The pretendian phenomenon has been known and discussed in indigenous circles for years, but it's become mainstream Canadian news lately thanks to three big name exposés: Buffy sainte Marie, Joseph Boyden, and Michelle Latimer. These people were arguably the most famous indigenous songwriter in Canada, the most famous indigenous novelist in Canada and the most famous indigenous filmmaker in Canada. And all three were revealed to not actually be indigenous or at a minimum, all three misrepresented their ancestries and their community connections.But they are just the tip of the iceberg. The real issue with pretendians, according to a growing chorus of Indigenous leaders, is that Indigenous identity theft is vast and it poses an existential threat to First Nations. In the United States, the number of people who identified themselves as native has grown from 552,000 back in 1960 to 9.7 million in 2020. That is a growth rate almost ten times as high as overall population growth in America. And most of it did not happen because new native people were born. It happened because millions of people shifted their identities. Here in Canada, we have 1.8 million people identifying as Indigenous today, up from just under half a million in 1980. That is almost a 400% increase. And again, most of it is not because indigenous people are having so many kids. Most of it is happening because so many Canadians are deciding that they're Indigenous. So what happens when people with newly claimed and highly contested Indigenous identities outnumber the Indigenous people that precede them? Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Featured guests: Robert Jago, Angel EllisAdditional music by Audio NetworkFor more information:Find Pretendians on your favourite podcast appThe Newfoundlander — CanadalandAFN National Chief speaks at UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues — APTN NewsSponsors: AG1, CAMH, SquarespaceFor a limited time, get 6 months of exclusive supporter benefits for just $2/month.

Si l’on en croit les médias et les discours des politiques, les immigrants seraient responsables de toutes les difficultés culturelles et économiques que connaissent le Canada et le Québec à l’heure actuelle. Pour décrypter ces discours nauséabonds, Emilie reçoit Mireille Paquet, professeure au département de politique de l’Université Concordia et spécialiste des politiques migratoires. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, elles reviennent sur les campements pro palestiniens installés sur les campus canadiens, témoins de tensions entre la haute administration universitaire et la communauté étudiante et professorale.According to politicians and some media, immigrants would be responsible for all the cultural and economic troubles Canada and the province of Quebec are facing. To break down and analyze these xenophobic discourses, Emilie talks with Mireille Paquet, a Concordia professor of political science, who specializes in migratory policy. In the second part of the show, they look at the pro-Palestinian encampments on university campuses, which bear witness to tensions between university administrators and the student-professor community.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef) Coanimation : Mireille PaquetPour en savoir plus :L’immigration donne un coup de frein au vieillissement de la population - La PresseCrise à Québec Solidaire: Réinventer notre démocratie en faillite - La PresseUne semaine de campements à l’Université de Toronto - Radio-CanadaPour un temps limité, soutenez-nous et obtenez 6 mois de bénéfices exclusifs pour 2$ par mois!

Canadian media coverage of the war in the Middle East has, unsurprisingly, focused on the impact on diaspora communities here in Canada. We have heard about Jewish Canadians, Palestinian Canadians, and we have heard in general terms about the many Muslim communities across Canada and how this is affecting them. But there's one diaspora community that is increasingly at the center of this conflict, who we have heard very little about. And that is the Iranian community.Today on the show, three members of the Iranian-Canadian community, Amir Attaran, Samira Mohyeddin, and Kahve Shahrooz, join Jesse to talk about their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences about what is going on in their community.Editor’s note: In the introduction to this episode, Jesse says, “Canada is home to the second largest Iranian diaspora community in the world. There are 400,000.” According to Tehran, Canada is home to 400,000 Iranian-Canadians but Statistics Canada puts the number at closer to 200,000. In either case, Canada is still home to one of the largest Iranian diaspora communities in the world.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Featured guests: Amir Attaran, Samira Mohyeddin, Kahve ShahroozAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Canada has become a safe haven for officials from Iran’s monstrous regime — The Globe & MailThe Jews of my generation thought they would be exempt from history.

