Shane Hewitt chats with Ed Conroy, founder of RetrOntario.com and expert in Canadian pop culture nostalgia, to relive the defining moments of 2002 — from MuchMusic mania and cringey fashion trends to political shifts and tech growing pains. Together, they explore how that year shaped Canadian identity in everything from TV and music to how we talked to each other online.

Later, Shane Hewitt speaks with historian Craig Baird of CanadaEHX.com to reflect on Canada’s global spotlight moment at the 2002 G8 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, where world leaders tackled terrorism, global poverty, and security just months after 9/11. Baird breaks down how the secluded mountain setting shaped diplomacy, why it mattered for Canadian history, and what it revealed about our role on the world stage.
