The Laughing Drum is a weekly satirical news and talk show that takes a sharply humorous look at Canadian and Indigenous politics, entertainment, arts and current events. In each episode, host Tim Fontaine uses actual news footage, field segments, interviews with guests and the Red Power Panel to dissect the issues facing Indigenous Peoples today.
In the season finale, The Laughing Drum looks at the literally never-ending saga of the Trans Mountain Pipeline, Quebec’s religious symbols law and Seattle’s non-Indigenous folks paying the rent. Plus, host Tim Fontaine bids farewell to the show!