We’ve long heard about how the news business is failing - layoff after layoff, media execs have claimed that they have had no choice but to make cutbacks.In Bell’s latest round of 4800 layoffs, CEO Mirko Babic defended his decision to a parliamentary committee, claiming the company was struggling in a tough economic environment - and that news was part of what was bringing them down.But is that the full story? Because before Google and Facebook ate up advertising dollars, the Canadian media companies of the 90s made a bad bet. And it failed to pay off. And now… the news industry is taking the fall. Further reading:Corporate ownership of media has failed Canadians, Marc Edge, Canadian Dimension, 2024Bell Media Has Cut 1 In 4 Positions Since 2020 as Parent Company Keeps Dividend Rolling, The Deep Dive, 2024 Media convergence, acquisitions and sales in Canada, CBC, 2010Convergence after the collapse: The ‘catastrophic’ case of Canada, Marc Edge, Media, Culture and Society, 2011Financialization and the “Crisis of the Media”: The Rise and Fall of (Some) Media Conglomerates in Canada, Dwayne Winseck, Canadian Journal of Communication, 2010Host: Jesse Brown & Cherise SeucharanCredits: Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Sponsors: Betterhelp Douglas IndochinoAdditional Music by Audio Network.Support Canadaland at canadaland.com/joinYou can listen ad-free on Amazon Music—included with Prime.

Canadians have long thought of themselves as peacekeepers. But can we still make that claim today? Amid all of the the outrage towards our government over its relationship with Israel, are any protesters calling on Trudeau to send peacekeeping troops over there to intervene? When the guns finally fall silent there will likely be a call for some sort of peacekeeping force. But will Canada still be ready, or even willing, to resume our traditional role?There's really just one statistic worth sharing here to illustrate that Canadians have lost nearly all capacity for peacekeeping. In the mid 1990s, there were over 3000 Canadian troops deployed as UN peacekeepers around the world. Today there are 60. That means we’re now at 2% of our former capability. What the hell happened? We go looking for an answer for you today from Walter Dorn, professor of defense studies at the Royal Military College of Canada and the Canadian Forces College.

Il y a du pouvoir dans la réappropriation de son propre récit - c'est pourquoi Beata n'a pas seulement écrit un mémoire sur son expérience de fuite du Rwanda, mais aussi un recueil de poésie. Elle a cherché à retrouver des images qu'elle croyait exister, capturées par la BBC, d'un convoi de camions dans lequel elle était cachée pour fuir le pays - ce qui l'a menée à en découvrir davantage.La conversation examine le rôle des médias occidentaux dans le reportage sur le Rwanda à l'époque. Où se trouvait la presse internationale pendant le génocide et pourquoi le récit était-il si incomplet ? Pourquoi ce génocide n'a-t-il pas été empêché malgré les avertissements plus d'un an auparavant ?There’s power in re-appropriating your own story - which is why Beata has not only written a memoir about her experience fleeing Rwanda, but a book of poetry as well. She sought to track down footage that she believed to exist captured by the BBC of a convoy of trucks she was hidden in to flee the country - which led her on a path to discover more. The conversation examines the role of western media reporting about Rwanda at the time. Where was the international media during the genocide and why was the narrative so incomplete? Why wasn’t this genocide prevented despite warnings over a year prior?Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Aviva Lessard (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), André Proulx (Coordonnateur à la production), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef) Coanimation : Beata Umumbyeyi MairessePour en savoir plus :Culbuter le malheurLe convoiSi vous appréciez ce podcast, soutenez-nous !

When governments and corporations want to stay on top of the “threats” posed by protest movements — from climate campaigns to animal-rights advocacy — there’s one company that they tend to turn to: Welund. Founded in the UK in 2007, it expanded to North America about a decade later, setting up shop in Calgary (where it’s now called Foresight Reports). So who are they? And what does it mean when public-sector bodies farm out their intelligence gathering to a private firm?To find out, we put our own open-source intelligence skills to the test.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading:Secretive intelligence firm with Alberta government contract spying on journalist Brandi Morin — RicochetThe Private Intelligence Firm Keeping Tabs on Environmentalists — Mother JonesBAE spy named by campaigners is friend of leading Tory — The GuardianBP paid ex-MI6 spy firm to snoop on green campaigners — openDemocracyEp. 35 - Larry Hardcastle — Brilliant Business PodcastInformation commissioner finds feds withheld details of relationship with private spy agency — RicochetForesight Reports website — Welund North AmericaSponsors: Squarespace, AG1, Better HelpIf you value this podcast, support us!

