Canada's Broken Divorce System, Woman in the Lead, Tax Season Is Here, and Indigenous Literature

Andrea Horwath, leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party. Andrea joins me to discuss the issues that truly matter, no matter where you live. Child Care, education, women in the workforce and health care. Calm and measured, Andrea is worth listening to no matter where you sit on the political spectrum. Anne Brodie has distractions galore with entertainment this week, and once again she joins us twice this week. Her regular Saturday night at the movies takes a look at yet another Batman iteration, as well as Dawn, Her Dad & the Tractor a timely film about a trans woman and the importance of allies. She joins us later in the show with a interview with Canadian actress Jennifer Spence who plays Kathy Torrance in BritBox’s Forensic Series Traces. Just as we’re all starting to feel like we couldn’t possibly take another thing on our already full plates, tax season has arrived. Susan Watkin from TurboTax joins me today to share what we should be looking out for as we file this year, and how to get the most out of our returns. I love having Susan on the show, as she takes the fear of taxes away with sound advice. Divorce in Canada is messy. Courts are overburdened and delays can cause everything from tension to rise between ex partners to devastating financial outcomes and sadly, even loss of life. Sarah Lawrynuik from CanadaLand joins me to share details on four cases she highlighted on a recent podcast, including a story from yours truly. If you’re heading into family court, you will definitely want to hear this one. Finally Raeann Browne joins me to discuss her beautiful new book for children depicting the transformative dreams envisioned by a young Inuk girl with the help of her loving mother. A first time author from Newfoundland, Raeann joins me to discuss the importance of indigenous literature for children.
