This week on What Happened Next, host Nathan Whitlock is joined by author Shawn Micallef. His most recent book is a fully updated version of Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto, originally published by Coach House Books in 2010 and re‐released by Coach House in 2024. Shawn and Nathan talk about Shawn’s decision to finally abandon his X account, which had been a big part of how he explored cities, about how updating Stroll turned out to be a more onerous task than he originally thought, and about how writing a weekly newspaper column and becoming a parent has a funny way of delaying big new book projects.

Canadian Ranger Allen Pogotak shares his Arctic experiences and calls for greater focus on its defense and exploration. Former Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy examines Canada’s role in NATO, past contributions, and future challenges in a changing global landscape.

There is a growing generational divide in Canada’s housing landscape, one that’s not only pushing young people out of their communities but also leaving seniors behind. Housing advocate and author Kishone Roy outlines some of the key factors intensifying what they call “generational gentrification” and emphasizes the importance of reimagining housing not as a privilege but as a public good. Roy spoke at The Walrus Talks Equitable Housing in Vancouver on October 26, 2023.
