Why Nostalgia Is Today’s Best Holiday Gift
Forget gadgets and gizmos — some gifts don’t need batteries to bring joy. Lindsay Broadhead and Jamie Ellerton join to talk about the timeless treasures that keep families connected: from classic toys to moments that turn into memories.

They dig into how holiday traditions have shifted, why board games and simple play still bring people together, and how spending quality time can become the best present of all. Jamie also reveals her big creative leap into comedy training next year, while Lindsay reflects on integrity as a leadership priority in 2026. If you want to think differently about giving — and living — this holiday chat delivers fresh perspective.

Fentanyl as a Weapon: What Trump’s Rhetoric Means for Canada
Donald Trump just labeled fentanyl a "weapon of mass destruction" — but what does that mean for Canada? In this sharp, urgent episode, Jamie Ellerton and Lindsay Broadhead unpack the political theater, cross-border realities, and the deeper consequences of America's drug crisis rhetoric.
Get into the nuance of how Canada's drug trafficking data compares to U.S. claims, what it really means when policy gets weaponized, and how fear can fuel power grabs. Plus, a lively wager on how often Canada might make it into Trump’s national address. Learn what’s at stake when global headlines ripple into Canadian policy and perception.
