Not Canada based, but useful to help you practice:
Redacted: Declassified Mysteries. I recently listened to and enjoyed the episode called Operation Paperclip: America’s Secret Nazi Scientists. What I liked about it: It’s not Canadian focused content, but I do like how easy it was to listen to. I think this show can offer you interesting stories to follow from speakers who are not too difficult to understand.

99% Invisible. I really enjoyed the hosts. Their voices are easy to understand, and there’s a wide variety of stories there for you to check out. (It’s also not likely going to be Canadian focused, but you’ll get great practice here too. The episode I listened to the other day is called: The 15 Minute City. Give it a listen, and see what you think!
