On the road and headed eastbound with George Stroumboulopoulos

Episode 2 brings us from the vibrant streets of Montreal to the Acadian shores of New Brunswick, exploring the children’s programming and cultural icons, like Mr. Dressup, that shaped generations. Along the way, we trace Quebec’s dual storytelling identity, the risks behind creative ambition, and the deep sense of national pride that carried Hockey Night in Canada all the way to space with Chris Hadfield.

From Ryan Reynolds' John Candy documentary to North of North

The final episode takes George from Toronto to Iqaluit, Nunavut, asking what it truly means to tell a Canadian story. Jay Baruchel and Emily Hampshire remind us that a culture unseen in its own art is no culture at all, while Ryan Reynolds explores why our stories are worth fighting for — not because they aren’t American, but because they are something entirely their own. And in Iqaluit, the creators and cast of North of North show us what’s possible when a community dares to build something from the ground up and bring Indigenous and Inuit stories to screens around the world. Canada’s stories are as vast and varied as the country itself, and this episode proves it.
