Is Canada Broken?

2:47 | It's been a few weeks since Supriya Dwivedi's joined us on the show. She returns with a gut punch of an update on what her family's dealing with, and what she's learning firsthand about health care in Canada. 

28:35 | Our interview with Justin Bourne prompted so many of you to reach out to the show, telling us about you or your loved ones' battles with addiction. Ryan reads personal stories submitted by Real Talkers Paul and Anna.

35:10 | Are the politicians right? Is Canada really "broken"? Our Real Talk Round Table welcomes professors Nomi Claire Lazar, Vanessa MacDonell, and Michael Kempa, who dig into the recently-released Rouleau Report. What does the average Canadian need to focus on? What's partisan noise, and what represents a true threat to the rule of law in Canada? Our expert guests do a great job of focusing on what matters most. Don't miss this one!
