In the 1960s and 70s, there was a fear that cult leaders were brainwashing young people into joining their new, strange movements.

Dans ce dernier épisode de l'année, Emilie Nicolas co-anime avec Aurélie Lanctôt, chroniqueuse au Devoir et doctorante à l'Université McGill. Revenant sur un été marqué par des feux de forêt records, les co-animatrices s'interrogent sur le paradoxe entre les effets de plus en plus tangibles des changements climatiques et l'absence inquiétante d'action politique de la part de nos gouvernements fédéral et provinciaux. Alors que les grèves se poursuivent dans le secteur public québécois, le gouvernement caquiste changera-t-il son ton lors des négociations en cours ?In this final episode of the year, Emilie Nicolas co-hosts with Aurélie Lanctôt, columnist for Le Devoir and doctoral student at McGill University. Looking back on a summer marked by record forest fires, the co-hosts reflect on the paradox between the increasingly tangible effects of climate change and the disturbing lack of political action on the part of our federal and provincial governments.

Usually when Canadaland does a story on reporters in conflict we’re talking to a reporter who has had boots on the ground, someone who’s dodged bullets in hot zones and has the scars and the PTSD to prove it. But not this time. This time we’re speaking with Anthony Feinstein a professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. He specializes in the psychological distress of journalists. He treats journalists as patients, and he does research into the kind of psychological trauma that commonly afflicts them. In fact, he created the field of study focused on psychological trauma in journalists - it simply did not exist before him. Host: Jesse Brown Guest: Anthony Feinstein, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.Credits: Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading:Moral Courage: 19 Profiles of Investigative Journalists by Anthony FeinsteinShooting War by Anthony FeinsteinIn the face of moral challenges, journalists need helpSponsors: Communauto Squarespace OxioIf you value this podcast, Support us!

Paru le 13 novembre dernier, Les têtes brûlées : Carnets d'espoir punk raconte l'attention médiatique qui a entouré Catherine durant son mandat. L’ex-députée se joint à Émilie, qui a elle aussi grandi dans la région de Québec, pour réfléchir à l'influence des médias – en particulier de la radio-poubelle – non seulement sur la politique provinciale, mais aussi sur la vie quotidienne de divers groupes marginalisés. Un échange sincère entre deux femmes de Québec qui dérangent.Following her mandate as a Québec solidaire Member of National Assembly from 2018 to 2022, Catherine Dorion set out to write a book. Released on November 13, Les têtes brûlées : Carnets d'espoir punk recounts the media attention that surrounded Catherine during her mandate. Catherine joins Emilie, who also grew up in the Quebec City region, to reflect on the influence of the media – and more specifically of trash-radio – not only on provincial politics but also on the everyday lives of various marginalized groups.

Editor’s note: An earlier version of this episode contained characterizations of slain Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar that Canadaland has been unable to independently verify, and as such have been removed.To put it lightly, Canada’s relations with India and China have lately been a mess, with allegations of assassination, retaliation, interference, and spying. And that was before a recent Globe report raised new questions about why China detained the “Michaels,” and before U.S. prosecutors charged an Indian national in a “murder-for-hire conspiracy” apparently connected to the killing of a Sikh activist in Surrey. Today’s conversation with Sam Cooper, the reporter who broke the story about alleged Chinese interference in Canadian elections, will take you inside the mess — and help make sense of it.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading: Spavor blames fellow prisoner Kovrig for Chinese detention, alleges he was used for intelligence gathering — The Globe and MailHow geopolitics caught up with Canada — Financial TimesSponsors: Oxio, Douglas, SquarespaceIf you value this podcast, support us!

Journalists report the news. They hear about a story, write it up, verify the facts, and then hit “publish”. But, occasionally a story comes in from someone else and then they, more or less, just hit “publish”.Public relations professionals are master spin doctors. They know how to get the story they want to tell, which may or may not be true (or at least not the full truth), published in major newspapers and sites across the country.Everyone does this: governments, corporations, institutions, police departments, and so on. And as the number of journalists in the country continues its slow decline, the number of people working in PR has increased by nearly eight times in the past thirty years. With that disparity, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to verify and dedicate time to every story that comes in.Journalist Cecil Rosner sits down with Jesse and Karyn for a rich discussion about the power that PR firms can hold in setting the narrative in what the public should think and believe.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading: Manipulating the Message: How Powerful Forces Shape the News — Dundurn PressClarification (December 12, 2023): In the conversation, host Jesse Brown remarks that he’s “never read a story from PressProgress that would embarrass or contradict the agenda of the NDP,” adding, “Maybe they can correct me on that.” Taking Jesse up on this offer, PressProgress editor Luke LeBrun draws our attention to five stories critical of policies from British Columbia’s NDP government, and, stressing the outlet’s journalistic independence, notes they have “no rules forbidding our journalists from criticizing the NDP or any requirement that they must dogmatically align with the NDP’s policies or messaging on anything.”Sponsors: Oxio, Communauto, Squarespace, University of King’s CollegeIf you value this podcast, support us!

