While world leaders meet and Israel’s war on Gaza spreads, Canadian MPs are at odds over recognizing a Palestinian state. How much does Canadian recognition really matter?

Ep 1031The Biggest Art Fraud Ring in History

E

The late Norval Morrisseau is known as Canada's Picasso. He was the father of the Woodlands style. His work was exhibited at the Pompidou Center in Paris, the National Gallery of Canada, and he was a member of the Order of Canada. Morrisseau is without question one of the most important painters in Canadian history. So why are so-called original Morrisseau paintings selling on eBay for $129? The answer is fraud. The market has been flooded with thousands of fake Morrisseau paintings and prints. In March 2023, eight people were charged and arrested in connection with these fakes and are now starting to be convicted. The police investigation started, in part, because of the Jamie Kastner documentary There Are No Fakes.Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Kevin O’Keefe (Fact Checking), max collins (Production Manager), Jesse Brown (Host and Publisher)Featured guests: Ryan McMahon and Jamie KastnerAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther information:There Are No Fakes — TVO8 charged over 1,000 paintings seized in Norval Morrisseau art fraud investigation — CBCMan who oversaw massive Norval Morrisseau art forgeries sentenced in Thunder Bay to 5 years in prison — RCISponsors: CAMH: CAMH is building better mental health care for everyone to ensure no one is left behind.

Ep 48Vérité, Guérison, Restitution, Réconciliation

Le 30 septembre est désormais la journée nationale de la Vérité et de la Réconciliation. Mais pour l’avocat, ancien député et organisateur communautaire Alexis Wawanoloath, on ne peut atteindre la réconciliation entre les Peuples autochtones et l’État colonial qu’en prenant le temps de mener un processus, long et difficile, de guérison et de restitution. Alexis Wawanoloath démontre que les intérêts politiques et économiques des agences gouvernementales priment toujours sur les droits des communautés autochtones, dans le continuum d’un projet colonial amorcé il y a des siècles. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie échange avec son invité sur la place des personnes autochtones dans les médias. Ensemble, ils se demandent comment dépasser le phénomène de ‘tokenisation’ et si tous deux doivent vivre avec ça. September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. But for the lawyer, former MNA and community organizer Alexis Wawanoloath, reconciliation between Indigenous Peoples and the colonial state can only be achieved by taking the time to undertake a long and difficult process of healing and restitution. Alexis Wawanoloath demonstrates that the political and economic interests of government agencies always take precedence over the rights of Indigenous communities, in the continuum of a colonial project that began centuries ago. In the second part of the show, Emilie discusses with her guest the place of Indigenous People in the media. Together, they wonder how to overcome the phenomenon of ‘tokenization’ and whether they should have to live with it.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), max collins (Coordination de production)Coanimation : Alexis WawanoloathPour en savoir plus :Alexis Wawanoloath sur FacebookLa journée de la Vérité et de la Réconciliation — APTNAutochtones et Hydro-Québec: le grand malaise des factures impayées — Radio-CanadaSuivre l’actualité au Liban — Al-JazeeraKwé, Bonjour (rattrapage) — Canal MSi vous appréciez ce podcast, soutenez-nous !

Ep 1028The Canadian Plan to Dig a Goldmine in the Amazon

E

Earlier this year, the UN Special rapporteur for human rights defenders raised concerns about a Canadian company called Belo Sun Mining. She said people protesting the Belo Sun mine, who she refers to as land defenders, report being threatened, harassed and intimidated - some even say they were driven off their land. But Belo Sun denies these allegations, saying that they care about human rights, and that the project would bring much-needed economic development to an impoverished area - and the government of Brazil has seemingly supported their efforts.  So who is Belo Sun - and how did they become the driving force behind the biggest proposed gold mine in Brazil? Are they guilty of the things that they're accused of? And if so, what can the Canadian government do to stop it? Host: Jesse Brown  Credits: Cherise Seucharan (Reporter), Sam Konnert (Audio Editor), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), max collins (Production Manager), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer)Additional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Canada failing to protect human rights activists from mining companies operating overseas: UN watchdog - Globe and Mail, 2024Canadian miners get high-level lobbying boost for Brazilian Amazon projects - Mongabay, translated from original by Agência Pública BSX Responds to UN Special Rapporteur Allegations About Its Business Conduct - Belo SunSponsors: BetterHelp: Canadaland listeners head to https://betterhelp.com/canadaland to get started today and enjoy 10% off your first month.

