1:25The panel weighs whether degrees still matter and how much preparation students must do beyond school.
3:16Changing careers in your twenties prompts disagreement about responsibility, timing and privilege.
4:28Participants counter the work-shy stereotype with demands for fair compensation and respect.
6:06Financial stability means family plans, travel and less constant stress, depending on whom Michelle asks.
7:22In the park, the group considers guilt about resting and the pressure of social media information overload.

Daniel Finger has a straightforward answer to the stereotype that Gen Z doesn't want to work: "Of course we want to work, we just want to be treated like people."

That exchange sits at the center of CBC's most-watched new upload, "Count Us In Episode 04. Setting the Record Straight | Paid Content with Desjardins". The episode is paid content sponsored by Desjardins. Host Michelle Spina reunites six participants at a bowling alley, pairing friendly competition with questions about degrees, career changes and what financial stability actually means.

The conversation gets more personal than a debate about generational labels. Starting over in your twenties raises a question of privilege; resting brings guilt; financial security means different things, from travel to relief from constant stress. After bowling, the group moves to a park to consider work-life balance and what keeps them optimistic. The episode has reached roughly 13,000 views and carries the most daily momentum among the channel's active videos.

Hudson Williams supplies another substantial thread. The Heated Rivalry star discusses mixed heritage and belonging with autistic and neurodivergent interviewers, while separate clips explore his purchase regrets and ambitions to write, direct and act in his own films. CBC also marked its ninetieth anniversary, looking back to its beginnings in 1936.

Across the catalogue, CBC added about 1.8 million weekly views. Subscriber growth was modest, though the week's gain accounted for half its monthly increase. Channel 4 and Foxtel had larger viewing weeks among nearby television channels; CBC's own daily viewing is above its usual level, with the bowling discussion providing its busiest individual upload.
