Canadianism Podcast | S2 E7 | Quebec Is About to Show Canada What’s Wrong With Our Voting System
An old Canadian restaurant menu from 2018 has resurfaced online, and the prices look almost ridiculous beside what we're paying today. It wasn't 30 years ago. It was eight. Try to remember what going out for dinner cost in 2018. Not 1985, when we're told you could apparently buy a house, a Buick and a steak dinner for fourteen dollars. I'm talking about eight years ago. An old Canadian pub […]
When Did Concerts Get So Damn Perfect? The sound is better. The lights are better. The shows are safer. So why does it sometimes feel like we lost something along the way? I've been watching clips of Rush's current tour with Anika Nilles, and they sound great. Really great, actually. Considering we're talking about musicians whose history stretches back more than 50 years, it's remarkable. The playing is there, the […]
10 Canadian Songs Everyone Here Knows, But Americans Probably Don't There was once an entire layer of Canadian music that could be enormous north of the border and practically invisible a few hours south. If you grew up here, some of these songs weren't simply hits. They were part of the wallpaper. There's a funny thing that happens when Canadians talk about music with Americans.

Canadians are tired of tipping. Not because we've suddenly become cheap. Because we're being asked to do it everywhere. You buy a coffee. Tip. You pick up takeout. Tip. You buy a sandwich. Tip.

But I also think we're making a mistake by […]
By Christopher M. Michaud, The Canadianist Two pictures have been making the rounds this week. In one, a Real Canadian Superstore flyer shows Australian striploin at $10.88 a pound next to Canadian striploin at $32.88 — nearly triple. In the other, a shelf photo from an Edmonton Superstore shows the same gap on rib steak: $28.64/kg for Australian, $72.73/kg for Canadian. People are angry. My own brother sent me […]
Beginning Wednesday nights in September, we’re opening the doors for a live virtual town hall. I’ll post the week’s topic in the Facebook group ahead of time. If it’s something you have an opinion about, a question about, or simply want to understand better, you can join the conversation live. Come on by video or call in with audio only. It’s entirely your choice. This won’t be a webinar where […]
Canada is so much more than the stories making the headlines. It’s the music playing during a long drive home. It’s the people we meet, the communities we build, the places we love and the conversations that keep us company. It’s a country with countless voices, each carrying a story worth hearing. The Canadianist Radio was created to bring those voices together and celebrate the Canada we know, while […]
