This week on the first episode of our third season: We unveil our new theme song!

We speak to a group in Calgary that is proposing a new holiday that is in dire opposition to Earth Hour called Innovation Hour. With the help of our pals at Stats Canada, we give you some statistics on how Canadians get to work.

The town of Napanee wants to erect a bronze statue of a famous former citizen. It will either be of Sir John A MacDonald or Avril Lavigne and we talk to the man who has to make this difficult decision.

Thanks to a listener tip left on our new This Is That Tip Line, we'll give you all the details on the next Royal visit to Canada.

Our resident linguist Neve Chandle stops by to talk about proper pronunciation.

And our new correspondent Caitlin Howden, profiles a unique kind of theatre in Edmonton that is marries car culture, fast food and Shakespeare.   

Plus, we play your calls in response to our story about the Canadian Army spending a majority of their budget on combat mountain bikes.

A reminder, we will be performing a live version of our show on Sept. 20th in Vancouver and on Sept. 26th in Calgary. For more information, check out this post.
