| 6/25/26 | ![]() Can Students Help Save Canada's Queer History? | For generations, many 2SLGBTQ+ stories were left out of history books, archives, and classrooms, raising questions about whose experiences are preserved and whose are forgotten. Now, some educators are working to recover that history before more of it is lost. Ian Duncan, a history teacher at Garth Webb Secondary School in Oakville, joins Jeyan to discuss how students are helping uncover, document, and share Canada's queer history. Then, Windsor teacher Chris Rabideau explains how a local project is preserving 2SLGBTQ+ stories from the community, one story at a time, and why documenting these experiences matters for future generations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() Who Should Control Ontario's Water Infrastructure? | As Ontario municipalities face growing pressure to repair and expand aging water and wastewater systems, some are asking whether new governance models could help manage the costs. Could municipal services corporations offer a viable solution, or do they raise new questions about oversight and public accountability? Michele Grenier, executive director of the Ontario Water Works Association, and Barbara Robinson, president of Norton Engineering, join Jeyan to discuss. Then, new research suggests a warming Arctic is reshaping vast lakes in northern Canada, raising concerns about what these changes could mean for freshwater ecosystems. Kathleen Rühland, senior scientist at Queen's University's Paleoecological Environmental Assessment and Research Laboratory, explains what scientists are finding and why it matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 6/23/26 | ![]() Why Are So Many Young Men Suffering in Silence? | Young men are often told to tough it out, but a new report from GreenShield and Mental Health Research Canada suggests many may be struggling in silence, raising questions about why so many are reluctant to seek help when they need it most. Khush Amaria, director of clinical services at GreenShield, joins Jeyan to unpack the findings. Then, as loneliness becomes a growing concern, some people are turning to AI chatbots for companionship. Can a machine provide meaningful connection, or does it risk deepening the problem? University of Toronto psychology professor Paul Bloom weighs in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 6/19/26 | ![]() Can Indigenous Voices Reshape Canada's Next Big Projects? | Canada is preparing for major nation-building projects while entering trade talks with the United States and Mexico, promising partnership with Indigenous peoples but leaving questions about what that means in practice. How will those commitments be carried out, and whose voices will shape the outcome? At the same time, Indigenous humour offers insight into culture, identity, and connection, reflecting shared experience while challenging assumptions. What makes it distinct, and can it help build understanding across communities? Anishinaabe journalist Tanya Talaga and playwright and author Drew Hayden Taylor join the conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | ![]() How Should Canada Handle CUSMA & Trump? | Prime Minister Mark Carney met with world leaders at the G7 in France, trying to position Canada in an increasingly uncertain global order, new questions are emerging about the country's economic stability and its most critical trade relationship. U.S. President Donald Trump has cast doubt on the future of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, saying "I'm not looking to renew it" and "we don't need anything that Canada has," with a key deadline approaching. How exposed is Canada if that deal unravels, and how should its foreign and economic strategy adapt? Arif Lalani, Shannon Gormley, Adam Chapnick, and Drew Fagan join Jeyan to discuss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 6/17/26 | ![]() Why Is Northern Ontario Still Waiting on Infrastructure? | Closures on Highways 11 and 17 can cut off entire northern communities and disrupt supply chains, raising questions about why long-standing calls for more resilient infrastructure have yet to be answered. Charles Cirtwill, founding president and CEO of the Northern Policy Institute, and Maggie Horsfield, first vice-president of the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities and deputy mayor of North Bay, join Jeyan to discuss. Then, in Sault Ste. Marie, a decades-old vision for a deep-water port is back in focus. Could the project finally move forward, and what would it take to make it viable? Mayor Matthew Shoemaker weighs in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 6/16/26 | ![]() Can Mobile Clinics Fix Ontario's Care Gap? | What do recent shifts in public health policy reveal about how care is delivered, and who can access it? After a woman was killed outside a Toronto community health centre in 2023, the province reviewed supervised consumption sites, introduced a new model, and this month cut public funding, raising questions about safety and access. At the same time, mobile health clinics are appearing outside Toronto libraries, aiming to connect more people with primary care. Journalist Adam Zivo, joining from Odessa, Ukraine, Montreal-based writer Emma Paling, and Martin McIntosh of the Regional HIV/AIDS Connection examine what these changes signal. Then, Dr. Andrew Boozary and Aly Velji consider whether mobile care can fill gaps or create new ones.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||

| 5/27/26 | ![]() Are Weight-Loss Drugs Reshaping How We Eat? | Researchers and analysts are beginning to ask whether two powerful forces are quietly reshaping how and why people eat: the rise of GLP-1 medications and the constant churn of food trends. What happens when drugs like Ozempic don't just reduce appetite but change how the body processes food, forcing users to rethink nutrition to avoid side effects and maintain balance? Could that shift create new demands the food industry is already preparing to meet? And at the same time, why do consumers continue to chase new diets, ingredients, and health claims month after month? What is driving this persistent search for the next solution, even as advice keeps changing? We examine whether these developments are connected, how pharmaceutical intervention may be accelerating longer-term shifts in food culture, and what it reveals about the forces shaping modern eating habits. Sylvain Charlebois, professor at Dalhousie University and director of its Agri-Food Analytics Lab, and Samantha King, professor and director of the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen's University, discuss nutrition, behaviour, and the emerging questions at the intersection of medicine, markets, and consumer choice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 5/26/26 | ![]() Can We Understand Nature's Language? | Researchers are beginning to investigate two frontiers that challenge long-held assumptions about the natural world: how animals communicate and whether forests function as complex, social systems. Advances in artificial intelligence are helping decode patterns in animal signals once thought to be beyond human understanding, raising