What would Andrew do? Jagmeet?

The SNC-Lavalin affair offered a stark choice for our prime minister. We know which door he chose. But what about the opposition leaders. Shouldn't we know what they would have done with the same choice?

The Tideline, with Tara Thorne

Norma MacDonald, a young white woman with longer reddish hair, wearing a dress with a bold floral pattern.
Episode 64 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

This week offers a rare case of Tara chatting with someone she’s known and seen play for a long time, but somehow has never interrogated in a journalistic capacity. Norma MacDonald—call her classic country, folk, Americana, singer-songwriter—released her latest albumOld Futureone month into the pandemic, when we all thought this thing might be short-lived. Multiple cancelled release shows later (she eventually nailed it), she stops by to chat about these past few years, her day job as a nurse, what the (new) future could look like, ASMR, and an odd defense of Hotmail.

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.
