Inside Canada’s Data Centre Fervor (with Isaac Phan Nay)
Isaac Phan Nay mainly reports on labour for The Tyee. But over the past two years, that’s increasingly meant covering how artificial intelligence has surged into our lives. “AI has quickly reared its heads in the workplace and in our cities in ways that I really can't look away from,” he said. This summer, Phan Nay has been hearing from the residents who don’t want AI data centres in their neighbourhoods and the municipal politicians standing up for their constituents. He’s been pushing the tech companies for more answers, and sitting down with the federal elected officials behind Canada’s data centre build-out. This week on The Tyee podcast, Phan Nay shares what he’s learned about the data centres coming to your town and what you can do about it. This podcast may include ads with third-party measurement.

Do We Really Need A Provincial Election? (with Andrew MacLeod)
To many, B.C. Premier David Eby’s snap election call seemed like an odd choice. The government still had two years in their mandate. Big questions — like the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and the budget deficit — were left unanswered. Plus, all the best lawn sign spots had already been claimed by candidates for municipal government. If The Tyee’s Victoria bureau chief is put off, he’s not showing it. Andrew MacLeod said the election call has morphed into something of an early Christmas. “When they called it, I was definitely in the camp of like, ‘Do we really need to do this now?’” he said. “But there are announcements every day, and there are people arguing about ideas, and you get into the spirit of it. So it is kind of fun.”MacLeod has covered seven previous provincial elections, and nearly two decades worth of provincial politicking for The Tyee. This election cycle is no different. This week, he gives us the long-view on campaign trail drama and breaks down what this election is really about. Support independent media by becoming a Tyee Builder today.

Vancouver Election Special Episode (with Katie Hyslop)
It’s a confusing time to be a voter. Here in Vancouver, voters will be confronted with more than half a dozen political parties — some of which are brand new this election cycle. They will stare down so many names on the ballot. And they will have to vote on a unique plebiscite. It’s a lot to keep track of. Luckily for The Tyee Podcast, reporter Katie Hyslop has been keeping track of party promises, election drama and the top issues. So we reached out to ask if they could help break it all down for listeners. This week, they return to the show for a special municipal election episode.

Searching For Answers About Tatyanna Harrison (With Jen St. Denis)
Natasha Harrison had been searching for her daughter, 20-year-old Tatyanna Harrison, for months before police found her body on a Yacht in Richmond in 2022. Natasha has been fighting for more information about what happened to her daughter. A coroners’ inquest this year was supposed to offer answers. But what Natasha learned would only raise more questions about how police and the BC Coroners’ Service handled her daughter’s death. “There have been a number of pretty shocking oversights, and some pretty glaring gaps between how we do things in this province and how other provinces do things,” said Jen St. Denis, a senior reporter at The Tyee. St. Denis has been covering https://thetyee.ca/Series/2026/07/30/Tatyanna-Harrison/ the case for three years. She was at the coroners’ inquest this summer, where disturbing details came to light about how the BC Coroners Service managed the case.

In The Sky Fighting Wildfires (with Tyler Olsen)
Tyler Olsen is no stranger to wildfire. He and his family no longer notice the smell of smoke in the air, and they are familiar with the sight of fire on the hillside near their home in Lillooet, B.C. He’s gotten used to the sound of fire-fighting helicopters whirring overhead. The Tyee Senior editor jumped at the chance to climb into a Bell 407 helicopter with wildfire fighters battling the Ainslie Creek wildfire in August. This week, he takes us inside the fight against B.C. wildfires. He shares what’s changed, why this year is different, and what it’s like to live with fire.

Why the Cowichan Decision is a win for all of us (with Arno Kopecky)
When the Cowichan Nation V. Canada decision came down a year ago, there was panic right across the country. For many Canadians, the courts declaring that the Cowichan held Aboriginal title over a small section of Richmond was confusing, complex, even terrifying. But Arno Kopecky says the Cowichan decision is not the end of the world in Richmond. In fact, it’s the beginning of something incredible. For a recent feature in MacLean’s Magazine, the author and journalist knocked on doors in Richmond, walked the ground in dispute and came away, not scared, but excited. In this episode, he tells us how Indigenous title can coexist with private property, and why the Cowichan decision is an opportunity for a richer, better version of our country and our culture.Support independent media by becoming a Tyee Builder today.

We Have Got to Stop Talking About Alberta Separatism (with Nate Pike)
This October, Albertans will either vote to stay a part of Canada, or they’ll vote to leave. But whatever the outcome, we are all going to keep hearing about Alberta separatism for many, many years to come. Never has a delusion been this elevated in the province, says Nate Pike. On this episode, the host of the The Breakdown AB tests our censors as he tries to explain where the separatist movement came from, how much of it is being driven by foreign interference and how the vast majority of Albertans who are tired of this conversation need to fight back.“This asymmetrical warfare that they are playing on us needs to be responded to, and it can't be responded to with apathy.”Support independent media by becoming a Tyee Builder today.

What Would It Take for the Condo Bailout to Succeed? (with Marc Lee)
When Premier David Eby and Prime Minister Mark Carney announced their governments will spend $1.45 billion buying up 2,200 of British Columbia’s unsold condos and turning them into rent-to-own housing, the response was unambiguous. “Everyone kind of hated it,” says Marc Lee, senior economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. “I feel like this was something that they had maybe sketched out on the back of a cocktail napkin. It wasn't supposed to go public, and then it did.” On this episode, Marc joins us to try to make sense of this quote-unquote condo bailout. Is there any chance it might actually work? Or, instead of trying to fix the housing market, are we better off bypassing it altogether?Support independent media by becoming a Tyee Builder today. Find out more at support.thetyee.ca.
