Canada’s Song of the Summer Is 10 Years Old. What the Hell Is Going On With Music? Apparently, one of the biggest songs of summer 2026 in Canada needed a decade to get here. TikTok has named Mac Miller’s “Cinderella,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, its No. 1 Song of the Summer in Canada. There is just one small detail: the song came out in 2016. Ten years ago. “Cinderella” appeared […]
12 Things Canadians Quietly Look Forward to Every September September in Canada is a strange little month. Nobody throws it a party. There are no fireworks. Nobody counts down to midnight on August 31. Yet somewhere around Labour Day, something changes. The evenings get cooler. The mornings smell different. Somebody shows up wearing a hoodie for the first time in months and nobody questions it. Summer isn't quite dead, but […]
What’s On This Week: Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa Labour Day week is doing its best to make sure nobody stays home.

10 Things Canadians Used to Have in Their Homes That Have Basically Disappeared Once upon a time, every house seemed to have the same strange collection of objects. Nobody announced their disappearance. One day, they were just gone. There was a time when you could walk into almost any Canadian home and immediately recognize the inventory. A phone book sat near the telephone. An ashtray was somewhere in the living […]
🍔 THE CANADIANIST FOOD FIGHT: CALLING ALL MUSIC CREATORS 🍕 We put out a call for food-themed songs and the response gave us an idea. Let's make a show out of this. The Canadianist Radio Network is putting together a one-hour special celebrating independent music creators and the wonderfully strange, funny, clever and occasionally serious things that happen when you tell musicians to write about food. So here's the challenge: […]
There are times for headlines, interviews and debate. And there are times to turn down the noise, settle in and spend an hour with a good book. The Canadianist Radio Network is introducing The Book Hour, a weekly radio series devoted to books, ideas and long-form storytelling. Each edition will feature a book presented aloud, giving listeners a chance to experience writing in a way that has largely disappeared […]
The Canadian TV Guilty Pleasures We’d Never Admit We Loved They weren’t always prestige television. Some were cheesy, some were weird, and some were so unmistakably Canadian they probably couldn’t have been made anywhere else. But when they came on, we watched. Canadian television used to be wonderfully strange. There was a time when you turned on the television and had no idea whether you were about to watch a […]
The Canadian Stores We’d Bring Back Tomorrow If We Could They weren’t necessarily better stores, and nostalgia has a funny way of polishing the floors. But give Canadians one afternoon inside a long-gone retailer and you might be surprised how quickly the memories come back. There are stores you shop at, and then there are stores that somehow become attached to a period of your life. You remember going there […]
Montreal at 3 A.M. Used to Taste Better: The Legendary Late-Night Eats We've Lost There was a time when last call in Montreal didn't mean finding a drive-thru. Smoked meat, eggs, burgers, fries and enough grease to make tomorrow slightly more manageable were waiting all over the city. Some of the places that fed generations of Montreal night owls are gone now. There was a particular moment during a Montreal […]