As Elon Musk rails against content moderation in a disastrous interview with Don Lemon, Jesse and Ivor Shapiro reconsider Canada’s new approach to online speech. Is the Online Harms Act as Orwellian as Margaret Atwood thinks it is? Also, immigration is coming up a lot in the news these days. Is the recent media discourse actually….mature?Clarification: When Jesse reads from Bill C-63 Online Harms Act 17 he says "A person may, with the Attorney General's consent, lay an information before a provincial court judge if the person fears on reasonable grounds that another person will commit hate speech." He meant to say Section 17 "refers to existing parts of the criminal code that govern hate speech."Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guest: Ivor Shapiro   Further reading: Trudeau’s Orwellian online harms bill - The Spectator (UK)Margaret Atwood, Elon Musk call out Trudeau's 'Orwellian' hate speech legislation - National PostFinding a Way Forward for Jews and Palestinians in This Terrible Time [VIDEO] - Centre For Free ExpressionInfectious-disease scientist fired from Winnipeg laboratory surfaces in China - Globe and MailWe’re Falling Into Trump’s Trap… Again - PersuasionImmigration is making Canada's housing more expensive.

Andy Mill’s is the co-creator of The New York Times ground-breaking podcast, The Daily, and before that worked on the equally inventive and critically acknowledged podcast Radiolab. He’s also one of the very few journalists to gain the trust of J.K. Rowling for his series The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling. Finally, he’s been the subject of critical reporting from Canadaland for his work on the Peabody Award winning series for The New York Times, Caliphate. That series was stripped of the Peabody and Mills himself was “cancelled” for a combination of the Caliphate controversy and a series of attacks on twitter for his past work-place behaviour.It’s a rare opportunity to speak with someone with a CV like Mills’ and even rarer for Jesse to have the opportunity to come face to face with someone who has been the subject of intense scrutiny from Canadaland’s reporting.To hear an extended version of this interview, become a supporter by going to https://canadaland.com/joinTo learn more:Califail — CANADALANDAndy Mills’ Professional Website — Andy MillsCaliphate — The New York TimesThe Witch Trials of J.K.

Labour used to be a beat. A major beat for any newspaper. Which, you know, makes sense. Because what happens with work, with the world of work, that matters to so many more people than any other section in the newspaper, more than politics or foreign affairs or even business. But the age of the working person's newspaper is just about dead, and along with it, the labour beat.But maybe not to news audiences. We get constant emails from you asking us to take a closer look at work in Canada. The entire new season of our sister show Commons is called Work, and this week we hand the show over to the Commons team.

From Winnipeg to Wuhan, Canada is embroiled in an international spy situation, but why does no one seem to care anymore? Recent documents released from the investigation of scientist Dr. Xiangguo Qiu contain bombshells that may point back to the COVID lab leak theory. As the obituaries and puff pieces roll in, the Canadian media seems to have forgotten that Brian Mulroney was - in fact - divisive. Correcting the record on “Conservative Titan” Brian Mulroney. Clarification (March 18, 2024): While the Investigative Journalism Foundation’s Open By Default database includes roughly 20,000 records released by federal departments and agencies in response to access-to-information requests, The Globe and Mail’s Secret Canada project is broader in scope, encompassing summaries of more than 300,000 requests made to over 600 federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal institutions across the country.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson(Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guest: Jan Wong Further reading: Lies and scandal: How two rogue scientists at a high-security lab triggered a national security calamity - CBC News The big problem with the Winnipeg lab affair was obvious from the start: too much secrecy - CBC NewsDocuments reveal fired scientists shared information with China - The Decibel PodcastBrian Mulroney, 18th prime minister and Progressive Conservative titan, dead at 84 | Politics - Canadian PressGlobe editorial: Brian Mulroney, the last great prime minister - Globe and MailThe IJF launches ‘Open By Default,’ - Investigative Journalism FoundationChina ends 30-year tradition: premier's annual press conference - Reuters Sponsors: Calm, Douglas, Article If you value this podcast, Support us!

