Front Burner

The best first stop for Canada. Each weekday morning, CBC's Jayme Poisson talks with the journalists and experts closest to the day's biggest story, which might be Canadian politics, a provincial fight or something global seen from north of the border. Poisson is a former investigative reporter, and the show keeps that instinct: it asks how things work and who is affected rather than simply recapping. Listening alongside American coverage of the same trade or border story is an eye-opener, because the starting assumptions are so different.