Ep 47Rokhaya & Emilie in Paris: racisme et sexisme dans les médias

E

Traumavertissement: La deuxième partie de l’émission discute de sujets douloureux en lien avec les violences faites aux femmes.Content warning: The second part of the show deals with traumatic topics connected to violence against women.Pas de souliers à talons sur les pavés parisiens pour Emilie, en visite dans la capitale française. Dans une ambiance bien moins aseptisée que celle du célèbre show Netflix, elle a rencontré Rokhaya Diallo pour lui poser une question brûlante: Comment fait-elle? Comment fait la journaliste, autrice et réalisatrice, femme noire française et musulmane, pour trouver l’énergie de débattre à la télévision et à la radio de racisme et de sexisme, des sujets si difficiles à aborder outre-Atlantique? Diallo décrypte les enjeux politiques et culturels qui paralysent le milieu des médias français et rendent ces discussions presque impossibles. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie et Rokhaya s’intéressent à l’affaire dite “des viols de Mazan” qui offre un éclairage inédit sur les luttes féministes et le sexisme à la française.No high-heeled shoes on the Parisian cobblestones for Emilie who’s visiting the French capital. A far cry from the innocuous atmosphere of the famous Netflix show, she speaks with Rokhaya Diallo to ask her a burning question: how does she do it? How does the French journalist, author, and director — a black Muslim woman — find the energy to debate racism and sexism on television and radio, two topics that are so difficult to tackle in France? Diallo deciphers the political and cultural issues that paralyze the French media community and make these discussions almost impossible to have. In the second part of the show, Emilie and Rokhaya focus on the so-called “Mazan rapes” affair, which offers unprecedented insight into the French feminist movement and the ‘made-in-France’ sexism.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), max collins (Coordination de production), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef) Coanimation : Rokhaya DialloMusique additionnelle : Audio NetworkPour en savoir plus :Ne reste pas à ta place! — EssaiKiffe ta race — Balado de Binge Audio avec Rokhaya Diallo et Grace LyFrance: Tapis rouge pour l’extrême droite – Détours #41Affaire des viols de Mazan: Décryptage d’un dossier effarant — La PresseSi vous appréciez ce podcast, soutenez-nous !

Elle décrypte pour nous les enjeux qui sous-tendent la campagne de Kamala Harris et les divisions qui menacent le camp démocrate, avant d’analyser les stratégies de communication du parti Républicain. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie et Kara reviennent sur l’art de mobiliser, la professionnalisation grandissante de ce champ d’activité, et les différences culturelles entre l’activisme politique américain et québécois.Since the nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate, the party leads the race by a few percentage points. To better understand what is at play behind the scenes, Emilie speaks with Kara Sheppard-Jones, a Canadian-American political and social movement expert. Sheppard-Jones has worked for several electoral campaigns, including in the United States. She deciphers for us the stakes underlying Kamala Harris' campaign and the divisions that threaten the Democratic camp, before analyzing the Republican Party's communication strategies. In the second part of the show, Emilie and Kara look at the art of mobilizing, the growing professionalization of this field of work, and the cultural differences between American and Quebec political activism.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), max collins (Coordination de production), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef) Coanimation : Kara Sheppard-JonesPour en savoir plus:Kara Sheppard-Jones sur LinkedInThe DNC should have had a Palestinian American speaker – The AtlanticAre Trump’s campaign rallies energizing his base – or sowing doubt? – The Guardian‘Being on camera is no longer sensible’: persecuted Venezuelan journalists turn to AI – The GuardianFrance: Tapis rouge pour l’extrême droite – Détours #41Power from below: State-society relations and intersectional organizing in Montreal – MA thesis, McGill UniversitySi vous appréciez ce podcast, soutenez-nous !

