This week’s show looks at bank failures and spring floods, Ramadan fasting and food rights for prisoners, LGBTQ+ refugees to Canada and rising right-wing hate, and (for a change of pace) trivia nights down at the pub. All that and more!
Spring cleaning, and Carleton U cleaning up at the U Sport national basketball championships — plus more sober looks at transit, police budgets, a domestic violence epidemic, and the odds a local professor will get justice in France. Lots more, too!
We look at progress in accepting trans women, success in synchronized skating, seeking success in the new-grad job search, dancing to nature, fleeing nature as its climate warps, biking for fun and profit, facing rising food prices, and much more!
We ask passersby to reflect on a year of war in Ukraine, on women who’ve influenced them, and on what makes them happy, plus we have reports on the annual Indigenous round dance celebration, Ottawa’s housing emergency, winter biking, a Lego fest in Kanata and more!
We find out how locals originally from Syria are trying to help survivors of the recent earthquake, how days are numbered for a troubled downtown McDonald’s, and how Ottawa musicians are trying to recapture their old harmony — all that and lots more!
Stories this week on confronting those who oppose drag shows, the implications of the draft municipal budget, the long-run outlook for the Rideau Canal as climate changes, local efforts to help those hit by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, tips to protect digital privacy, and much more.
