In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.

This new daily podcast from Village Media — ‘Closer Look’ — is all about the stories we tell.

Every weeknight, hosts Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith go beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.

On tonight’s debut episode: Charlie Angus’ war.

After serving more than two decades as an MP in Northern Ontario, New Democrat Charlie Angus chose not to run for re-election on April 28. But the 62-year-old is hardly retiring.

Instead, Angus has emerged as one of the leading Canadian critics of U.S. President Donald Trump — so much so that he is leading a self-professed “Resistance Tour.” 

Angus joins us tonight from Cobalt, Ont. to talk about his new mission, what he hopes to accomplish — and what he would say to Trump if he had five minutes in the Oval Office.

New episodes of ‘Closer Look’ drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. across the Village Media network. You can find every episode HERE or wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts.
