This is a show that breaks all that wide open. Dangers. Opportunities. The stories that make this country what it is. And what it isn't. Longtime journalist and podcast host Jordan Heath-Rawlings (Elbows Up, The Big Story, The Gravy Train) returns to host critical Canadian Conversations with leading experts and storytellers. These are discussions—about who we are, how we got here, and where we're going—designed to offer more than soundbites and headlines. They'll introduce you to places, people and policies you might not have otherwise met, or perhaps not considered to be worth your attention. But they are. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/cancon-7243791 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/cancon-7243791.md ## Episodes - [The strange, silly and sad stories you've never heard about Canadian Parliament](https://stenobird.com/podcast/cancon-7243791/the-strange-silly-and-sad-stories-you-ve-never-heard-about-canadian-parliament) — 2026-07-01T10:00:00+00:00 - [How Canada's great outdoors became a ticking time bomb](https://stenobird.com/podcast/cancon-7243791/how-canada-s-great-outdoors-became-a-ticking-time-bomb) — 2026-06-25T10:00:00+00:00 - [Could Halifax's housing strategy be an example for Canadian cities?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/cancon-7243791/could-halifax-s-housing-strategy-be-an-example-for-canadian-cities) — 2026-06-18T10:00:00+00:00 - [Why is Canada getting a brand new police force?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/cancon-7243791/why-is-canada-getting-a-brand-new-police-force) — 2026-06-11T10:00:00+00:00 - [What happened to Canada's Pharmacare plan?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/cancon-7243791/what-happened-to-canada-s-pharmacare-plan) — 2026-06-04T10:00:00+00:00 - [The US just paused a joint defence effort.
