Podcasts about Young Canadians

Young Canadians are entering one of the toughest summer job markets amid a ‘technical recession’ — How’s your experience?Did the old school playground teach you how to be a good risk taker?GUESTS: Florence Bergeron - CEO of the Students Commission of Canada Mike Wilner - Toronto Star columnist and host of the podcast Deep Left Field

Government budgets shape how we live – and how we feel. The consequences of government policy choices can be seen in new research on happiness. While, baby boomers remain relatively happy, the average life satisfaction of Canadians under age 30 is in steep decline. Gen Squeeze founder, Dr. Paul Kershaw unpacks why young Canadians are increasingly miserable and what we can do about it.

On this episode of The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian closes the show with a powerful commentary titled “Canada's Problem.” Stepping back from the daily headlines, Brian examines a deeper national question: how can a country with so many advantages feel increasingly stuck? Canada possesses extraordinary strengths — vast natural resources, political stability, educated citizens, energy abundance, and strong global credibility. Yet despite those advantages, productivity is stagnating, housing affordability is collapsing, infrastructure projects face endless delays, and public trust in institutions continues to erode. Young Canadians are increasingly questioning whether hard work still leads to stability, home ownership, and upward mobility. Meanwhile, political frustration is growing across the country, including rising separatist sentiment in Alberta and widening regional divisions. In this commentary, Brian explores Canada's productivity crisis, housing dysfunction, energy paralysis, wealth inequality, and declining confidence in leadership and execution. His conclusion is direct: Canada's challenge is not a lack of opportunity or potential — it is a failure to execute.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Statistics Canada's latest labour force survey, which shows that full-time employment fell by 47,000 in April, pushing the unemployment rate to 6.9 percent and youth unemployment to 14.3 percent. They examine these recent trends, especially their impact on younger Canadians, and question whether current immigration levels remain appropriate given AI's disruption of entry-level employment. They also explore the disconnect between immigration policy and economic realities, arguing for a more formulaic approach that responds to labour market conditions rather than political considerations.The Hub is Canada's fastest-growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaSubscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple) https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify) Want more Hub?

Stephen LeDrew speaks with John Turley-Ewart, contributing columnist with The Globe and Mail, about a troubling question: What Happened to the Canadian Dream?For decades, Canada was built on the promise of peace, order,and good government — but today, many Canadians feel that promise is slipping away.Turley-Ewart points to rising cost of living, housing unaffordability, capital flight, and weak economic growth as signs that the country's social contract is breaking down.Young Canadians are struggling to buy homes, businesses are investing elsewhere, and more families are relying on food banks despite years of increased government spending.With Mark Carney now leading the country, the question becomes whether Canada can reverse course — or whether the trends that began during the Trudeau years will continue.Is the Canadian Dream still alive — or has it already slipped away?Three Minutes.

Young Canadians are now less happy than seniors, and the gap is getting worse.The latest World Happiness Report shows Canadians under 30 have fallen to 71st in the world for life satisfaction, while Canada's overall ranking has dropped from 5th to 25th. In this episode, Mike Moffatt and Cara Stern break down what's driving the decline — from housing affordability and falling “option freedom” to expectations, social media, and why the drop is concentrated in countries like Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Australia.We also explain how the World Happiness Report actually works, why expectations matter as much as income, and what policy choices may be making young Canadians feel like they're playing by a different set of rules.Chapters00:00 Intro: The U-Shape of Happiness and Midlife Crisis00:51 Canada's New Phenomenon: Young Adults Are Less Happy01:48 From 5th to 25th: Canada's Global Happiness Ranking03:00 How Happiness is Measured: The Gallup Poll Ladder Question04:43 The Fundamental Equation of Happiness: Expectations vs. Reality06:11 Canada's Mixed Ratings: Inequality and "Option Freedom"07:18 Social Media's Impact: Passive vs. Communication Platforms08:50 The Real Solution: Fixing Middle Class Housing and Policy ChoicesResearch/links:World Happiness Report 2026 | The World Happiness Reporthttps://www.worldhappiness.report/ed/2026/Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina MaddeauxProduced by Meredith MartinThis podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

A new study shows the number of young Canadians treated for self-harm has more than doubled in the last 25 years. Montreal filmmaker Alex Anna talks about her own experience with self-harming and how it shaped how she saw herself as a teen.

The federal government is investing up to $27 million to help young Canadians get hands-on experience in agriculture and agri-food jobs.  Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Heath MacDonald announced the funding for the Youth Employment and Skills Program at the Atlantic Grains Council Cereals and Oilseeds 2026 conference earlier this month.  The funding covers two years, from 2026 to 2028, including nearly $13.5 million for the 2026-27 program year. 

