Dans ce plus récent épisode de The Goldwaters, Me Anne-France Goldwater, Me Marie-Hélène Dubé et leur invitée, la jeune militante  Dalila Awada, mènent une réflexion profonde sur les effets d’un Québec qui se scinde au nom de la différence plutôt que de s'épanouir dans la diversité, un Québec où plusieurs avouent ne plus se reconnaître.

Episode 33 – The City-State of Montréal with Beryl Wajsman and Brent Tyler

Montréal is a special city. It’s a unique mix of English and French, and the home to migrants from all over the globe. And on this episode of The Goldwaters, Anne-France Goldwater wonders, should Montréal be its own city-state? To help her answer this question, and to explain what exactly a city-state is, she’s joined by “two fellows who are steeped in the history of the political and legal conflicts of this province.” Those fellows are Beryl Wajsman, the editor of The Suburban newspaper and publisher of The Métropolitain commentary journal and Brent Tyler, a lawyer with experience fighting for anglophone rights in Québec.

Episode 30 – Polls, Damned Polls, and Aggregators with Philippe J. Fournier

It’s tough out there for a news consumer. If you consume any political news, you’re going to be inundated with news about polls — who’s up, who’s down, who’s going to win, and who’s going to lose. But how do you know what can you trust? To find out, Anne-France Goldwater and Samantha Goldwater-Adler invited Philippe J. Fournier to the podcast. When he’s not working as a physics professor at Cégep de Saint-Laurent in Montreal, he runs Quebec125.com where he aggregates political polls in Quebec and across the country for the Quebec magazine, L’Actualité.

Episode 29 – Millennials aren’t so bad with Karl Moore

Millennials are the most entitled generation of young people the world has ever seen. They spend all their money of avocado toast and hand-crafted lattes. They live in their parents basements taking selfies and tweeting dank memes. They’re killing chain restaurants, and they demand immediate promotions at the office. At least, that’s how the stereotype goes. Read More

Épisode 28 – Le hijab ostentatoire avec Sondos Lamrhari

This week, The Goldwaters present a special episode in French. English text follows.
Pour beaucoup de Québécois, le débat sur le port de symboles religieux est un débat abstrait. Pour Sondos Lamrhari, c'est très réel.
 
Lamrhari est une cadette de la police au Collège Ahuntsic de Montréal. Elle porte aussi un hijab. Et si le Parti québécois ou la Coalition Avenir Québec obtient le pouvoir lors des prochaines élections, elle pourrait être contrainte de choisir entre son emploi de rêve pour un corps de police québécois et sa foi. Cependant, Lamrhari est déterminée à être la première officière de police de la province à porter le hijab et croit qu'il favorisera le rapprochement avec les communautés musulmanes. "Pour le moment, ça ressemble à ça. J'aimerais vraiment devenir policière au Québec. "
