    April 4 2026-Caryma Sa'd On Anti-Israel Demonstrations & Why Canadians Have Seen a Big Drop in Happiness Unruly and often hateful demonstrations have dominated our streets since october 7. Beforehand, there was another type of aggressive protest from the convoy opposing lockdowns. Caryma Sa'd is a lawyer who has made it her mission to document these protests on video to give us a first hand look at what is actually happening on the ground. She came by our studios for a long chat. And This week, a landmark ruling in Los Angeles awarded millions of dollars in an unprecedented win for a young woman who sued Meta and YouTube over her childhood addiction to social media. This echoes the results of the 2026 Global happiness Index. The research pointed to a big drop in the happiness of Canadians -especially younger ones - and it pointed to social media as the main reason. I reached one of the report’s authors, Lord Richard Layard, in London.

    March 14 2026-Who is Mojtaba Khamenei: Iran's New Supreme Leader & Canada's Technology Waste Problem In his first statement since becoming Iran’s Supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei said the leverage of closing the Strait of Hormuz should be used and that Iran’s attacks on Gulf Arab neighbors will continue. Before this, the 56-year-old son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has kept a low profile, and never held government office, nor given public speeches or interviews. For some insight on what to expect, I talked with Kaveh Shahrooz, a lawyer, human rights activist and Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. And How often do you get rid of older phones, laptops, tablets and other appliances? A new study finds that nearly two-thirds of the electronic devices that Canadians replace are still in working condition, and that creates a vast amount of electronic waste. Cell phones had the shortest average lifespan at around 4½ years, and part of the problem may be the surging number of scams that come through them. I talked with Carmi Levy, Technology analyst and journalist based in London, Ontario.

    March 7 2026-An Israeli's Perspective on the War Against Iran & The Importance of Sleep for your Health It’s been more than a week since the start of the American-Israeli attack on Iran. Since then, the conflict has intensified and engulfed other countries in the Middle east, and there has been criticism charging a lack of clear objectives and an exit strategy from the US. For the Israeli perspective, I talked with Professor Gabriel Ben Dor, who teaches National Security and Political science at the University of Haifa. And We’ve just shifted our clocks forward to DST, and as a result we’ve lost an hour of sleep. There are consequences to losing just this one hour, which most experts agree is bad for us - it’s usually followed by an uptick in crashes and medical events. And It comes on top of what some experts call a sleep debt. The numbers show that more than 40% of Canadians are sleep deprived, while there’s more and more evidence that sleep is a key to maintaining health. I talked to Dr. Christine Palmay about why sleep is so essential and how to get as much as you need.