Rick Mercer started his career as a media critic of sorts. He broke into the national consciousness with a one man show taking on an establishment journalist, called Show Me the Button: I'll Push It (or Charles Lynch Must Die). He talks to Jesse about his path from angry young outsider to palling around with politicians on TV. He also talks about developing his pioneering blend of news and comedy in This Hour Has 22 Minutes and The Mercer Report, why he wouldn’t do Talking to Americans in the Youtube age, and why political satire in Canada is far friendlier than its American counterpart. This conversation was recorded in September, 2023Sponsors: Oxio, The National Film Board of CanadaIf you value this podcast, support us!

For over five years, Canadaland has been investigating Thunder Bay, Ontario. Specifically, we have been trying to figure out why there were so many unanswered questions around the deaths of Indigenous people in this one Ontario town. We have looked at the cops. The schools. The courts. The  government. The people in the town itself. But we never looked at the coroners and the forensic pathologists who are a central part of death investigations.

This is chapter 2 of a mini series. To listen to all episodes, become a supporter at https://canadaland.com/joinWhen Newfoundland joined Canada as the tenth province in 1949, both the new province and the federal government neglected to mention in their terms of union that any indigenous people lived there. That meant Canada had no legal obligations to Mi’kmaq or Innu under the Indian Act. So First Nations peoples there were left out.Over the decades, Mi’kmaq on the island fought for official recognition. Following the creation of Miawpukek First Nation (Conne River) in the early 1980s, the federal government finally agreed in the 2000s to recognize Mi’lkmaq in Central and Western Newfoundland, The Qalipu Mi’kmaq First Nation was formed. More than 100,000 people applied to join the new band, leading many to question the authenticity of those claims. Justin speaks with experts and Qalipu community leaders to figure out how the community defines who is or isn’t Mi’kmaq. He wants to know because he and his family enrolled with Qalipu, but as Justin learned more about his ancestry, he began to question whether that claim was legitimate.And if that claim wasn’t legitimate, what would that mean for the thousands of other Qalipu members? Host: Justin BrakeCredits: Justin Brake (Writer & Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading: In landmark decision, Newfoundland appeal court judge lays out criteria for journalist protections when reporting at protests — Globe & MailProliferation of self-identified Indigenous people represents “new wave of colonialism” — APTN NewsAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: Douglas, The Toronto Symphony OrchestraIf you value this podcast, support us!

Jill Heinerth is one of the most accomplished aquanauts in the world. With over 8500 dives, she is hired by some of the most notable names in film and television, from David Suzuki, to James Cameron. But her life isn’t all about shooting epic underwater scenes for the big screen, a lot of her life is doing research in underwater caves, looking at organisms that few have ever seen before. She does this as part of scientific research that leads to groundbreaking medical discoveries, with applications for AIDS, breast cancer, and even COVID. These dives are dangerous though, and each time she goes under, could be her last.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: Official website — Jill HeinerthExplorer-in-Residence — Royal Canadian Geographical Society'I’m not afraid of dying': Cave diver's latest obsession is underneath the Ottawa River — Ottawa CitizenAdditional music by Tristan Capacchione and Audio NetworkSponsors: The Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Article, Athletic GreensIf you value this podcast, support us!

To listen to all episodes, become a supporter at https://canadaland.com/joinIn 2001, 9/11 forced airplanes from all over the world to suddenly land in Newfoundland. As communities responded to the crisis and welcomed people into their homes, there was a chance encounter between a Rabbi from England and an elderly person from Gander, Newfoundland: Edward Brake, grandfather of reporter Justin Brake.Edward told the Rabbi that he was a Holocaust survivor and had suppressed his Jewish identity his whole life. But now, he said, it was time to share his story before it was lost forever. How could the entire Brake family be unaware of this history? If the story is true, what does that mean for Justin? Justin sets off on a quest, speaking to family and digging through provincial archives in search of answers.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Justin Brake (Writer & Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading: The Day the World Came to Town — HarperCollins PublishersMeet the rabbi who got stranded in Newfoundland on 9/11 — Canadian Jewish NewsAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: Elijah Craig, Athletic Greens, King’s UniversityIf you value this podcast, support us!

