This episode of AW@L Radio (recorded June 30, 2017), opens with a quick rant about Trudeau's massive increases to canada's military budget, and a brief chat about local ripening fruits. For the remainder of the show, we are joined by Dr. Stephen Svenson for a discussion around #canada150 and the lingering "unproductive fictions" that deal with the establishment of this settler colonial state and which lay the foundation of racist canadian nationalism.

This episode of AW@L Radio (recorded June 30, 2017), opens with a quick rant about Trudeau's massive increases to canada's military budget, and a brief chat about local ripening fruits. For the remainder of the show, we are joined by Dr. Stephen Svenson for a discussion around #canada150 and the lingering "unproductive fictions" that deal with the establishment of this settler colonial state and which lay the foundation of racist canadian nationalism. Throughout the discussion we swing back to the question of "what are we celebrating?" when people choose to celebrate canada.