With Postmedia ending daily print editions of The Telegram — leaving Newfoundland and Labrador without a single daily paper — we wonder how to keep talking shit about the news when the news itself keeps on disappearing. Plus, while National Post columnist Adam Zivo’s unlikely foray into international espionage makes for a great anecdote, there's good reason why journalists shouldn’t moonlight as spies.Karyn Pugliese joins for this very special farewell to Jonathan Goldsbie.  Host: Jonathan GoldsbieCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), max collins (Production Manager), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guest: Karyn Pugliese Further Reading On Our WebsiteSponsors: Douglas:  Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced in May that Canada’s temporary visa program for Gazans would be expanded, from 1000 to 5000.

Ep 1016Marineland Guilty Under Animal Cruelty Laws. Why is it Still Open?

Part family-owned theme park and part roadside zoo, Marineland was once the kind of place where you could get kissed by an orca and feed corn pops to bears.But then it kept being that kind of place, well into this century, and the problems piled up: newspaper exposés, official investigations, a federal law designed to end the captivity of whales and dolphins once and for all. Yet the Niagara Falls mainstay would defiantly reopen year after year. Until this year. Marineland still welcomes visitors, but, like a dead mall, nearly everything inside is now closed.

Cette année à Montréal, le Festival de la Fierté a pris la forme d’une véritable vignette de l’année 2024, marquée par des pluies diluviennes et des inondations dues aux changements climatiques, des manifestations pro-Palestine, des policiers en grand nombre, et des droits civils toujours plus menacés pour les personnes de la communauté LGBTQIA+.

Most of us find joy in melodies and rhythms. Catchy tunes we hear at the coffee shop, in the mall, or even muzak in the elevator can get stuck in our heads. That's what happened to Anya. Except, music did not bring her joy; it felt like torture. When songs got stuck in Anya's head, they would not stop; the music was loud, pounding incessantly, and it left her bewildered, exhausted, and desperate for a cure.

Ep 1012The Astonishing Failure of Trudeau's Media Bailout

Justin Ling has kind of had it. While the veteran political journalist has endless patience for people in power trying to do the right thing, he can’t stand when a government refuses to see reality. So when Canada’s Heritage Minister reacted with surprise to the suggestion that, despite everything her government’s done for it, the country’s news media is still worse off than ever – well, that’s enough to radicalize a fella.On this week’s show, Karyn and Jonathan talk to Justin about his dispiriting interview with Pascale St-Onge, why he believes the Trudeau government’s efforts to save the media have been across-the-board failures, and what it would take to actually turn things around for this industry before it finally collapses and takes Canada’s democracy down with it.Correction: in an earlier version of this podcast it was stated 88 per cent of Canadians did not know Meta had wiped news from its platforms, this has been corrected.

Ep 44(Détours) Confessions d’une ex-journaliste sportive

Pour la première fois, les Jeux Olympiques comptent autant d’athlètes hommes que d’athlètes femmes. Pourtant, parité ne signifie pas égalité. Que ce soit sur les terrains de sport ou dans les salles de nouvelles qui leur sont dédiées, femmes et hommes ne reçoivent ni les mêmes moyens ni un traitement égal. Pour cette émission, Emilie Nicolas reçoit Emna Achour, ex-journaliste sportive reconvertie en humoriste. Emna lève le voile sur les coulisses de ces rédactions et analyse les différences de traitement entre athlètes femmes et athlètes hommes. En deuxième partie, Emilie et Emna s’intéressent au rôle de l’humour et des humoristes dans l’analyse des nouvelles, un rôle que notre invitée perçoit comme étant éminemment politique.For the first time, the Olympic Games showcase as many male athletes as female athletes. But parity does not mean equality. Whether on sports fields or in newsrooms dedicated to sports, women and men don’t benefit from the same resources, nor do they receive equal treatment. On today’s show, Emilie Nicolas welcomes Emna Achour, a former sports journalist turned stand-up comedian. Emna take us behind the scenes of sports newsrooms, and she and Emilie analyze the disparity between female and male athletes. In the second part of the show, Emilie and Emna examine the role of humor and comedians in the analysis of news - an eminently political role, says Emna.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Caleb Thompson (Production technique), max collins (Coordonnation de production), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef) Coanimation : Emna AchourPour en savoir plus :Emna Achour sur TikTok et InstagramThe Ball Game Is for the Boys: The Visual Framing of Female Athletes on National Sports Networks’ Instagram Accounts – Communication & SportThe Olympics aren’t gender-equal just yet and broadcast narratives around that matter – The Brock NewsFemmes en politique: femmes en péril? – Détours #40Besoin de légèreté - Détours #43Si vous appréciez ce podcast, soutenez-nous !  Vous pouvez écouter sans publicité sur Amazon Music, inclus avec Prime.If you enjoy this podcast, please support us!

