In Episode 10 of The Breach Show, guests Pam Palmater and El Jones dive into the return of Canada Day, which—like reconciliation—is akin to “tinkering around the edges” without ensuring the substantive changes Canada needs.
This week, on the heels of the repeal of Roe v Wade in the U.S., we interview reproductive justice activist Darrah Teitel about abortion access in Canada. The Trudeau Liberals’ policy record, it turns out, isn’t as good as their photo-ops in front of abortion clinics.
And El Jones, Martin Lukacs and Pam Palmater discuss Canada Day, which in many cities will be about more than fireworks and beer this year. Has our warm and fuzzy nationalist mythology taken a well-deserved hit? Polls suggest so.

‘The first video I ever made with The Breach was on why we need to support the movement for Land Back. Today, it’s being used in educational settings everywhere—in universities and colleges and children’s classrooms too. When I give talks, people will say, ‘I saw your video and it helped me understand the issue.’
That’s what we do at The Breach—reach people where they are at, with bold ideas, principled analysis, and critical investigations.” – Pam Palmater, scholar and author
