Canadaland

When working on one of our episodes of the Politics edition about tariffs, senior producer, Aviva Lessard wondered why there are no Canadian car companies.This question felt like too much of a digression for the episode about tariffs, but in doing some research on it, Sam learned that we actually used to have Canadian car companies going all the way back to Confederation in 1867.So buckle up for the bumpy road that Canada's cars have traveled. Producers Aviva and James Nicholson join Sam in the backseat as he tells them all about it.Host: Sam KonnertCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Tony Wang (Executive Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Publisher)Guests: Aviva Lessard, James Nicholson, Dimitry AnastakisPhoto: Courtesy of Dimitry Anastakis and UT PressAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther Reading:The Bricklin — CBC ArchivesThe Bricklin, Documentary — HistoryDream Car, by Dimitry Anastakis — UT PressVisionary Vehicles Project ArrowThis show is available exclusively to Canad
