  • Oops he did it again....another Trump social media post rattles Canada

    Oops he did it again....another Trump social media post rattles Canada
    Jun 28 2025

    Stop us if you're heard this one before - a Trump threat on social media about tariffs rattles Canada.

    Because of a digital tax that's supposed to come into effect on Monday, Trump says that any trade talks with our country are done. The statement was made on his Truth Social account Friday afternoon.

    This ends any optimism that was there after the G7 summit when we were hearing that a new trade deal could be forthcoming in 30 days.

    So what happens next?

    Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with Carleton University Professor of International Affairs Fen Hampson.

  • The Outlaw Ocean Project: a journalist's near-death experience in Libya

    The Outlaw Ocean Project: a journalist's near-death experience in Libya
    Jun 27 2025
    Tens of thousands of migrants choose between life or death in a quest to leave home in hopes of a better life, even if it means spending months working for cash just to pay a smugger who will *hopefully* get a small boat filled past the brim to the other side of the journey. Aliou Candé made that very decision in 2019 - in hopes of a better future for his parents, two children and pregnant wife. A bullet to the neck at a secret, Libyan prison in 2021 killed that dream. He never saw the better life that he risked his own for. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Ian Urbina, Director of the Outlaw Ocean Project and host of the Outlaw Ocean Podcast about season two of the anthology where he details the story of Aliou Candé, and how his reporting of those secretive, migrant prisons almost cost him his life at the hands of Libyan militias. You can find more on the CBC series below: The Outlaw Ocean is an anthology podcast that plunges you into the vast and often lawless world of the open seas. In season two, Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Ian Urbina sheds light on the secretive Libyan prisons swallowing up sea-faring migrants; flagrant human rights abuses in China’s massive off-shore fleet; the horrors of a shrimp processing plant in India; and the wild story of a modern-day James Bond — if he were a repo man. Urbina and his team repeatedly risk their safety to tell stories powerful people don’t want you to know. As podcast reviewer Lauren Passell notes, “Ian’s not relying on research, he was there [...] Outlaw Ocean makes you feel like you’re there, too.” This immersive audio documentary series brings together more than eight years of reporting at sea on all seven oceans and more than three dozen countries.
