This week, director Chloe Robichaud – whose charming, spiky new comedy Two Women is now playing in Toronto and Montreal, and expandng to Vancouver on Friday – celebrates Jean-Marc Vallee's 2011 masterwork Cafe de Flore, in which the late director shuffled and remixed two different love stories in two different time periods like the brilliant DJ he was. Your genial host Norm Wilner got a little choked up on this one.

The NFL is reportedly looking into creating a division in Europe, but that might be a step too far. Odell Beckham Jr. never wanted to leave the Giants, or his star status. Plus, tales from Vancouver on the FSR IR.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 20 — Neil from Arroyo GrandeHey, it's jD, and this week I'm joined by a die-hard hockey fan and Hip convert who hails from California. Meet Neil from Arroyo Grande, the west coast wizard of late-night YouTube rabbit holes and deep-cut reverence.Neil didn't grow up with The Hip in his backyard. He had to find them — through hockey, through Trailer Park Boys, through a fascination with Canadian culture that led him down a road paved with Gretzky, Jericho, and yes… Gord.We talk about getting into the band via Yer Favourites, chasing context across albums and eras, and how discovering The Hip opened the door to new perspectives on art, identity, and memory. He shares what it's like being an American Hip fan (“Wait, they're not on the radio here?”), and how Phantom Power, Man Machine Poem, and some Gordon Edgar Downie solo magic helped him through hard times — and made the music his own.From WWE finishers to vapor trails to songs that hit like Shakespearean tragedy, this one's for the late bloomers, the lyric heads, and anyone who ever found themselves singing along to a song they didn't fully understand… until they really did.

This week spring has sprung while Erin is in Vancouver, Bryan gives us a review of Salome at The Met, and we ponder whether the "Gen" in Gen X, and Gen Z is referring to private parts. Bryan informs us about the pending Supreme Court case of mandated coverage for preventative care which could affect access to PrEP, STI testing and cancer screenings. Erin takes down current toxic masculinity trends, like Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee thinking drinking out of a straw is feminine, and an odd trend of men shaving off their eyelashes to appear more manly.

Arnab Deka lives in Vancouver and loves the Pacific Northwest. He was never formally educated in computer science or software engineering - in fact, while he was studying civil engineering, he fell in love with building things and eventually, building software. Outside of tech, he is a family man and loves to sup with them and his dog. He also enjoys astronomy, and is known to attend a star party or 2, with his telescope in hand.Arnab took a sabbatical from work, and on this journey, he realized that he liked deep work and interacting with customers directly - as opposed to high level strategy and planning. He met with his now co-founder in 2022, walking then Seattle lake front, and realized what podcast junkies they both were - and they decided to build something for it.This is the creation story of Metacast.SponsorsPaddle.comSema SoftwarePropelAuthLinkshttps://metacast.app/https://www.linkedin.com/in/or9ob/Our Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com* Check out Vanta: https://vanta.com/CODESTORYSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Playoffs are heating up

On this week's episode of the official I Die: You Die podcast, we welcome Barrett and Panther from Bootblacks, who gave us the skinny on their excellent forthcoming LP Paradise on a windy but very scenic day in Vancouver a few weeks back. Details on their recent lineup changes, the genesis of the record and their goals in making it, as well as their philosophy on performance and what they want to get across on stage and on record are all touched on during what we think was an insightful and entertaining chat. Also, Alex gives his scorching hot review of the Ministry show he attended this week (it was good).

Vancouver city council unanimously approved a motion to look at finding locations and funding for accessible public washrooms. Locations would be at high traffic areas, including near public transit. Vancouver Green Party Coun. Pete Fry joins the show to explain the motion.

