The overturning of Roe v Wade in the US puts the spotlight back on the politics of abortion. David speaks with Jocelyn Piercy about the movement organizing that eventually led to the decriminalization of abortion in so-called Canada and defeated the Mulroney Tory government's attempt to recriminalize it, and in particular the work of the Ontario Coalition for Abortion Clinics. This experience is relevant today as we face emboldened right-wing forces intent on replacing liberal sexual and gender rights with its reactionary sexual hegemony.

Inspired by the recently released sixth season of The Kids in the Hall, Naomi and Aaron talk about this legendary sketch comedy show (1988-1995). We discuss the Kids' paths to becoming comic actors, and how the show was too dark for us to appreciate when we were kids ourselves. We breakdown some of their most notorious sketches, including Cabbage Head and The Chicken Lady, and pay special attention to their unfairly maligned feature film, Brain Candy (1996), which is actually very good! Finally, we consider the dangers of cultural nostalgia and decide that we'll do it anyway.

North Untapped digs deeper into topics covered in articles written by The Maple contributors and other Canadian journalists, exploring politics, foreign policy, imperialism and history from a socialist perspective in conversation with editor-in-chief Alex Cosh.

On the 4th installment of the show's 'Great Guilded North' series Cosh speaks with journalist Cassandra Kislenko about how Canada facilitated one of the worst acts of violence against Indigenous People in this continent's history.

Episode background:
Nova Scotia-born Izaak Walton Killam made his millions through pulp, paper and hydro-electric projects across Latin America. His Montreal-based International Power company controlled a monopoly on electrical power in El Salvador and charged extremely high rates on the country’s exploited workers.

When Indigenous peasants began an organized uprising in 1932, Killam called in a personal favour to protect his capital. This would end in a civilian massacre that would usher in decades of military dictatorship, and ultimately help establish prestigious cornerstones of Canadian arts, culture and academics.

This is part of a series exploring how the ruling elite shape power in Canada. Subscribe to The Maple to support independent journalism and this podcast for as little as $1 per week at https://www.readthemaple.com/

The 1940s saw Canada's socialist party soar in popularity, with the CCF forming official opposition in Ontario in 1943, and public opinion polls showing nationalizing industries to be widely popular across the country. How did the popularity of the CCF's positions get diffused, managed, or attacked in the years following the Second World War?

The first annual Dumb Book Awards turns the page on 2021 as Washington Post columnist David Moscrop and Jacobin staff writer Luke Savage join host Gordon Katic to review the mostly mediocre 'The Two Michaels: Innocent Canadian Captives and High Stakes Espionage in the US-China Cyber War', Pete Buttigieg’s totally terrible 'Trust: America’s Best Chance' and more.

SHOW NOTES:
First, (@4:09) the two Michaels and Meng affair gripped Canada and the world for the better part of three years. Could a single book capture the intricacies, context, and implications of that behemoth geopolitical moment? Washington Post columnist, podcaster and Darts and Letters show-notes writer/guy writing this sentence David Moscrop argues…maybe. But it’s certainly not The Two Michaels: Innocent Canadian Captives and High Stakes Espionage in the US-China Cyber War by Mike Blanchfield and Fen Osler Hampson.

Then, (@17:39) some argue trust is the glue that holds society together. But what if a book mangled the concept and mobilized it with a series of vapid phrases designed to superficially inspire centrists as only such a book–and maybe an episode of the West Wing–could? And what if that same book was written by one of the least trustworthy people in politics? Jacobin staff writer and co-host of the podcast Michael and Us Luke Savage makes the case for Pete Buttigieg’s Trust: America’s Best Chance.

Finally, (@29:01) the left needs to understand and contend with serious, right-wing books that seek to chart the course for the future of the ideology. Scholar, PillPod podcaster, and writer Matt McManus has found two offerings that are…not that. But they need to be reckoned with in their own way anyway. He takes down Ben Shapiro’s The Authoritarian Moment: How the Left Weaponized America’s Institutions Against Dissent and Mark Levin’s American Marxism.

On a recent episode of The Progress Report host Duncan Kinney sits down with Noah Zatzman, the former advisor to former Green Party of Canada leader Annamie Paul (who blew up the Greens by posting about how he wanted to unseat two-thirds of the party's sitting MPs for their criticism of Israel), for a bizarre and revealing feature-length interview you won't want to miss.

It’s November, aka. the month when we are all encouraged to partake in the manufacturing of sympathy for militarism in preparation for Remembrance Day. On this episode of AGSC, Paniz and Tamsyn are joined by Tyler Shipley, author of Canada in the World: Settler Capitalism and the Colonial Imagination published by Fernwood Publishing. Often, those criticizing militarism are labeled disrespectful. Here, Paniz, Tamsyn and Tyler explore how what actually is “disrespectful” is the devastation and destruction that the Canadian state commits worldwide in the name of democracy, human rights, and gender equality.
