What does Toronto’s response to the refugee crisis actually look like on the ground? Just across the street from the Canadaland office, a crisis unfolded: dozens of asylum seekers camping out as they were unable to get space in city shelters. Some had been there for weeks. After the federal government and the city both pledged that more support would be given to the asylum seekers, many were still there -  being helped by a tenuous system of volunteers, donated goods, religious outreach and good samaritans.Join reporter Cherise Seucharan and Editor in Chief Karyn Pugliese as they follow asylum seekers at 129 Peter Street as they search for a place to spend the night. Credits: Jesse Brown, Host & Publisher, Cherise Seucharan, Reporter, Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading:On Peter Street, a community steps up for asylum seekers abandoned to sleep on the sidewalk, Toronto StarCrossing the Darien Gap, CFRMayor Olivia Chow outlines next steps for housing asylum seekers in Toronto, CBCSponsors: Squarespace, Athletic Greens, PelotonIf you value this podcast, support us!

Last month the Globe and Mail reported that Anton Skyba, their photojournalist in Ukraine, applied to the Ukrainian government to have his press credentials renewed - and was denied. Ukrainian security services accused him of holding a Russian passport, demanded that he take a lie-detector test, and questioned whether his work as a journalist was aligned with Ukraine’s “national interests.”It was not an isolated incident. Last year, Ukrainian Security - the SBU - sent a list of names to their friends in the FBI. The SBU explained that it was a list of people who they suspected of spreading “fear and disinformation” about Ukraine through their Twitter accounts.  They asked the FBI to get Twitter to remove these peoples’ accounts - to censor them. One of the names on that list was Aaron Mate, a Canadian journalist who works for the website GrayZone.Skyba and Mate talk to Canadaland about the state of press freedom in war-torn Ukraine.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Sarah Lawrynuik (Reporter), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor in Chief)Further reading:Ukraine fails to renew media credentials for photographer working for The Globe - The Globe and MailIPI Tracker: media freedom alerts linked to Russia-Ukraine war - International Press InstituteSponsors: Oxio, Athletic Greens, SquarespaceIf you value this podcast, support us!

Vancouver’s SROs are home to some of the most vulnerable people in the province, and some of the most challenging housing to run. So when Atira Women’s Resource Society stepped up to run several buildings, concerns that the CEO was in a relationship with the CEO of BC Housing, the provincial corporation in charge of that housing, were dismissed. In the years that followed, there was growing concern about the conditions of the SROs, and why Atira’s portfolio kept growing.Recently an explosive report released by third party investigators Ernst and Young revealed the truth. This week’s episode by Cherise Seucharan looks at how a problem ignored for over a decade, came to light.Featured in this episode: Jen St Denis, reporter at The Tyee; Frances Bula, reporter, The Globe and Mail.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Cherise Seucharan (Reporter), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor)Further reading:Public housing in Vancouver called ‘crack shacks and brothels’, CBC, 2012The Housing Is Owned by the Province.

In the mid-2010s, BuzzFeed News seemed like the most exciting place in media: an almost cloyingly whimsical carnival of abundance where journalists were actually happy. At a time when everything else appeared to be crumbling, it burst with hope and possibility.Last month, after just a few years of layoffs and withering, it shut down for good.And if the quick life and death of BuzzFeed News represented the whole past, present, and future of media collapsed into a single decade, then BuzzFeed Canada was a micocosm of that, living fast and dying young in just a fraction of the time.Today, BuzzFeed Canada founding editor Craig Silverman (now with ProPublica) and longtime writer Elamin Abdelmahmoud (now with CBC Radio) sit down with Canadaland news editor Jonathan Goldsbie to look at how this strange thing got built up so fast, and what it was like on the inside as it rapidly slipped awayHost: Jonathan GoldsbieCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Noor Azrieh (Associate Producer)Further information:Definitive Oral History Of BuzzFeed News 2012–2023This Is The Definitive Oral History Of The Dead Toronto Raccoon That Went Viral2019 Canadian Association of Journalists McGillivray Award-winning articleThe Drone And The Damage DoneThe Wreck Of HMS Erebus16 Canadian Politicians Who Are Basically PokémonI Hate Myself Because I Don't Work For BuzzFeedSponsors: Oxio, Squarespace, Peloton, IndochinoIf you value this podcast, support us!

Avec France-Isabelle Langlois (directrice générale d’Amnistie internationale Canada francophone) et Maïka Sondarjee (professeure adjointe à l’Université d’Ottawa, cofondatrice de Femmes expertes et auteure), Emilie se penche sur la haine (en ligne) à laquelle les femmes s’exposent de plus en plus lorsqu’elles prennent la parole publiquement sur les enjeux qui leur tiennent à cœur. Pourquoi est-ce que l’arène publique devient de plus en plus violente ? Comment les femmes se sont-elles adaptées et comment résistent-elles ? Et qu’est-ce qui peut être fait pour venir à bout de cette violence ?Cette conversation a été enregistrée au Centre PHI à Montréal, le 8 juin 2023. Merci à l’équipe du Centre PHI.Emilie is joined by France-Isabelle Langlois (Executive Director of Amnesty International Canada Francophone) and Maïka Sondarjee (assistant professor at the University of Ottawa, co-founder of Femmes Expertes and author) to discuss (online) hatred women are increasingly exposed to when they speak out publicly on the issues that matter to them. Why is the public arena becoming increasingly violent? How have women been coping, and resisting? And what can be done to put an end to this violence?This conversation was recorded live at the PHI Centre in Montreal on June 8, 2023.

There's no beat more likely to get you an audience and a paycheck. It's trend-proof and recession-proof. Yes, true crime is freakishly popular right now, but it was never unpopular. Audiences have been showing up for gangster stories and murder stories and heist stories and scam stories steadily, for at least a hundred years, and probably a lot longer. It's big business.But it’s a business that can come with a personal cost for its practitioners.

While the press of today might not be reporting on aliens with the same fervour, many of the tropes from those days are still alive and well in modern-day journalism. Stories about how no one wants to work anymore, or how technology is killing the art of conversation, have been told for over 130 years… and counting. What are the tropes that keep coming back again and again? And are we really so different from the hysterical, partisan press of yesteryear? Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Cherise Seucharan (Reporter), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor)Further information:Paul Fairie on Twitter Think Like a Historian, Historica CanadaMaking National News: A History of the Canadian Press, Gene AllenLibrary of Congress: Chronicling America ArchivesSharp Wits and Busy Pens: The role of the Parliamentary Press Gallery over the years, Video Series, Carleton UniversityAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: Oxio, Article, Better Help, PelotonIf you value this podcast, support us!