D’après le Digital News Report 2024, 40% des Canadiens évitent souvent ou parfois de s’informer. Derrière cette fatigue informationnelle se trouvent différentes raisons comme l’accumulation de mauvaises nouvelles, leur quantité, leur piètre qualité et les émotions qu’elles nous font ressentir. Emilie Nicolas en parle avec la psychologue clinicienne, autrice et chroniqueuse Nathalie Plaat. Ensemble, elles analysent ce phénomène et s’interrogent sur la manière d’y faire face. En deuxième partie d’émission, on s’intéresse à la démocratisation de la psychologie et le rôle, parfois ambivalent, qu’elle joue dans l’espace public et l’espace médiatique. Université Laval’s “Centre d’études sur les médias” 2024 Digital News Report shows 40 per cent of Canadians often or sometimes stay away from the news. They’re doing it to avoid all the “bad” news: the sheer quantity of it, the poor quality of it, how it makes us feel, and how it piles up day after day. How do we deal with the seemingly never-ending bad-news cycle? Emilie Nicolas discusses this phenomenon with clinical psychologist, author and columnist Nathalie Plaat. In the second part of the show, Emilie and Nathalie look at the democratization of psychology, and the sometimes-ambivalent role it plays in both the public space and the media sphere.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Caleb Thompson (Production technique), max collins (Coordination de production), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef) Coanimation : Nathalie PlaatPour en savoir plus :Digital News Report 2024: Synthèse des données canadiennes — Centre d’étude sur les médiasChroniques de Nathalie Plaat — Le DevoirThe Rise of Therapy-Speak.

For forty years, Hal Newman worked in Emergency Medical Services. After retiring, he decided to start an online platform, The Last Ambulance, where he investigates the problems he saw in the EMS system. Messages started pouring in from EMS workers from across the country. Now his platform has become a voice for many health care and emergency service workers who are demoralized, exhausted, hanging on by a thread – and who are afraid to speak publicly about what is happening inside the system. Despite having worked in the system for so long, he didn’t realize just how broken it was until he started publishing The Last Ambulance.Host: Karyn PuglieseCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Additional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Chaque second compte — The Last AmbulanceYet Another Preventable Tragedy in Montreal — The Last AmbulanceA Child Dies as Ambulances Stall on Quebec First Nation — The RoverQuebec Leaves Another First Nation Without an Ambulance — The RoverLong wait for medical care likely played role in death of Atikamekw baby, Quebec coroner finds — CBCSponsors: Douglas: Canadaland listeners head to https://douglas.ca/canadaland to get a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Ep 42(Détours) Une guerre en chasse une autre

En février 2022, les grands médias occidentaux envoyaient des journalistes en Ukraine couvrir les premiers temps de l’invasion russe. Émissions spéciales, directs avec l’Ukraine et dossiers consacrés à la guerre fleurissaient dans les journaux, à la radio et au téléjournal. Qu’en est-il aujourd’hui, alors que le conflit israelo-palestinien occupe les esprits? Emilie reçoit Pierre Alonso, journaliste indépendant installé à Kyiv, pour faire le point sur deux années de journalisme de guerre et sur la vie quotidienne dans un pays encore sous les bombes. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie et Pierre s’intéressent aux journalistes ukrainiens et à leur travail. Limités par la loi martiale imposant des contraintes éditoriales, les journalistes locaux réinventent leur rôle tout en menant une lutte acharnée contre la corruption.In February 2022, major Western media outlets sent journalists to Ukraine to cover the early stages of the Russian invasion. Special shows, direct broadcasts with Ukraine and long pieces devoted to the war flourished in the newspapers, on the radio and on television.

