From the playful to the profound, Canada’s stories are never simple. Shane Hewitt sits down with Lindsay Broadhead and Jamie Ellerton to explore how humor, identity, and controversy all collide in the way this country is seen — both at home and abroad.

The conversation begins with the quirks of Canadian culture, from funny city nicknames to the small ways humor connects communities. But it quickly moves into weightier territory: the closure of Marine Land, the uncertain fate of its belugas, and what the story reveals about government responsibility and animal welfare. From there, attention turns to Canada’s broader reputation, especially in the U.S., where shifting political rhetoric and strained trade agreements have created new challenges for Canadian businesses.

Together, these threads highlight how comedy, culture, and controversy shape not just our conversations but Canada’s place in the world.