Let’s skip two years of horse race punditry and commentary. It's over already. Barring some unforeseeable act of God, Pierre Poilievre is not just going to win, he is going to stomp to victory. The Liberals will likely be rebuilding from close to scratch and this country might be looking at a good long period of right wing rule. What does that look like? What does it mean for housing, crime, and the media landscape?Today on the show, Jesse speaks with prominent journalists, Jen Gerson, Paul Wells, and Stephen Marche to find out more.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading: Conservatives open up a 19-point lead over the Liberals — Abacus DataJen Gerson’s Substack — The LinePaul Well’s SubstackStephen Marche’s websiteSponsors: Squarespace, Douglas, CFUV, Better HelpIf you value this podcast, support us!

Dans sa nouvelle autobiograhie, la professeure en droit transféminine Florence Ashley, théorise l’academic smut ou smut therapy comme la thérapie par l'écriture érotique. Gender/Fucking: the Pleasures and Politics of Living in a Gendered Body met en lumière le bordel de l'existence humaine à travers le récit de Florence - ses expériences romantiques, sexuelles, sa transition et des vérités qui sont beaucoup plus grandes qu’ille qui s'étendent à la jeune communauté trans actuelle. Les nouvelles politiques d'identité de genre annoncées en Alberta mélangent le droit des enfants avec le droit des parents dans un contexte où les corps et esprits des personnes trans sont déjà sous contrôle social, familial, politique, médical et juridique, et leur sentiment le plus profond par rapport à leur identité, constamment délégitimisé.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Laetitia Dogbe (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), André Proulx (Coordonnateur à la production), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef) Coanimation : Florence AshleyPour en savoir plus :Centre Canadien De La Diversité Des Genres Et De La SexualitéFlorence Ashley (2022) Banning Transgender Conversion Practices: A Legal and Policy Analysis Ashley, F., 2018.

Vice Media was once valued at 5.7 billion dollars - This week it closed its doors. One final episode of the podcast Cyber was released to give listeners a peek into what was going on at Vice. The staff knew something was amiss when the quality of the snacks began to deteriorate. The Liberals tabled Bill C-63 to take aim at online hate.

The Pikwakanagan First Nation seemed to be doing well - it has a good economy, high graduation rate, it has been revitalizing its culture, the books are tight. But things have gotten bad in the last five years. Pikwakanagan is not immune to the troubles infiltrating the towns surrounding it. Late last year, Chief Greg Sarazin declared a State of Emergency over Opioids in the small rural community, just 150 kilometers from Ottawa. When a crisis hits a city like Belleville it makes headlines, but First Nations are not getting attention, or all the help they need to fight addiction. They are relying, in many ways, on their own devices. There were at least five overdoses last year in a community with only 250 adults; that’s 1 in 50 people. Even more people must be using. But it's not just about those on reserve. When you count the cousins, the kids and the other family members living away, there have been dozens.  What happened, and what is the community doing to try and stem the crisis. Host: Karyn Pugliese Credits: Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer)Further reading: Pikwakanagan teen wins $50,000 prize for her community — Eganville LeaderOPP investigating death at Pikwakanagan — Eganville LeaderSaskatchewan First Nations sue Government of Canada over opioid epidemic — CTV NewsTreaty 6 Chiefs declare state of emergency over opioid deaths — APTNAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: Rotman, Squarespace, DouglasIf you value this podcast, support us!

The Alberta Premier has a UCP leadership election this year, and apparently she needs transphobic voter support more than she cares about keeping the government out of classrooms and kids’ pronouns. And invitations for Nazis, cancellations for Jews - we analyze the shameful takedown of NDP MLA Selina Robinson and try to figure out where exactly the line for cancellable offence is.Correction (Feb. 8, 2024): This episode originally described Susan Kim as a member of British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly, suggested that Premier David Eby allowed her to continue in her role after she apologized for casting doubt on the use of sexual violence by Hamas. Kim is in fact a Victoria city councillor who added her name to a late-October open letter that made reference to “the unverified accusation that Palestinians were guilty of sexual violence.” While Municipal Affairs Minister Anne Kang called on Kim to apologize (which she subsequently did), and declined to call for Kim’s resignation, Premier Eby himself did not weigh in.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Jess Schmidt (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guest: Rachel Matlow Further reading: Danielle Smith’s “Preserving Choice for Children and Youth” announcement video on XOpinion: Danielle Smith’s sex-ed policy changes are putting all Alberta teenagers at risk - John Ibbitson, The Globe and MailThe influence of conventions in the SCC's decision re: Ford's ministerial mandate letters - Emmett MacfarlaneJoni Mitchell performs at Grammys, 50 years after 1st win - CBC News Sponsors: Douglas, Squarespace, Ecojustice, oxio, Article, Athletic Greens, BetterHelp, Canva, Peloton If you value this podcast, Support us!

