Just months away from the start of the 2026 Winter Olympics, a crowd of the NHL's youngest stars are already making legitimate cases for a spot at hockey's biggest tournament. That is, if the currently-incomplete main hockey arena meets the league's standards. Technical producer Stephen Ellsworth joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.

PODCAST: CFRA's House Calls for Sun. December 7th, 2025

36 years ago, a 20-minute massacre in Montreal left Canadians in a state of shock. 36 years later, more action is still required, as femicide remains a deadly reality in today’s technologically-advanced upbringing. Geoffrey Johnston, an International Affairs columnist with the Kingston Whig-Standard, joins Andrew Pinsent in Hour 2. On a much lighter note, Christmas is the season of giving, but the frigid December weather can often provide a good excuse to warm up near an open fire. But in the case of Carleton University sociologist Tonya Davidson, she spends her free time writing. We examine her latest creation – a crash-course on ‘Ottawology’. Plus, in today’s edition of This Week In History, Craig Baird from Canadian History EHX reflects on the cultural impact of a popular Canadian mini-series. Hint: Every single Maritimer has probably watched this.

 Hour 2 of CFRA Weekends for Sun. December 7th, 2025

Just months away from the start of the 2026 Winter Olympics, a crowd of the NHL's youngest stars are already making legitimate cases for a spot at hockey's biggest tournament. That is, if the currently-incomplete main hockey arena meets the league's standards. Technical producer Stephen Ellsworth joins Andrew Pinsent in Hour 1. Meantime, a fictional quote from a Canadian satirical staple has somehow made its way onto a Time Magazine article. The Beaverton’s Clare Blackwood and Ian McIntyre explain how it all happened. But first, ongoing tensions between America and Venezuela are running high, as the U.S. President continues to ponder his next move. Salvador Herencia Carrasco, a UOttawa Law Professor, fills us in on the latest developments.
