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 Breach’s investigations don’t just inform our readers—they force the powerful to react.
An exposé on blood plasma privatization led to national headlines. Our revelations about the government’s cozy connections to Big Pharma sparked a parliamentary probe. A report on high-tech price-fixing by mega landlords resulted in a criminal investigation.
From activists to elected officials, people are using The Breach’s journalism to push for transformative change.