Two journalists, Kathleen Martens and Brandi Morin, have been closely following the ongoing crises faced by unhoused people, largely Indigenous, in so-called “tent cities”.

En début de semaine, la chroniqueuse Toula Drimonis a vu la publication en français de son livre "Nous, les autres", suite au succès de la version originale anglaise en 2022. Fille d'immigrants grecs, l'auteure partage son vécu ainsi que celui des immigrants d'autres horizons au sein de la société québécoise. Dans un contexte où les débats sur l'immigration retournent à l'avant-scène de l'actualité, Toula se joint à Emilie pour évoquer les risques liés à l'attribution de la crise du logement à l'immigration. Parallèlement, alors que les immigrantes sont surreprésentées dans des maisons d’hébergement du Québec, leurs voix sont-elles entendues dans le paysage médiatique actuel ?AVERTISSEMENT : Dans la deuxième partie de cet épisode, nous discutons de violence à caractère sexuelle et de violence basée sur le genre.

From cash cows to scapegoats, has there been a change in how we talk about international students? And how Canada’s provincial governments have, one by one, told the Canada Border Services Agency that they no longer want a role in a system decried as inhumane.Clarification: Canadaland would like to clarify there are other requirements to maintain a permanent residency in Canada. One such example is a residency requirement.

For years Canadian media has been saying that Canada is a world leader in regulating big tobacco and is a global success story when it comes to weaning the public off of cigarettes. Last week there were headlines about the decline of tobacco use in Canada — according to the World Health Organization stats that say we are beating just about every country when it comes to convincing people to kick the habit. Given the tone and the content of news coverage on Canada's anti-smoking effort, and you might have the idea that: Big Tobacco is in serious business trouble... unless vaping saves themThe Canadian government doesn't want anyone to smokePublic Health Canada is getting ready to ban cigarettes entirely, first to young Canadians, and eventually to everyone. According to Max Krangle, a lawyer who worked for Big Tobacco companies like RJ Reynolds for 12 years, you would be wrong. He says the cigarette business is more profitable than ever and that government regulations are the reason why. Correction: In a previous edition of this episode, the guest Max Krangle said that, to account for tobacco revenue loss, income tax would have to increase by 10%. Host Jesse Brown, misinterpreted this and asked if that would mean that tobacco revenue accounts for 10% of total tax revenue. Krangle mistakenly agreed. That exchange has been removed.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading: Contentious Counsel by Max A.

Activist Esra’a Al-Shafei has gone to extreme lengths to keep her image offline. But one day that privacy was breached — or so she thought. Her story is just one of many of the real life impacts of our development and use of artificial intelligence. Can Canada create a guardrail good enough to protect us — and our data — from these kinds of harms?

There’s a really popular Canadian politics YouTube channel with hundreds of anti-Trudeau videos. Something seemed a little fishy though. Jesse, Jonathan, and Karyn start pulling at a thread that ultimately takes their search to the other side of the world.There’s a video on YouTube titled “Trudeau’s Alleged AFFAIR with Minister of AFFAIRS” that baselessly suggests the prime minister’s marriage fell apart due to a dalliance with a member of his cabinet. It has 473,903 views.It’s the biggest hit for a channel called Street Politics Canada that, for more than a year, has been churning out anti-Trudeau content day after day. Street Politics claims to be an “independent news organization” based in Canada that is “clear and upfront” about their biases — but who are they, and why haven’t we heard of them before?Credits: Jesse Brown (Host & Publisher), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief), Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor, Podcasts) Sponsors: BetterHelp If you value this podcast, Support us!