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Round Table TwoSongs #40–21 | Live Streamed May 23, 2025Every ten songs, we hit pause on the countdown and bring the community to the mic. This is Round Table Two — a live-streamed, unfiltered, and occasionally unhinged group chat about all things Tragically Hip. In this installment, we turn our attention to the middle meat of the countdown: songs ranked #40 through #21, where the debates get louder, the takes get spicier, and the stakes feel weirdly personal.I'm your host, jD, joined by four of the most thoughtful and opinionated Hip fans I know: Chris Sinclair, Jeff Schnurr, Craig Rogers, and Sara J. Together, we dissect the placements, praise the sleepers, question the darlings, and throw a few punches (with love) at the songs we think missed their mark.Here's what you can expect inside this episode:Jeff from Vaughan can't believe We Want to Be It and You're Not the Ocean made it this far — especially when Don't Wake Daddy is chilling down at #41. He's got opinions, and he's not afraid to name names.Sara J celebrates the perfection of matchups — how the right guests landed the right songs in uncanny fashion — and gives a heartfelt shoutout to Sherry and her beautiful number symphony around Long Time Running.Craig from Vancouver argues he'd flip the entire list upside down if he could, with Three Pistols and We Want to Be It trading places. He also reflects on how playing in a tribute band changes how you hear — and feel — a song.Chris from Guelph shares his emotional milestone: the moment Saturday Night Live introduced him to The Hip and forever changed the trajectory of his fandom. He also lists five songs in this range he'd swap out for deep cuts like Dire Wolf, Opiated, and Morning Moon.We talk bridges (and how Bobcaygeon might have the greatest one of all time), overplayed classics (Boots or Hearts vs. Grace, Too), and bold predictions for what's still to come.And me? I mostly try to wrangle the chaos, play devil's advocate, and float the idea that no one will be able to predict the Top 5 in the right order — not even me, and I've seen the data.This is not your average podcast episode. It's a jam session. A group therapy night. A barstool conversation happening in real time. And like all good round tables, it ends in laughter, hot takes, side quests, and one bold prediction from every guest.Here's a sneak peek at just a few of the quotes you'll hear:

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Kimberly Mitchell to emphasize that mental health recovery is personal, requires self-compassion, and is possible through conscious effort, self-reflection, and a commitment to personal growth.

We grow up being told things, Kimberly Mitchell  17:01 I'll tell you, really, what it comes from is the knowledge, the awareness that I am in control of my entire experience. Manon Bolliger  in Bowen College, the methodology has a structure to it, and it really made me think how, when people learn and start they they're fundamentally following the structure, and as the practitioner becomes more intuitive,   ABOUT KIMBERLY MITCHELL: Kimberly Mitchell is a mental health advocate, veteran, and transformational leader dedicated to empowering individuals and small businesses. Growing up in a household where independence was a necessity, she excelled academically, earning numerous awards, including the Citizenship Medal from the Daughters of the American Revolution. Her resilience was tested when she lost her father at 16, but she channeled her determination into service, enlisting in the Air Force. As the only woman in her Vehicle Maintenance training class, she set a new standard by earning the highest test scores and later served in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, achieving the rank of E-4 Sergeant. Transitioning into civilian life, Kimberly pursued a career in training and leadership development, working across multiple industries, from technology rollouts to government initiatives. She played a pivotal role in the 2010 Census Project, leading the development of training materials for the first-ever digital data collection. Her work with the Rochester Schools Modernization Program led to the creation of an innovative small business training initiative, impacting local entrepreneurs and serving as a model for other municipalities. Simultaneously, she explored entrepreneurship, running event planning and photo booth businesses before pivoting to a thriving six-figure training business. Despite professional success, Kimberly faced personal challenges that led to a transformative self-discovery journey. Seeking answers through the VA health system, she was diagnosed with mild depression, which became the catalyst for developing the Journey to Joy Personal Transformation System. This breakthrough allowed her to reclaim her happiness, reinforcing her belief that joy is a powerful force for change. Now, she dedicates her time to helping others break free from limiting beliefs and external dependencies, ensuring they recognize their own potential. A founding member of the Greater Rochester Black Business Alliance and an active board member of ROCEDC, Kimberly is deeply committed to community development. She believes that self-sufficiency and joy are the keys to transformation, a message she amplifies through her training programs, mentorship, and advocacy. Living in a community once defined by industrial success and now marked by economic struggle, she is determined to inspire others to reclaim their power and create the life they desire. Her personal mission remains simple yet profound: to make a positive impact on people she may never meet.

