When celebrating the Habs gets you beaten by police

Thursday, May 14, 2026 • Duration 33:50

With the Stanley Cup playoffs underway in Montreal, the excitement is everywhere and the SPVM is deploying to contain it, but some say they are overacting.
Alex MacMillan who started the Spark Solidarity page has been weighing in on what he considers excess brutality towards Habs fans by the Montreal Police. In this interview Alex details the long history of police interventions against hockey riots, the laws that changed how the police in montreal react, as well as the contrasting styles of big game crowd control used in places like Toronto that are much more peaceful than in Montreal.
With the Habs continuing on in the playoffs one question remains, should public funds be used for beating up fans of the Montreal Canadiens who have not broken any laws?

Solidarity with Muslim prisoners

Thursday, May 7, 2026 • Duration 34:04

Muslim prisoners in Quebec face a compounded type of discrimination. There is the usual deprivation of life and freedom that the public expects prisoners to face. However, there is a rigidity of prison life that is wholly unaccommodating to the Muslim faith, and some are saying it is becoming even worse with budget cuts from both federal and provincial governments that take away educational opportunities from prisoners.Two community organizers are taking things into their own hands with the Eid Card writing initiative for incarcerated Muslims.

Local 514 host, Kalden Dhatsenpa speaks to the organizers, Nashwa and Nabeela who have taken on efforts to spread awareness and raise funds for this unspoken issue.They talk about Islamophobia in Québec’s institutions, the broader global uses of prisons to stifle racialized and Indigenous communities, as well as the reception of their initiative by these prisoners.

The politics of the puck w/ Andrew Berkshire

Thursday, March 5, 2026 • Duration 58:45

As much as professional sports tries to distance itself from the political world, politics always finds sports. Recently FBI director Kash Patel and president Donald Trump embroiled themselves in scandal for their ugly gold medal celebrations with the US mens national hockey team. Some of which had to return to their local Canadian teams and answer for their soft support of these authoritarian figures. Even outside of international tensions, policy decisions around sports arenas, recreational centres, and funding for young talent make up many chains of political choices. If it wasn’t clear already sports are tied up with identity, culture, territory, and power in ways we do not always talk about.
In Montreal especially, hockey is more than just a game. It is connected to language politics, nationalism, class, and community identity. Governments help fund arenas. Taxpayers pay for transit, infrastructure, and policing around games. National anthems and military displays are also a regular part of the spectacle.
In this episode, we talk with Andrew Berkshire, president of the Game Over Network and former managing editor of Habs Eye on the Prize. After years covering hockey and the NHL, he has also spent a lot of time thinking about the politics surrounding the sport.
We talk about toxic masculinity, public money in sports, culture wars, and the power structures behind the NHL, and ask a simple question. Are sports are recognized as a public good? and if so should they be administered like one?
