  • The dramatic twists and storylines in Canada's 45th election as the new Liberal mandate begins
    Apr 29 2025

    In what's been a very upside down election campaign - the results were just as wild.

    At time of writing at 2:30am, it's a Liberal minority government. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is in danger of losing his seat and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh stepped down as leader after losing his seat of Burnaby Central.

    In this stripped down version of The Big Story, host David Smith stayed up really late to put together the full results for you this morning.

    Much more to come on all the election storylines throughout the week.

  • Weekend listen: The shocking pipeline to the "red pill" manosphere
    Apr 26 2025
    In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I will be talking to Dr Emily Contois, an Associate Professor at the University of Tulsa specializing in how identities are formed at the vital intersection of food, the body, and ideas about health. She is the author of “Diners, Dudes, and Diets: How Gender and Power Collide in Food Media and Culture” and co-editor of “Food Instagram: Identity, Influence, and Negotiation”. Today we will be riding on the heels of the popular Netflix show Adolescence, we are exploring the very scary effect of the manosphere, incel and “red pill” subcultures on young boys. Today we’re going to chat about how the patriarchy harms not just women, but men as well. We discuss the dangerous teachings of the manosphere and leading influencers like Andrew Tate. We also talk about the pipeline that young men are finding themselves going down starting with innocuous places (ie. self improvement, dating, fitness, dieting) that lures them into incel culture. We talk in detail about the intersection between diet culture and the manosphere and the lack of body positivity movements for men. We talk about the role of bullying, social isolation, AI, p0rn, types of school, and gender roles modelled at home. I finish with a list of potential actionable tips to help you start to build emotional resilience, media literacy and tolerance to different expressions of gender to help set the stage to allow your kids to reject these manosphere ideologies. https://bite-back-with-abbey-sharp.simplecast.com/episodes/the-shocking-pipeline-to-the-red-pill-manosphere-from-health-nutrition-content-online-with-dr-emily-contoisBe sure to check out my first episode with Emily: “Ladies eat salad, men eat steak & burgers”.References:https://www.everyonesinvited.uk/primary/readhttps://aibm.org/research/male-suicide-data/?https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/data.html?https://www.bbfc.co.uk/about-us/news/children-see-pornography-as-young-as-seven-new-report-findshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39907845/https://cyberbullying.org/cyberbullying-continues-to-rise-among-youth-in-the-united-states-2023?https://tribune.com.pk/story/2536330/netflix-drama-adolescence-prompts-anti-misogyny-curriculum-shift-in-uk-schoolshttps://unpluggedcanada.com/Check in with today’s amazing guest: Dr Emily Contois, Associate Professor at the University of Tulsa.

  • Digging into to Canada's fringe political parties and their hopes for election day Monday
    Apr 25 2025

    The federal election....from the "fringe".

    Most voters are familiar with the major national parties running in this election, such as the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP, & Greens.

    But there are actually 16 registered political parties looking for your vote.

    Some of them are known as fringe parties, while others are upstarts, hoping to make an impact down the road.

    Today on The Big Story, we're shining a light on some of the lesser known parties in this campaign, and letting them have their voice heard as the country goes through the democratic process.

    Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with the Leaders of the Animal Protection Party, the Canadian Future Party, the Communist Party, and the Marijuana Party.

  • What can advanced voter turnout tell us about election day?
    Apr 24 2025
    Elections Canada saw a record-breaking 2 million people cast their ballot on the first day of advanced voting for the federal election, resulting in a grand total of more than 7.3 million over the four day period. And as Canada enters the final stretch of campaigning in one of the most critical elections of our time, what can these preliminary numbers tell us about what's to come? Which party could benefit the most from those who vote early? And will we see this sort of momentum on April 28? Host Maria Kestane talks to John Beebe, Founder and Director of the Democratic Engagement Exchange for Toronto Metropolitan University about whose voice will be heard the most among these numbers and what it means for the future of Canada's civic engagement.

  • Remembering Pope Francis
    Apr 23 2025
    Pope Francis has passed away at the age of 88, leaving behind a legacy of breaking ground in the vatican and his attempts to modernize the Catholic church. Francis also left a lasting impact on Canada, with a 2022 trip to apologize for the church's role in the residential school system. Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with Emma Anderson, a professor of religious studies at the University of Ottawa, about the tenure of Francis, what comes next in the process to pick a new pope, and could a Canadian be in the running?