Times are tough for many Canadians, and for young Canadians, it may sometimes seem next to impossible to make ends meet. A survey from IG Wealth Management shows the landscape for young people is changing because employee pension plans are disappearing – which means the need to save more. Host Kris McCusker speaks to Aurèle Courcelles, Vice-President of Tax and Estate Planning about how to get the process started – and why an expert could be key to your success.

It's Thursday, January 22nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese-American Christians pray for those in China Chinese-American Christians are praying for their persecuted brothers and sisters back in China. Earlier this month, Harvest Chinese Christian Church in Los Angeles held an event called “Fasting Prayer Meeting for Persecuted Churches in China.” The event comes shortly after Chinese authorities detained the leaders of Early Rain Covenant Church. The congregation, like many “unregistered” churches in China, faces relentless persecution. International Christian Concern commented, “Please pray for these house church members in China, especially those who have been imprisoned or are missing after the police raids.” 1 Corinthians 12:26 says, “If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.” China's birth rate plunged to a record low in 2025 Speaking of China, the country's birth rates plunged to a record low in 2025. New data from China's National Bureau of Statistics found there were 7.92 million births last year, down 17% from 2024. The birth rate in 2025 was 5.63 per 1,000 people. Meanwhile, the death rate rose to 8.04 per 1,000 people. Despite China's recent attempts to incentivize families to have children, the population has now fallen for the fourth consecutive year. In Genesis 1:28, God commanded, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the Earth and subdue it.” British Christian nurse vindicated for calling a man “Mister” In the United Kingdom, a National Health Service hospital recently dropped its case against a Christian nurse. Jennifer Melle worked at St. Helier Hospital in south London. She faced suspension after referring to a man, pretending to be a woman, as “Mister.” Listen to comments she made after her vindication. MELLE: “I am deeply relieved and grateful to hear that St Helier [Hospital] has confirmed it would no longer take further action against me. This has been an incredibly long and painful journey.   “Today, I want to give thanks, first and foremost, to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has sustained me every step of the way.” Young Canadians are planning to vote conservative Young adults in Canada are planning to vote conservative in the country's next election. A survey by Abacus Data found 50% of Canadians aged 18 to 29 would vote for the Conservative Party. Only 27% of that demographic would vote for the Liberal Party. The strongest support for the Liberals comes from people over 60. A decade of liberal polices has led to higher living costs, higher inflation, and higher taxes. Trump: “I will not use force” to get Greenland Yesterday, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.  Notably, he announced that the United States would not use force to acquire Greenland. TRUMP: “We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won't do that. Okay. Now everyone's saying, ‘Oh, good!' “That's probably the biggest statement I've made because people thought I would use force. I don't have to use force. I don't want to use force. I won't use force.” President Trump also announced he will not be imposing tariffs on Denmark over the acquisition of Greenland. He wrote on Truth Social, “We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region.” Arrests coming for Minneapolis leftists who invaded church service The Trump administration is investigating anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a house of worship in Minneapolis on Sunday. Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, wrote on X, “Arrests coming. … The First Amendment protects speech and peaceful assembly – not rioting. … These agitators will be held accountable.” The Department of Justice is also investigating the incident at Cities Church. Major snowstorm hits East Coast to Rocky Mountains The National Weather Service is expecting a significant winter storm to hit a large portion of the U.S. starting Friday. Heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain is forecast all the way from the southern Rockies to the East Coast.  Much of the U.S. is already experiencing dangerously cold weather. Over 40 million people were under cold weather alerts as of Tuesday. Even parts of Florida are under alert. 463rd anniversary of Heidelberg Catechism And finally, this week marks the 463rd anniversary of the Heidelberg Catechism. The Protestant catechism was commissioned by Frederick III, the ruler of Germany's most influential province of Palatinate. The purpose of the catechism was for instructing the youth and for guiding pastors and teachers The catechism was the product of two young Protestant scholars—Zacharius Ursinus and Caspar Olevianus. The catechism was approved by a church synod in Heidelberg, Germany and published in German on January 19, 1563. It would become the most widely used catechism of the Reformation period.  The catechism's opening question reads, “What is your only comfort in life and death?” The answer begins, “That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul, in life and in death—to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.” Romans 14:8 says, “For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, January 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Canada is slowly starting to become desensitized to crime involving youth - not because it's no longer worrisome, but because it happens more often than not. Why are 13 year old's finding themselves at the centre of homicide investigations? Why are 17 year old's being held on remand and not picking out what post-secondary educational program they want to go into? Are the headlines telling a different story than that of the data? Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dr. Kim Varma, a criminology professor at Toronto Metropolitan University to discuss what we can make of this growing trend of crime headlines surrounding youth teens, and how all corners of society are responsible from keeping youth from getting acquainted with the justice system. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstoryfpn on Twitter

