03/07/2026 | 21 min
This 4th July marks a big milestone in U.S. history, with 250th anniversary celebrations taking place across the country. But with political division high in much of America, how are people marking this anniversary and reflecting on their nation's history? We talk to Beverly Gage, a history professor at Yale University, and author of "This Land is Our Land: A Road Trip through U.S. History."
B.C., Alberta, and Ottawa come to a pipeline agreement
03/07/2026 | 20 min
Yesterday, B.C. Premier David Eby and Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a multi-billion B.C.-Ottawa agreement, including investments in the province's shipping, mining, and forestry industries. Then, Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced a formal proposal for a pipeline that would run through southern B.C. We speak with Tyler Dawson and Rob Shaw, two long-time B.C. and Alberta correspondents, about how this deal was made, what each province gets out of it, what they had to give up, and what it means for the future of Alberta's contentious West Coast pipeline.
U.S. declines to renew CUSMA
02/07/2026 | 19 min
Yesterday, the Trump administration declined to renew the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). Without an agreement to extend the deal between all three countries, CUSMA is set to expire in 2036, although it can be renewed at any point in the next ten years if all parties reach an agreement. We speak with Stephen Vaughn, a former acting U.S. Trade Representative, about the decision and current U.S. trade policy. Then, we hear from Carlo Dade, the Director of International Policy and the New North America Initiative, at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary, about what this means for the Canadian economy.

The Current producer, Amanda Grant, explores the common threads in sewing culture, why people are embracing it, how to find modern patterns, and how sewing is part of slow fashion.
