director of the Office of Social Innovation at Toronto Metropolitan University. This latest session of TMU's Transformation Café series was hosted at the 34th annual Labour Fair at George Brown Polytechnic. Under this year's Labour Fair theme, "Building a Working Peoples' City," the panel discussed the essential, but undervalued labour of care, interventions in the increasingly inaccessible, unaffordable and hostile city and building practices of mutual aid, community safety and collective survival toward caring and liveable cities. Fletcher explains: "My work is very grounded in an Indigenous feminist perspective, and that self-determination of our nations cannot be fully realized unless all members of our nations are included.And that means we must address the gendered nature of colonization. And that sovereignty of our nations cannot happen without sovereignty of our bodies. And so this has led me to a deep commitment to reproductive justice" According to Lam: "The root of care for me is really about compassion.And the original Latin meaning of the word compassion comes from two different words ... "to suffer" and "with." And so for me, the radical root of care … is really about compassion, which is different from pity. 'Cause you can walk by someone and have pity on them. You can have sympathy for them. You might even get empathy for them. But the goal is really about: what does it mean to suffer with? And I think that's what pushes us towards thinking about solidarity." Orellana says: "The frontline work as labour, it's so devalued. When we're doing so much caring, so much support, so much healing going on, so much advocacy … And I find it difficult … I mean, I've been working in the field for a long time. But more Latin American people are coming in. And every time I sit down with a person it is like when I came here 38 years ago, it's the story over and over again … But we are all needed, needed, needed. We're all important and beautiful." About today's guests: Eliza Chandler (she/her) is an associate professor in the School of Disability Studies and executive director of the Office of Social Innovation at Toronto Metropolitan University whose work is grounded in disability arts.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 18 Agustus 2025Bacaan: "Dan berkata-katalah seorang kepada yang lain dalam mazmur kidung puji- pujian dan nyanyian rohani. Bernyanyi dan bersoraklah bagi Tuhan dengan segenap hati. (Efesus 5:19)Renungan: Suatu ketika ada seseorang yang sedang menunggu operasi bypass jantung. Ia mengetahui banyak orang meninggal ketika menjalani operasi ini. Ketika ia memikirkan tentang hal-hal buruk yang mungkin terjadi, ia merasa Ketakutan dan kesepian. Lalu seorang petugas rumah sakit masuk ke kamar untuk membawanya ke ruang operasi. Sambil mendorong ranjang si pasien, sang petugas muda tersebut menyenandungkan lagu rohani hymne Iriandia kuno, "Kaulah ya Tuhan, surya hidupku. Asal Kau ada, yang lain tak perlu. Siang dan malam Engkau kukenang. Di hadira-tMu jiwaku tenang." Senandung ini mengingatkan si pasien tentang padang rumput hijau dan reruntuhan batu kuno di Irlandia tempat kelahirannya. Hymne tersebut memenuhi jiwanya seperti angin segar dari kampung halaman. Setelah tiba di luar ruang operasi, si pasien mengucapkan terima kasih kepada si petugas karena telah menyenandungkan hymne tersebut. Lalu la berkata kepada petugas muda tersebut. "Allah telah memakaimu hari ini untuk melepaskanku dari ketakutan dan menyegarkan jiwaku." Si petugas muda bertanya padanya, "Apa yang telah kulakukan?" Pasien tersebut menjawab, "Senandungmu mendekatkanku kepada Allah sehingga aku tidak takut untuk dioperasi bypass jantung hari ini." Pernahkah kita merasa khawatir, cemas, takut, gelisah dan kemudian kita menyanyikan sebuah lagu rohani dan hati kita menjadi lega dan sukacita? Itulah salah satu cara Tuhan memulihkan jiwa kita melalui lagu pujian. Kalau hari ini kita melihat orang-orang yang kita kenal sedang bersusah hati, senandungkanlah salah satu lagu rohani dengan penuh ketulusan hati, maka kuasa Allah akan mengalir melalui suara dan lagu kita. Sehingga kalau kita pernah mengalami sukacita karenanya, maka orang lain akan mengalaminya. Marilah kita mulai melayani Tuhan dengan kidung pujian yang keluar dari mulut kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena Engkau telah bertakhta di atas puji-pujian. Mampukan aku untuk senantiasa menyenandungkan lagu rohani setiap saat, sehingga kuasa-Mu dapat mengalir secara penuh untuk menguduskan diriku. Amin. (Dod).

In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast… In today's landscape of fundraising, where pressure and performance often obscure purpose, value alignment is more crucial than ever. Restorative philanthropy, embedded in authenticity, mutual respect, and shared purposes, can transform donor relationships and support healthier, more sustainable practices. Rather than centering persuasion, fundraisers can focus on clarity and connection and build trust through honest conversations. This approach not only boosts the impact but also protects fundraisers against burnout, allowing organizations to invest in relationships that truly reflect their values. Tanya Rumble is an inclusive fundraising and restorative philanthropy thought leader, award-winning executive director of development, facilitator, researcher, writer, and speaker. Tanya possesses nearly 15 years of experience in leading high-performing teams to raise millions for respected institutions and was recognized as one of Canada's top 100 most powerful women in 2023. She currently works as the executive director of development for University-Wide Initiatives at TMU. She joined us today to talk about the importance of values alignment in fundraising relationships. In this episode, you will be able to: - Learn the importance of an abundance mindset and shared values. - Discover the role of restorative philanthropy in building honest, value-aligned relationships. - Learn how to balance the fundraising ecosystem. - Learn about the burnout, stress, uncertainty, rejection, isolation, and power dynamics experienced by fundraisers.