Home ownership among young Canadians (under age 35) has recently surged to 44%, the highest level in five decades! 18% of them are mortgage-free. Generation Squeeze founder, Dr. Paul Kershaw, and AI host Jenna discuss how Canada may be drifting from a meritocracy toward a landed aristocracy, where access to secure housing increasingly depends on being born into the right family.

A growing majority of Canadians say they are proud of their country, including a huge boost in national pride from young adults. The Carney government has backed away from the Digital Services Tax after President Trump publicly threatened to end trade negotiations. The byelection in Battle River—Crowfoot has been called, likely delivering Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre back to Parliament in August.

Welcome to the unofficial Canadian summer job program. The first (and only) step: getting ghosted by every prospective employer. A B.C.-founded company was one of the stock market's biggest winners yesterday as it promises to do the near-impossible: deliver non-hypothetical uses for quantum computing.

Young voters aren't known for high turnout on polling day, but some hope that'll be different in what they see as a high-stakes election. We speak to three voters about what matters to them in this vote, and why they want their peers to overcome their apathy.

Cold Glitter: The Untold Story of Canadian Glam (Feral House, 2025) uncovers a forgotten yet fascinating chapter on glam rock music and culture...from Canada. Los Angeles-based multi-disciplinary artist Robert Dayton taps his Canadian roots to reveal mind-blowing stories of musicians fighting to be heard. It's a universal story of determined creators striving to make their voices heard. Dayton has spent years researching and interviewing these ground-breaking musicians trapped by geography, colonial mindsets, and the cultural behemoth that is the United States. There's no denying that glam rock was marginalized in Canada. In fact, RCA almost didn't release the 1973 Bowie-produced Lou Reed album "Transformer" in Canada because they didn't see a market for it.  Of course, they were wrong! Young Canadians, like youth around the world, were rebelling against the oppressive conservative mainstream culture and saw themselves in the anything-goes freedom of glam rock. Cold Glitter gets at the reasons why: nature vs. artifice, old world values vs. new freedoms, and how transgressive actions--including gender play--shook the Canadian art establishment to its core. Filled with stories from musicians about what they did to build a career and fight against the old guard controlling the airwaves and stages. Readers everywhere will find solidarity with the all-too-familiar story of artists who were attacked for appearing outrageous and daring to be different. Within the struggle to be fabulous are mind-blowing anecdotes of fun and mayhem. Readers will be taken back to the seventies as they meet the unknown and infamous musicians and artists who dared to be glamorous. Familiar names like magician Doug Henning, Vancouver band Sweeney Todd and their lead singer and one-hit-wonder, Nik Gilder, and his replacement, Bryan Adams, to underground heroes like the Hollywood Brats to hundreds of musicians who put away their mascara and left their glamorous wild days behind. Cold Glitter is filled with rare (and sometimes outrageous) images throughout and additional chapters on glam fashion, film, and comedy in Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.

In fact, RCA almost didn't release the 1973 Bowie-produced Lou Reed album "Transformer" in Canada because they didn't see a market for it.  Of course, they were wrong! Young Canadians, like youth around the world, were rebelling against the oppressive conservative mainstream culture and saw themselves in the anything-goes freedom of glam rock. Cold Glitter gets at the reasons why: nature vs. artifice, old world values vs. new freedoms, and how transgressive actions--including gender play--shook the Canadian art establishment to its core. Filled with stories from musicians about what they did to build a career and fight against the old guard controlling the airwaves and stages. Readers everywhere will find solidarity with the all-too-familiar story of artists who were attacked for appearing outrageous and daring to be different. Within the struggle to be fabulous are mind-blowing anecdotes of fun and mayhem. Readers will be taken back to the seventies as they meet the unknown and infamous musicians and artists who dared to be glamorous. Familiar names like magician Doug Henning, Vancouver band Sweeney Todd and their lead singer and one-hit-wonder, Nik Gilder, and his replacement, Bryan Adams, to underground heroes like the Hollywood Brats to hundreds of musicians who put away their mascara and left their glamorous wild days behind. Cold Glitter is filled with rare (and sometimes outrageous) images throughout and additional chapters on glam fashion, film, and comedy in Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.