Emilie speaks with Pierre Alonso, an independent journalist based in Kyiv, to take stock of two years of war journalism and daily life in a country still under siege.

Ep 1002Brain Disease ‘Mystery’ Still Unsolved, Scientists Say

“All I will say is that my scientific opinion is that there is something real going on in New Brunswick that absolutely cannot be explained by the bias or personal agenda of an individual neurologist.” Those are the words of Dr. Michael Coulthart, a microbiologist employed by our federal government, specifically by Public Health Canada. He’s talking about the mysterious neurological disease that is striking down people in New Brunswick. We were not supposed to read his words. They are from a leaked email obtained by Canadaland, first published by the newspaper The Guardian.Then there was another leaked email. Doctor Samuel Weiss, a neuroscientist and the scientific director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. In his leaked email, he states, “I felt incredibly optimistic that an all out government effort to unravel the mystery was in the cards. However, in short order, the scientific effort was shut down at the request of the governments.”It’s nine years since the first case was documented. The numbers, by some reports, have grown to over 300 suspected cases. And we still have no answers. Our reporters, Cherise Sucheran and Sarah Lawrynuik present the latest instalment in our ongoing investigation.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Cherise Sucheran and Sarah Lawrynuik (Reporters)Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Max Collins (Production Manager), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Additional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Second Canadian Scientists Alleges Brain Illness Investigation was Shut DownTop Canadian Scientist Alleges in Leaked Emails He Was Barred From Studying Mystery brain IllnessGovernment Officials Mislead the Public About the “Mysterious” New Brunswick Neurological Disease, and We Have the Documents to Prove itSponsors: Douglas, Article, Squarespace If you value this podcast, support us!

Ep 1000How They Crushed Wikileaks

E

This was a time when Assange and other punks like him were running circles around governments. It seemed like the ability for the powers that be to keep secrets was over. It was just done. Thanks to Assange et al we were going to know if a cell phone company was surveying everyone. We were going to know if a government assassinated a bunch of people who turned out to be journalists. We were going to know. And between Anonymous and Wikileaks and Edward Snowden, it was happening in a way that felt like it was a force of nature, and there was no containing it. The authorities, what could they do? Information wanted to be free.Then, it all ended. Julian Assange has been rotting away in Belmarsh prison in the UK. Edward Snowden tweets from Russia. Wikileaks. When's the last time they released anything? The Empire struck back. There were arrests, there were accusations, and the machine was surprisingly effective and merciless in containing the free flow of information and government secrets. That's what happened to all those guys. You don't hear about them much anymore. But what about Jacob Appelbaum? What about that guy? No, nothing? Name doesn't ring a bell? Jacob Appelbaum was known to the authorities as Wikileaks Associate Number Three. He was also once the toast of the cyber community, feted by European politcos, and making red carpet appearances.Then the accusations came. And it all ended for Appelbaum. Just like that nobody wanted to talk about Jacob Appelbaum.

Ep 41(Détours) France: Tapis rouge pour l'extrême droite

Après des résultats record aux élections européennes, l’extrême droite française est en passe de remporter les législatives. Si certains sont surpris, plusieurs observateurs ont remarqué que les idées d’extrême droite sont omniprésentes dans les médias depuis des années maintenant, notamment sur la chaîne télévisée CNews. Comment se déroule ce processus de banalisation? Quelles stratégies sont employées par les journalistes et les éditorialistes de CNews pour encourager la montée de l’extrême droite? Le journaliste de Médiapart Yunnes Abzouz en parle avec Emilie et démonte, brique par brique, la méthode CNews. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, on se tourne vers l’éditorialiste québécois préféré des médias français, et en particulier de CNews: Mathieu Bock-Côté. Yunnes explique comment le chroniqueur, auteur et sociologue emploie les mêmes stratagèmes que CNews, levant le voile sur les ressorts discursifs de la désormais célèbre “méthode MBC”.After record results in the European elections, the French far right is on the verge of winning the legislative elections. While some are surprised, several observers have noticed that far-right ideas have been omnipresent in the media for years now, notably on the television channel CNews. How does this process of trivialization take place? What strategies are used by CNews journalists and editorialists to encourage the rise of the far right? Médiapart journalist Yunnes Abzouz talks about it with Emilie and dismantles, brick by brick, the CNews method. In the second part of the show, we turn to the favourite Quebec columnist of the French media, and in particular of CNews: Mathieu Bock-Côté.

