CANADALAND

Last Monday, U.S. president-elect Donald Trump posted to his beloved Truth Social with a hefty threat. If Canada and Mexico don't get the border in order, or the drugs in check, he’ll slap a 25 per cent tariff on all goods. These tariffs could crash several major U.S. industries and ruin Canada’s economy. But this isn’t the first time Trump’s threatened Canada. Host Noor Azrieh sits down with Vipal Monga to ask, did Canadian politicians learn anything from dealing with Trump the first time around, or are they stumbling into Trump 2.0 just as clueless?And, the latest on a BC lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributors and alleged interference in the Conservative leadership race that got Conservative Leader Pierre Polievre elected.Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Post Production), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Vipal MongaFurther Reading On Our WebsiteSponsors: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

More than one million Canadians have dental care under the new national insurance plan, with an average spend of $730 per patient. By 2025, the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) will expand in a big way, and will cover 6 million additional Canadians. As taxpayers start to foot the bill for dental care, how do we make sure dentists are not overprescribing services for their patients?Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Kevin O’Keefe (Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio & Creative Production), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Additional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: CAMH: CAMH is building better mental health care for everyone to ensure no one is left behind.

Parliament froze in late September after the Conservatives launched a privilege motion, bogging down the government and demanding the Liberals hand over documents relating to a “green slush fund.”Since then, the House has been on pause – no bills, no legislation, no nothing. Despite important government matters, this freeze could go on for a very long time, costing taxpayers millions. Laura Osmon, The Logic’s Ottawa reporter, joins the show to make sense of this procedural nightmare, and explain how we could get out of this gridlock.Host: Sam KonnertCredits: Aviva Lessard (Producer), Sam Konnert (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Director of Audio), Cherise Seucharan (Editor), Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Laura Osmon, MP Peter JulianBackground reading:No clear end in sight as House of Commons gridlock approaches 2-month mark | CBC NewsTrudeau to unveil GST relief in multibillion-dollar affordability announcement | Globe and MailHouse filibuster is putting money for military, dental care, and keeping the government lights on at risk | The Hill TimesSponsors: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Alors que les médias et les acteurs du milieu politique ne cessent de rejeter la faute de la crise du logement sur l’immigration, Détours se propose de regarder le problème en profondeur et de remonter jusqu’aux années 1960 pour en comprendre les origines. Au micro d’Emilie Nicolas, la professeure en études urbaines Hélène Bélanger analyse les raisons de cette crise multifactorielle et démonte, brique par brique, les fondements de notre culture de la propriété. En embrassant le point de vue des locataires, premières victimes de la crise et souvent considérés avec un certain mépris, Emilie et Hélène s’attaquent de front à un enjeu qui semble parfois sans issue. En deuxième partie d’émission, elles s’intéressent à l’itinérance, visible et cachée, aboutissement de trajectoires de vie rendues plus difficiles par la crise du logement.While the media and political actors continue to blame immigration for the housing crisis, Détours takes a deep look at the problem, going back to the 1960s to understand its origins. Emilie speaks with urban studies professor Hélène Bélanger to analyze the reasons for this multifactorial crisis. They dismantle, brick by brick, the foundations of our culture of property and embrace the point of view of tenants, the first victims of the crisis, often regarded with a certain contempt. In the second part of the show, they focus on homelessness and view it as being the outcome of life trajectories made more difficult by the housing crisis.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), max collins (Coordination de production)Coanimation : Hélène BélangerPour en savoir plus :Profil d’Hélène Bélanger sur le site de l’UQAMExplosion des amalgames entre immigration et crise du logement dans les médias — PivotInvestors, not immigrants, are fuelling the housing crisis — The BreachItinérance: Un état d’urgence réclamé à Montréal — La Presse Si vous appréciez ce podcast, soutenez-nous !