Le gouvernement caquiste du Québec a récemment proposé une nouvelle mesure qui, selon le premier ministre François Legault, protégera la langue française. Cette mesure consiste à augmenter les frais de scolarité pour les personnes non-québécoises souhaitant étudier dans une université au Québec. Comme cette hausse aurait certainement un impact sur les universités anglophones qui accueillent un grand nombre d’étudiant.es de l'extérieur de la province, les médias à travers le pays ont rapidement exprimé leur inquiétude. Andrew Parkin, directeur général de l'Environics Institute, se joint à Emilie pour discuter de la façon dont cette nouvelle mesure influence la perception du Québec par le reste du Canada. Andrew nous offre également un aperçu d'une nouvelle enquête par l’Environics Institute et l’Initiative du Siècle qui démontre que les attitudes envers l'immigration sont en train de changer parmi les Canadiens. Quebec's CAQ government recently proposed a new measure which, according to Premier François Legault, will protect the French language. The measure involves raising tuition fees for non-Quebecers wishing to study at a university in Quebec. As this increase would certainly have an impact on English-language universities, which welcome a large number of students from outside the province, media outlets across the country were quick to express their concern. Andrew Parkin, Executive Director of the Environics Institute, joins Emilie to discuss how this new measure affects the rest of Canada's perception of Quebec. Andrew also provides an overview of a new study by the Environics Institute and the Century Initiative, which shows that attitudes towards immigration are changing among Canadians.Animation: Emilie NicolasGénérique: Nancy Pettinicchio (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef)Coanimation: Andrew ParkinPour en savoir plus :Tarifs pour les étudiants non résidents : Québec garde le cap, malgré la grogne – Radio-CanadaSarah Jama expulsée du caucus : soutien des citoyens, divisions au NPD – Radio-CanadaSarah Jama sur XDoug Ford sur X Si vous appréciez ce podcast, soutenez-nous !

Award-winning podcaster Connie Walker joins Jesse in studio to talk about the problems and racism she faced at the CBC, including the pushback she received when trying to tell stories about Indigenous women. But that racism and pushback didn’t deter her. During her time at the CBC, she created what is now known as CBC Indigenous. She also created the hit podcast series Missing & Murdered which, despite its success, was canceled after two seasons. She remains committed to telling those stories, making sure that they are more than just footnotes in Canadian history, with her work on the series Stolen, at Gimlet Media, for which she recently won a Pulitzer Prize and a Peabody award.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 Listening: Missing & Murdered, Season 1, Season 2 — CBCStolen — SpotifySponsors: Elijah Craig, ArticleIf you value this podcast, support us!

Journalism in Canada is fighting for its life. Support Canadaland now.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 nearly half a million 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?On this week’s CANADALAND, host Jesse Brown, editor-in-chief Karyn Pugliese, and news editor Jonathan Goldsbie start pulling at a thread that ultimately takes their search to the other side of the world.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further Reading: Street Politics Canada — YouTube ChannelGeek Labs Holdings — LinkedIn ProfileAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: Elijah Craig, Douglas, IndochinoIf you value this podcast, support us!

In 2016, a 56 year old Saskatchewan farmer named Gerald Stanley shot an unarmed 22 year-old Indigenous trespasser named Coulten Boushie in the back of the head. Stanley was acquitted of murder in 2018 — and nobody was happy.Indigenous people considered the verdict proof positive of racial bias in the courts and a tacit declaration of open season on Indigenous people, including hunters, who take their lives in their hands when they exercise their treaty rights to access land.Meanwhile, rural settlers in Saskatchewan formed a facebook group called Farmers with Firearms to protest slow RCMP response times to what they considered a growing epidemic of rural crime. 8500 people joined, and the comment section was filled with anti-Indigenous rhetoric and vows to exercise vigilante justice on anyone who sets foot on their property.How do these two seemingly irreconcilable groups… reconcile?Some Saskatchewan farmers and Indigenous hunters are trying to figure that out. As you might expect, reconciliation isn’t always easy.Freelance reporter Kerry Benjoe brings you this true story from Saskatchewan, on this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Kerry Benjoe (Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further Reading: The Treaty Land Sharing NetworkThe Gerald Stanley Case — The Canadian EncyclopediaSponsors: Article, Elijah Craig, RotmanIf you value this podcast, support us!
