  • What's a digital nomad and are you cut out to be one?

    What's a digital nomad and are you cut out to be one?
    Aug 7 2025
    If you've ever wondered what it's like to make money while travelling the world, you're not the only one. Digital nomadism is the kind of lifestyle that many dream of, and now more than ever, actually live, and that's thanks to the rise in remote work opportunities. You take your laptop with you from airport to train station to uber to bus, and you decide where and how you work, for whom and sometimes, at what rate. But the unlimited beach-front resorts or vast cafe options don't necessarily fill the void of isolation or lack of routine, and not to mention the never-ending spending that comes with life on the go. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Sonia Dheer, a digital nomad who's hit 40 countries under the age of 30, to discuss the real truth behind the digital nomad lifestyle, and whether or not you're cut out for the glitz and glam of the up-and-go.We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

  • A look back at Mark Carney's first 100 days as Prime Minister

    A look back at Mark Carney's first 100 days as Prime Minister
    Aug 6 2025

    Today marks 100 days since Mark Carney was voted in as the 24th Prime Minister of Canada. It was an election that marked a turning point for a handful of the federal political parties, but especially so for the Liberals. A party once well behind in support against the Conservatives, gained new momentum with a new yet familiar face.

    But Prime Minister Carney knew exactly what kind of role he was stepping into, centering his campaign around a looming trade war with the U.S., and promising Canadians his support in defending our country's freedom and sovereignty.

    Host Mark Day speaks with Rob Snow, host of the Now You Know with Rob Snow radio show, to discuss both the accomplishments and failures of Prime Minister Carney during his first 100 days in office, and what kind of tone the first 100 set for the next 100 to come.

  • Are Poilievre's democratic concerns of the long ballot valid?

    Are Poilievre's democratic concerns of the long ballot valid?
    Aug 5 2025

    In less than 2 weeks, it's do or die for Pierre Poilievre.

    Not only is he in for a political battle to get into the House of Commons, he's got other forces working against him, including another lengthy ballot.

    Most of the candidates are associated with the Longest Ballot Committee, a grassroots electoral reform group seeking to draw attention to itself by flooding ballots with as many names as possible in several recent elections and byelections. But their tactics have raised questions about the effect long ballots have on the accessibility and integrity of the vote.

    Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Julie Simmons, associate professor at the University of Guelph’s political science department to discuss both the flaws in the Canadian electoral system that long ballots aim to highlight and whether such protests have the potential to depreciate our democracy.