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tabled a rehauled Bill of Rights with changes aimed at ending vaccine mandates, protecting gun ownership and ensuring property rights–a move she claims as “reflection of our shared values.” But it doesn't stop there, over 30 bills are making their way through the Alberta legislature, so host Noor Azrieh sits down with Ryan Jespersen and Mel Woods to make sense of the controversial changes and make sense of whether or not this bold stand for freedom (or play for Smith’s right-wing base) may alienate other Albertans.And, the latest on the Canada post strike, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s 7 minute video addressing the mistakes made on immigration. Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Ryan Jespersen, Mel WoodsBackground reading:Alberta Bill of Rights Premier Danielle Smith announces plan to reinforce vaccine choice in Alberta Bill of Rights - CBC NewsThings ‘more intense’ since Alberta policies dropped, says mom of trans kid - Xtra MagazineCanada Post, union to return to bargaining Monday after federal government appoints special mediator - Toronto StarWhy Canada’s changing its immigration systemSponsors: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Journalists have flocked to Substack. Abandoning legacy titles to pursue self-puslishing freedom at the occasionally controversial app. Substack has incubated Bari Weiss's Free Press and Andrew Sullivan’s The Weekly Dish. Here in Canada, a lot of names that Canadaland listeners may be familiar with are thriving on Substack: Terry Glavin, Sam Cooper, Justin Ling, Jen Gerson and Paul Wells to name a few..Valued at 650 million dollars and lauded as a threat to Twitter.  It is a rare sign of hope and innovation and a working revenue model in a very desolate media landscape. And all of that has come with the usual share of controversies.Top of that list was their “Nazi problem.” They garnered headlines and debates about freedom of expression when it was revealed that there were, yes, Nazi Substacks charging money. And the parent company, apparently taking their cut of those profits. Today Substack founder Chris Best joins Jesse Brown to debate Substack’s controversies and discuss its possibilities with leading Canadian Substackers, Jen Gerson of The Line and Paul Wells. Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Featured guests: Chris Best, Jen Gerson, Paul WellsFurther reading:The Line — SubstackPaul Wells — SubstackSponsors:AG1:  Every week of November, AG1 will be running a special Black Friday offer for a free gift with your first subscription, in addition to the Welcome Kit with Vitamin D3+K2.

Last week, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese landed in Canada, setting off a firestorm of controversy that Canadian politics was not ready for. She’s been accused of antisemitism, refused meetings by government officials, and had her talks protested.She’s been calling the war in Gaza a genocide, but the big question isn’t what she has to say, but whether or not she was someone anyone should even be listening to.This week, we sit down with Albanese to discuss the genocide, the accusations against her, and the power of the UN.Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Production Manager) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Francesca AlbanesePhoto credit: AFP picBackground reading:UN rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories says she was ‘snubbed’ by Canadian government - Toronto StarCanada refuses to comment on US sale of Canadian-made weapons to Israel - Al JazeeraCalls mount for Canada to bar UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese over antisemitic remarks - National Post UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories holds news conference30 Jewish Organizations: We Support UN Human Rights Rapporteur Francesca Albanese Sponsors: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

When COVID hit, the airlines were sitting with billions of dollars in cash that Canadians paid for flights that were all canceled. How much of that money was refunded? Why were vouchers offered instead? And why did the transport regulator that’s supposed to uphold the rules bend them to the advantage of Air Canada and other carriers? Reporter Cherise Seucharan has obtained newly-unearthed communications from March 2020 that show airline industry execs,  credit card companies,  and the transportation ministry, cooperating - perhaps collaborating, to pressure Canada’s airline watchdog to bend the rules. Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Cherise Seucharan (Reporter) Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor/ Mixer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher), Caleb Thompson (additional production assistance)Featured guests: Gabor LukacsAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther Reading on our WebsiteAG1 Oxio: Canadaland listeners get their first month of internet free at https://canadaland.oxio.ca, use the promo code “Canadaland”PolicyMe: Head over to https://policyme.com and secure your Health and Dental coverage in just 5 minutes – no medical questions needed! BetterHelp: Canadaland listeners head to https://betterhelp.com/canadaland to get started today and enjoy 10% off your first month.

Questioning authority is a necessity for a functioning democracy. Continually calling power to account has to be a good thing, right? Maybe not, at least not all the time. So argues today’s guest, philosopher Mark Kingwell.Have we let “speaking truth to power” degenerate into a Pavlovian response to any and all real, or merely perceived, sources of authority? Has this drive to habitually challenge institutions endangered politics, academia, science, and journalism?Mark Kingwell joins Jesse to explore these questions which lay at the heart of his new book Question Authority.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor/ Mixer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher),Guest: Mark KingwellFurther reading:Question Authority - Mark Kingswell Upcoming BookCan we rescue civility in public discourse?Sponsors: Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

