NEW - A G7 Country Shouldn't Act Small

Canada is the ninth largest economy in the world and a senior member of the G7. Andrew Caddell thinks it's time the country started acting like it, on trade and on the question of where its prime minister actually lives. Andrew brings a diplomat's eye to two stories that look unrelated but aren't. On trade, he reads Carney's refusal to accept a rushed deal as a negotiating strength, not a stalemate, and points to American industries already absorbing the cost of tariffs on Canadian aluminum and steel as evidence the pressure is working in both directions. On 24 Sussex, he sees something similar: a country that keeps choosing small when the moment calls for something else. The building has been functionally condemned for years. The argument that Canada shouldn't spend the money to fix it, Andrew says, misses what it costs not to.

Inside Copy: Nana-Imo, Walking Sharks, and Ranch Dressing

Nobody needed any of this information. That's exactly why it's here. A cookie chain put a Nanaimo bar on their menu and filmed Americans trying to say the word. The mayor of Nanaimo has opinions about this. Europeans attending the FIFA World Cup are discovering ranch dressing for the first time and cannot stop talking about it. Scientists in Australia have identified a new species of shark that can walk across beaches on its fins. It is approximately three feet long. Shane and Ryan work through all of it, including the actual origin story of the Nanaimo bar, which turns out to be murkier than the city of Nanaimo would prefer, and whether a walking shark is terrifying or just a little fish with ambition. More people are killed by cows every year. Make of that what you will. Topics: Nanaimo bar, Crumble Cookie, walking shark Australia, FIFA World Cup, ranch dressing Originally aired on 2026-06-26

NEW - What the Hell to Watch this Weekend

This week's picks come with a warning: if you bought any of them digitally, you might not have them as long as you think. Steve Stebbing has 4,100 movies on physical media and has been laughing off the "just go digital" advice for years. PlayStation just deleted 500 purchased films from users' libraries, Terminator 2 among them, with no refund and no recourse. Steve, Ryan, and Shane work through what that actually means before getting into the weekend's viewing. In theatres, Supergirl takes Kara into a space odyssey of self-discovery that Steve says works better than the internet wants it to. Jackass Best and Last closes the book on the franchise with new stunts, old footage, and Johnny Knoxville at 51 choosing his head carefully. On streaming, Little Brother pairs John Cena with a gonzo Eric Andre on Netflix, The Bear ends its run on season five, and House of the Dragon returns for season three with Emma Darcy carrying the weight of the Targaryen throne. Own the disc. Trust nothing else.

Shiftheads - When to Seek Help with your Relationship

There's a six-year gap between when relationship problems start and when most couples finally ask for help. Dr. Laurie Betito has spent a career on the other side of that gap, and she wants to close it. Dr. Laurie is a Montreal-based clinical psychologist and relationship expert, and this conversation goes after the reasons people wait: the fear of what therapy might uncover, the stigma of needing help, the comfort of having adapted to unhappiness so completely that it no longer feels like unhappiness. She names the specific patterns worth paying attention to, the recurring fight that never resolves, the intimacy that quietly disappears, the partner who stops bringing things up at all, and explains why therapy works best when both people are still in, not when one is already gone. The conversation also covers why men tend to resist the most and benefit the most, and what it looks like to use therapy as prevention rather than rescue. You don't wait until all your teeth fall out before seeing a dentist.

You Bought It. You Don't Own It

Digital ownership in Canada is mostly a polite fiction. You buy the movie, the game, the scale, the heated seat, and what you actually get is permission to use it until the company changes its mind. This conversation pulls the thread on a trend that keeps expanding into new territory. GTA 6, the most anticipated video game release in years, ships in a physical box with no disc inside, just a piece of paper with a download code. Smart scales have been bricked overnight when companies shut down servers. Heated seats in new cars sit locked behind monthly subscription fees. Digital movies bought years ago disappear when licensing agreements change. The pattern is the same every time: the purchase is real, the ownership is not. Shane and Ryan connect it to a broader habit of letting companies and governments offload responsibility onto consumers, the same move that spent decades telling people to feel guilty about recycling while the recycling went to incinerators. You're not the owner. You're the subscriber who forgot to read the terms.
