The Big Story

An in-depth look at the issues, culture and personalities shaping Canada today.

  1. Can we fix the way concert tickets are sold in this country?

    Sunday, December 22nd 2024

    Superstar Taylor Swift had 9 sold out shows in Canada this year and while some Swifties were able to snag tickets via Ticketmaster, others weren't so lucky.  

     

    Many opted to take the third-party route and ended up spending outrageous amounts of money for a chance to see the show.  

     

    Is there a better way to buy concert tickets?  

     

    On this episode of the Big Story we talk to Shannon Mckarney from Etobicoke, Ontario who's started a petition on Change.org calling for the regulation of ticket re-selling.

  5. Why are people celebrating the murder of a health care CEO?

    Wednesday, December 18th 2024

    In the weeks since United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down on the street in Manhattan, the public’s reaction has become a major part of the story.

     

    While some condemn the killing of an innocent man, many are publicly celebrating the shooter’s act of violence.

     

    Why are so many Americans unfazed by the targeted killing of a CEO?