La guerre au Moyen Orient impacte les Canadiens d’origine arabe de diverses manières. Pour Rim Mohsen, québécoise d’origine libanaise, l’un des changements les plus personnels a été celui de réévaluer et repenser son identité et ses interactions avec les autres. Au micro d’Emilie Nicolas, elle se confie sur la difficulté de naviguer entre deux mondes qu’elle gardait jusque là séparés. La consultante et spécialiste en mobilisation sociale discute aussi de ce que signifie l’espoir alors que le monde brûle. L’espoir, dit-elle, passe par le collectif. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie et Rim se tournent vers la jeunesse pour faire sens de sa détresse et, peut-être, y apporter des solutions.The war in the Middle East impacts Canadians of Arab origin in various ways. For Rim Mohsen, a Quebecer of Lebanese origin, one of the most personal changes was that of reassessing and rethinking her identity and her interactions with others. She confides in Emilie Nicolas about navigating between two worlds that she had until then kept separate. The consultant and social mobilization specialist also discusses what hope means as the world burns. Hope, she says, comes through the collective. In the second part of the show, Emilie and Rim turn to young people to make sense of their distress and, perhaps, provide solutions.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), max collins (Coordination de production)Coanimation : Rim MohsenExtraits supplémentairesSi vous appréciez ce podcast, soutenez-nous !

But if you actually look under the hood you’ll discover that they stopped printing the newspaper in Regina. They stopped editing it in Regina. The editor lives somewhere else. And as far the CBC goes, well, that acronym is now synonymous with layoffs. Everyone from the legacy media who purports to be telling people in Regina what is going on in their own community is doing so with less resources than ever before. These are zombie news organizations. That creates a news vacuum. A place for someone new to step in. And somebody did.And that somebody peddles garbage. That's not a value judgment of this new news source in Regina. It's just the objective truth. They're a garbage company called Just Bins. They provide dumpsters and news to the people of Regina.

It’s all about the T.“T” as in the T at the end of ChatGPT. That T stands for Transformer. And it’s already transforming many aspects of your life. Novelist and essayist Stephen Marche recently investigated that T for the New Yorker magazine. He came away from the experience saying that it is the most important story he’s ever written.  His piece details what he calls the Manhattan Project of our time. He also calls it, simply, magic, and he then goes on to define  magic as “the word we use for things that are hugely powerful but we don't understand why.”Marche joins Jesse Brown to tackle the questions: why was Toronto a hotbed for A.I. (as marked by last week’s awarding of the Nobel Prize to U of T prof Geoffrey Hinton for his pioneering work in the field)? Why is the Japanese punk band Transformer at the very heart of this whole story? And why exactly does Marche equate T with magic?Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher), Caleb Thompson (additional production assistance)Featured guests: Stephen MarcheAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Was Linguistic A.I.

Dans le Canada de 2024, beaucoup se sentent exclus, déshumanisés et se rendent compte que la place qu’ils croyaient occuper n’existe pas en réalité. Pour faire face à cet enjeu existentiel, et pour faire sens d’un monde hostile et brutal, Emilie Nicolas a invité le sociologue Philippe Néméh-Nombré. Le professeur de l’Université Saint-Paul (Ottawa) est auteur d’un nouveau livre, ‘Improviser le reste. Études noires, risques poétiques, relationalité décoloniale”, dans lequel il explore le rôle des études noires, de la débrouillardise et de l’inventivité pour se réinventer. Ensemble, Emilie et Philippe discutent de la manière dont les études noires permettent de critiquer et comprendre le monde contemporain et ses rapports de pouvoir. Ils montrent que les études noires peuvent nous outiller pour mieux définir notre place. La deuxième partie de l’émission s’intéresse aux campus universitaires: comment est-ce que les étudiants, notamment étrangers, vivent le contexte actuel? Et quelle place occupent les études noires dans les universités francophones?In Canada, many feel excluded, dehumanized and realize that the place they thought they occupied does not actually exist. To tackle this existential issue and to make sense of a hostile and brutal world, Emilie Nicolas speaks with sociologist Philippe Néméh-Nombré. The professor from Saint Paul University in Ottawa has authored a new book, ‘Improvise the rest. Black studies, poetic risks, decolonial relationality”, in which he explores the role of Black studies, of resourcefulness and inventiveness in reinventing oneself. Together, Emilie and Philippe explore the way in which Black studies enable us to criticize and understand the world and its power relations.

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.

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 !

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.