difficult ethical and legal questions about what non-human species may be expressing. At the same time, new research on trees suggests forests may operate through interconnected networks that share resources and respond collectively to environmental stress. We examine what emerging science is revealing about animal minds and forest ecosystems, how these findings are being interpreted, and what they could mean for how humans define intelligence, responsibility, and the natural world itself. Kristin Andrews, philosophy professor at York University and York Research Chair in Animal Minds, and Suzanne Simard, forest ecologist and author of "When the Forest Breathes: Renewal and Resilience in the Natural World," discuss communication, connection, and the implications of treating animals and even forests as social beings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 5/22/26 | ![]() Is Ontario Transit Becoming Less Safe? | Some transit riders say the experience in Ontario is changing, with more visible drug use and increasingly unpredictable behaviour on buses, streetcars, and subways. But is public transit actually becoming less safe, or are perceptions outpacing the data? And would expanding the powers of special constables improve conditions for riders and staff? We examine what is known about recent safety concerns, how they are being measured, and what policy responses are under consideration. Andrew Pulsifer, executive director of TTC Riders, David Cooper, principal of Leading Mobility Consulting, and Kelly Aizicowitz, board member at A Better City, discuss the data, the lived experience, and what changes, if any, could make a difference for transit systems and the people who rely on them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 5/21/26 | ![]() Another Virus to Worry About? | What can a rare hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship tell us about broader public health risks, and are there warning signs closer to home that we may be overlooking? After a Dutch vessel was linked to the Andes strain, questions emerge about how such diseases spread, what makes them dangerous, and whether other threats, including tick-borne illnesses, are already taking hold. We examine what is known about hantavirus, how it compares to more familiar risks, and what it could signal about shifting patterns in human and environmental health. Dr. Fahad Razak, an internist and epidemiologist at St. Michael's Hospital, looks at the implications for surveillance, preparedness, and public awareness. We then turn to a different kind of signal: the ways animals respond to changing conditions. If animals are constantly communicating, what might humans be missing, and could those observations offer insight into environmental change? Amelia Thomas, journalist and author of "What Sheep Think About the Weather," explores how animals interpret their surroundings, what their behaviours might reveal, and whether learning to pay closer attention could deepen our understanding of the forces shaping both animal and human health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 5/20/26 | ![]() Could Surveillance Pricing Be the Future in Ontario? | Is surveillance pricing reshaping what Ontarians pay, and what happens when labour protections fail the people they are meant to protect? As affordability and cost of living dominate public concern, the growing use of consumer data to tailor prices raises new questions about fairness, transparency, and oversight. We examine how this practice works, who benefits, and where safeguards may be falling short. Vass Bednar, managing director of the Canadian Shield Institute, looks at the implications of data-driven pricing and how it could affect everyday costs. We then turn to wage theft, where workers report being paid below minimum wage, paid late, or not paid at all. If these violations are not rare, what does that say about enforcement, and who is most at risk? Ghada Alsharif, immigration and work reporter for the Toronto Star, and Jared Ong, organizer with the Workers' Action Centre, discuss the scope of the problem, the barriers workers face in seeking accountability, and what stronger protections might require.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 5/15/26 | ![]() Are Drones Reshaping Canada's Defence? | Who controls the systems that shape Canada's security, and how prepared are we for what comes next? We examine the growing use of unmanned aerial vehicles, asking what role Canada plays in developing drone technology, whether low-cost UAVs are changing modern defence, and what capacity the country may be lacking. Katheron Intson, CEO and co-founder of Sentinel R&D, explains where Canada fits and what closing those gaps would require. We then look to the past to better understand the present. At the Canadian Tank Museum in Oshawa, we explore what historic military vehicles reveal about Canada's wartime contributions, industrial support, and long-standing approach to defence. And beyond the battlefield, who controls our security online? In this episode of TVO Today's Unravelled, we ask what we give up when we agree to digital terms and conditions, who gains access to that information, and what meaningful protection of our digital lives would look like.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 5/14/26 | ![]() Should Canada Join Eurovision? | Is Canada ready to step onto the Eurovision stage, and what would that say about how the country sees its cultural role internationally? After the federal government said in the 2025 budget that it was "working with CBC/Radio-Canada to explore Canada's participation in Eurovision," questions remain about how such a move would work, what it would cost, and whether it is a gamble worth taking. From Ottawa, Nomi Claire Lazar, professor of public and international affairs at the University of Ottawa, examines the political and public value of the proposal, while Toronto-based Brock University adjunct professor Karen Fricker brings a critical perspective shaped by her long engagement with Eurovision as a cultural institution. We then look inward, to the cultural legacy Canada has already built. Toronto-made children's television, from Mr. Dressup and Degrassi to Polka Dot Door and Today's Special, shaped generations of viewers in Ontario and beyond. Rundown producer Colin Ellis speaks with cultural historian Ed Conroy about his new book, ImagiNation: The Golden Age of Toronto Kids' TV, and why revisiting these shows is not just an exercise in nostalgia but a way of understanding how public broadcasting, cultural ambition, and national identity have been constructed and contested over time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
| 5/13/26 | ![]() Where Are Canada's Undeclared Firearms? | Only about half of prohibited assault style firearms were declared under Canada's federal buyback. Tens of thousands may remain outside the system ahead of a 2026 ban that will make possession a criminal offence. Police Chief Mark Campbell and Professor Wendy Cukier examine what low compliance means for enforcement, public safety, and the credibility of the policy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 28m 50s | ||||||
