Seriously — Supriya & Ryan

August 31, 2022 - Online Rage, Offline Impact: Why So Angry, Bro?

You can feel Elliot McDavid's anger as he storms toward Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland in the lobby of Grande Prairie City Hall. By now, everybody's seen the video of the Alberta man demanding the Liberal finance minister "get the fuck out of Alberta," but what do we plan to do about it? How did we get to this point of rage-driven politics, and how do we get out of it?
Why are Canadians so angry, anyway? Are we more angsty than we were even a few years ago? What does this mean for discourse moving forward? Where do politicians and media need to take this trend? Is it even possible to build bridges anymore?Plus, comedian Chris Rock was doing so well in managing The Slap Heard 'Round the World. Up until recently, that is. That story's in this week's edition of "Seriously?!"

August 24, 2022 - Big German Energy, 58 Shades of Grey, Stateside Demands

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spells it out - they want Canada's green hydrogen. What does that mean for pipeline conversations in Canada? And how much longer can Quebec simply say "no" to a project clearly in the national economic interest?
Veteran news anchor Lisa LaFlamme is unceremoniously dismissed as CTV's national anchor: who cooked up the corporate strategy on this one? How could any reasonably intelligent executive think it'd be wise to shuffle her off to the gallows in such callous fashion?
Republican Elise Stefanik "demands" Canada lose its ArriveCAN app. We've got a few demands for our southern neighbours, too...

August 10, 2022 - Trump’s Mansion Raided, Journalists Targeted, No Crisis Here!

The FBI executes a no-knock warrant at the Florida home of former President Donald Trump: what does the bigger-picture story mean for Canadians? Where is America headed (again?), and how will that impact its northern neighbour?
Journalists Rachel Gilmore, Erica Ifill, and Saba Eitizaz have gone public with some of the hateful, threatening messages they receive. When are media companies, police, and the public going to take this seriously...and what would that look like?Plus, if Ontario's health minister says there's no health care crisis, does that make it true?We want to know how you feel about the stories we're tackling.

We wrap with a look at a PEI brewpub that paid the price for hosting the PM for lunch.

July 20, 2022 - Misinformation, Moderna, & Mayor Brown

It's episode one of Seriously! Supriya and Ryan tackle misinformation in "mainstream" politics, and wonder where legacy media is in hitting it head-on. Health Canada says children under five can get vaccinated, but how many parents will actually take their kids to get the jab? Plus, Patrick Brown says he's done with the CPC leadership race, and will seek re-election as Brampton's Mayor...but why?
