It’s not a secret that music makes us feel things, but how does it do it? How do composers create music that makes us happy, sad, confused, emotional, hopeful, scared, and perhaps even make us laugh from time to time?
This week on Off The Record, producer Tristan Capacchione chats with his old colleagues and associates about the secrets of music and gives you a bit of insight into how we choose and use music at Canadaland.

The Canadian Armed Forces has an extremism problem, and that story has fallen out of the news cycle way too quickly. Just recently, four men have been arrested in an alleged violent extremist plot to reclaim land near Quebec City. Plus, the CAF is investigating a private Facebook group where active members shared content deemed “abhorrent” by military leadership.
Host Noor Azrieh talks to Andy Knight about his explosive report on white supremacy in the military, and whether extremists are being drawn in, or shaped from within.

Canada is now the number one provider of medical assistance in dying in the world per capita. The latest stats, from 2023, show that MAID accounted for almost 5% of all deaths in Canada, or around 15,000 people in that year. And it’s only been legal since 2016.
MAID was introduced for patients who were experiencing intolerable suffering, irreversible decline and whose death was foreseeable. Within a few years it was expanded to cover people who are not close to death but who are living with chronic illness or disabilities and facing intolerable suffering.
Canada’s number one spot on the global stage and the expansion of MAID eligibility has attracted the attention of the United Nations. The UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities issued a report that raised questions about access to housing, social support, and healthcare, especially for people with disabilities. It noted that the suffering that qualified these people for the recent expansion to MAiD is suffering that might have been avoided if their needs were met by the Canadian government.
Today we're going to meet four people, all with experience on the front lines of the debate, some of whom have been in the room witnessing firsthand death by MAID.

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.

For over 40 years Burtynsky’s camera has captured mountain ranges scarred and scooped from mining operations, roiling tar sand tailing ponds, and fractal river systems alight with red industrial sludge. His work is a catalogue of the awesome destructive power at the root of our industrial culture.
And yet, Burtynsky’s images are beautiful. That contradiction of beautiful destruction has fuelled the praise and criticism around Burtynsky for decades.
Ed Burtynsky’s is probably the biggest deal this country has every produced in terms of landscape photography. He’s won countless awards, he has nine honorary doctorate degrees, he’s an Officer of the Order of Canada, his work is collected and displayed in galleries around the world.
He joins us to unpack that career and the critique that frames his photography.