Frank and Jason kicked off today's episode of The DFO Rundown by talking about the first Trade Targets list of the summer that dropped earlier this week.They started at the top of the list with Sabres forward JJ Peterka, who is a pending RFA. How could the Sabres move on from Peterka and improve at the same time? The guys discussed that and a hypothetical deal involving Marco Rossi, who is also in Frank's top five.From there, they talked about a few of the defensemen on the list, starting with Rasmus Andersson and his future with the Flames and then they had a big discussion about what the Pittsburgh Penguins could do with Erik Karlsson. If the Penguins were willing to retain a significant portion of his salary, would there be a market for the former 100-point defenseman? Gregor found a spot that he thinks make a lot of sense. They also touched on Jamie Oleksiak of the Seattle Kraken, who is entering the final year of his deal.Tyler then joined for Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the Rangers situation with Chris Kreider, the Kraken selling off assets, Demko's future in Vancouver, and Sam Bennett's case to be a $10m player.The guys then turned their attention to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Oilers got a big win in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final but it came at a brutal cost as they lost Zach Hyman for the remainder of the postseason. They talked about how the Oilers will adjust their lineup and how much losing Hyman impacts their Stanley Cup chances.1:20 - JJ Peterka & The Sabres5:00 - Rossi for Peterka?11:25 - Rasmus Andersson & The Flames15:20 - Karlsson's future in Pittsburgh28:10 - Buy or Sell (Kreider, the Kraken, & Demko)38:30 - Oilers lose HymanWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

Humans used fire as a tool. Now we fear its destruction. But we're responsible for changing the climate, argues John Vailliant, "in a way that favours fire way more than it favours us." The Vancouver author unpacks how fire made humans who we are — and how humans are changing fire in his award-winning book, Fire Weather: The Making of a Beast.*This episode originally aired on May 29, 2024.

Loneliness rates have doubled since the 1980s and Vivek Murthy, former US Surgeon General, says loneliness will be the next major epidemic. So if loneliness is being alone and sad … then what's being alone and happy? Solitude. A few years ago, I picked up an incredible book called '​Solitude​' by Michael Harris, bestselling author and winner of the Governor General's Award for his writing. It completely blew me away. Why? Because in our era of endless machine-gun blasts at our brains, I feel strongly that the ability to be alone, and to be alone well, is a muscle that is quickly atrophying. Michael shares why we need to develop the strength and capacity to live and be by ourselves and how exactly we go about cultivating a rich interior life. Michael has gone on to tackle our culture of consumerism in his 2021 book '​All We Want: Building the Life We Cannot Buy​,' and I think after this conversation you'll agree this true “strength of mind” is a crucial aspect of living an intentional life as we face the threat of social and climate collapse. For this classic chapter of 3 Books, I flew to Michael's home in Vancouver, BC. We discuss: How do we cultivate the area between wakefulness and sleep? What does a healthy media diet look like? Why shouldn't you talk about anything serious over texts? And how do parents and children navigate the conversation about coming out of the closet? And, of course, Michael's 3 most formative books... Let's flip the page back to Chapter 29 now...

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with author Gina Leola Woolsey about her stunning biography, Fifteen Thousand Pieces (Guernica Editions, 2023).  On Wednesday, September 2nd, 1998, an international flight carrying 229 souls crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nova Scotia. There were no survivors. By Friday, Sept 4th, thousands of dismembered body parts had come through Dr. John Butt's makeshift morgue in Hangar B at the Shearwater military base. The Chief Medical Examiner faced the most challenging and grisly task of his career. Five years prior to the plane crash, John had lost his prestigious job as Alberta's Chief Medical Examiner. After 14 years of marriage, John began to think of himself as gay, but remained closeted professionally. Then, after serving a handful of years as Nova Scotia's Chief Medical Examiner, the devastating crash in Nova Scotia cracked his carefully constructed façade. Fifteen Thousand Pieces explores one man's journey to accept his true nature and find his place in the world. Chapters alternate between the fast-paced story of the crash, and the history of the man in the making. It is both fast-paced and introspective; gruesome and touching. Ultimately, it is the story of how death teaches us to live.