Can a newspaper commit treason? The NSICOP report singles out China as the biggest foreign influence on Canadian media (and it’s more than just advertorial inserts.) Joanna Chiu joins us to unpack the scale and scope of foreign propaganda campaigns in Canada. Is the daily coverage of campus protest encampments a form of bias, and what sorts of stories are getting missed as a result? Jesse responds to some tough questions about bias in the coverage of the war in Gaza.Clarification (June 21, 2024, 12:20pm ET): an unclear statement in an earlier version of this episode could be interpreted to mean that Shree Paradkar spread messages advocating for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Israel, which she did not.

Ep 998Nature is SO Gay

E

When Canadaland commissioned its new series “A Field Guide to Gay Animals” (listen to it here), the topic wasn’t really in the news. But since then, it’s started to take the world by storm. From rage on the extreme right, a documentary series on Peacock, to the first photos of humpback whale sex being male-male.And the relevance is more important than ever, legislation across Canada and the United States regularly denies queer rights, sometimes based on old-school notions that sex is about reproduction and the animal kingdom proves it. Except it doesn’t… 25 years ago, one Canadian scientist wrote a book that detailed the history and science of gay animals: Biological Exuberance.Today, podcast hosts Owen Ever and Laine Kaplan Levenson join Jesse to talk about the wonderful world of gay animals.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Additional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Biological Exuberance, by Bruce Bagemihl — Macmillan PublishersHumpback sex photographed for first time – and both whales were male — The GuardianPeacock’s ‘Queer Planet’ features lion ‘bromances,’ pansexual monkeys and more — NBCA Field Guide to Gay Animals — CanadalandSponsors: BetterHelp, Oxio, ArticleIf you value this podcast, support us!

Ep 996Dear Taliban: Part One

Less than a year ago, Investigative Reporter and former Network Anchor Molly Thomas had her dream job as a Correspondent for CTV’s flagship show, W5; with the backing of this team, she applied for the most prestigious fellowship in Canadian journalism, the Michener-Deacon Award.Molly won the Michener-Deacon fellowship for her special project on education in Afghanistan, the only country in the world where women and girls can't go to school. Then, as part of a series of nation-wide cuts from Bellmedia (who owns CTV), Molly was laid off and the story was shelved.That’s where Canadaland stepped in.                We’ve teamed up with Molly and the Michener-Deacon Fellowship to produce Dear Taliban, a new 3-part investigation that begins today.Dear Taliban spans three continents, taking listeners to the vice-regal pomp and ceremony of Rideau Hall, to one of the toughest hostile training programs in the world - all to prepare her for a complex and volatile area of South Asia.Host: Molly Thomas Credits: Tristan Capacchione and Caleb Thompson (Audio Editing and Technical Production), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Additional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: AG1 DouglasIf you value this podcast, support us!

Ep 40(Détours) Femmes en politique: Femmes en péril?

En politique municipale, provinciale et fédérale, les départs de femmes s’enchaînent.

Emilie reçoit l’autrice, essayiste et activiste Alexa Conradi pour mieux comprendre les racines du problème et les obstacles qui se dressent devant les femmes politiques. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Alexa Conradi explique ce que signifierait faire de la politique en féministe, et comment intégrer pleinement les valeurs de ce mouvement dans notre paysage politique actuel. Women keep leaving municipal, provincial and federal politics, due to intimidation, the questioning of their skills, or their relegation to less important roles.