Field Sketches is a personal film that grew from Director/Writer/Producer Carl Bessai's filmmaking journey.  After a life of making films, what matters most to a person?  Carl, a long-time resident of Toronto now based in Vancouver, BC, sharing time between Toronto and Los Angeles, is thrilled to bring his twentieth film to Toronto.   Nine of Carl's feature films have screened at TIFF, including Johnny, Lola, Emile, Unnatural & Accidental, Normal, Mothers & Daughters, Cole, Repeaters and Sisters & Brothers.  Former TIFF programmer Steve Gravestock will be the talk-back host for the Q&A after the film. Field Sketches Toronto Theatrical Premiere at the Revue Cinema will screen on Wednesday, June 11th, 2025, at 6:45 PM with the cast and director in attendance. Peter (Vincent Gale), a middle-aged architect whose business and personal life are imploding, has been trying to return to his creative roots as an architect.  His successful partnership with his college friend Bruce (David Cubitt) has left him feeling like he can no longer find the art in his creative practice.  With nothing left to hold him in the city, Peter decides to move to his family farm and spend the winter in Saskatchewan.

Then, after serving a handful of years as Nova Scotia's Chief Medical Examiner, the devastating crash in Nova Scotia cracked his carefully constructed façade. Fifteen Thousand Pieces explores one man's journey to accept his true nature and find his place in the world. Chapters alternate between the fast-paced story of the crash, and the history of the man in the making. It is both fast-paced and introspective; gruesome and touching. Ultimately, it is the story of how death teaches us to live.

There were no survivors. By Friday, Sept 4th, thousands of dismembered body parts had come through Dr. John Butt's makeshift morgue in Hangar B at the Shearwater military base.

The past week saw a surge in energy-related political developments in Canada. Prime Minister Carney issued a unified Mandate Letter to his cabinet on May 21, 2025, emphasizing that Canada “must build an enormous amount of new infrastructure at speeds not seen in generations. This includes the infrastructure to diversify our trading relationships; to become an energy superpower in both clean and conventional energies.” The newly appointed Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, delivered a constructive message during his visit to Calgary, highlighting the importance of building energy infrastructure, including oil and gas. Meanwhile, the Premiers from Western Canada convened a meeting in Yellowknife. They released a joint statement agreeing to plan and develop an economic corridor for “transporting oil and gas, liquefied natural gas, uranium, electricity, and hydroelectricity to Canadian and world markets.” To discuss these developments, we are joined by our guest, The Honourable Gordon Campbell, President of Hawksmuir International Partners Limited. He is the former Premier of British Columbia (2001–2011), Canadian High Commissioner to the UK and Northern Ireland (2011–2016), and Mayor of Vancouver (1986–1993). Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter posed to The Honourable Gordon Campbell: Based on the Carney government's constructive comments on energy infrastructure and attracting private investment, including the Energy and Natural Resources Minister's trip to Calgary last week, would you anticipate a new approach from the Liberals compared to the previous decade? The Western Premiers issued a joint statement to develop economic corridors, including those for transporting electricity, natural gas, and oil. What types of projects do you expect David Eby's NDP government to support in British Columbia?  Would you expect the Federal government to revise or repeal energy policies, particularly those that might deter capital investment, such as the industrial carbon pricing policy set to increase to $170 per tonne by 2030 or the oil and gas emissions cap? Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

What a CreepSeason 29, Episode 7Former CEO & Founder of LululemonChip Wilson, the founder and former CEO of Lululemon Athletica, has been involved in several controversies over the years, primarily due to his public statements and views on body image, diversity, and labor practices.  His issues range from concerns about body image and product quality to his opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.Additionally, he has faced criticism for purchasing large areas of the Vancouver region, which led to increased rents and the displacement of artists and small businesses. The company's name also has origins that some consider to be racist.  While his actions and statements have many troubling aspects, it's essential to acknowledge that he is Canadian, which implies a certain level of decency.He has also been a benefactor for his homeland, so he isn't 100% total  Creep—there might be some opportunity for growth!Wilson was diagnosed with a subtype of muscular dystrophy called facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy at age 32.
