  • 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.

  • Introducing our latest long-form investigative series. From Thunder Bay to The White Saviors to Cool Mules, Canadaland has a record of reporting and publishing complicated, difficult and nuanced stories that other media can’t or won’t. The Copernic Affair is no different.


    Acclaimed journalists Dana Ballout and Alex Atack have been working for years on our latest investigative series The Copernic Affair. It is a big, decades spanning investigation about how Hassan Diab, an unassuming sociology professor in Ottawa, ended up the prime suspect in a terrorism investigation that French authorities have been trying to solve since the 1980s.


    Is he a terrorist? Or a scapegoat?


    The Copernic Affair launches in late-January, but we are bringing you the first episode today.


    Canadaland supporters can listen to the first two episodes right now and the rest of it, each week. 


    Canadaland is offering early access to supporters. If you aren't a supporter yet, it's easy to become one. Just go to https://canadaland.com/join/

  • An essay in the Toronto Star suggests there’s a rule in Canadian newsrooms that limits the coverage of Palestine.

  • It’s the 60th US Presidential election, and the stakes feel like they’ve never been higher. This episode is a pulse check on what people are doing, thinking, and feeling on our side of that Windsor-Detroit border. Host Noor Azrieh also looks back on the 2016 election and her feeling of powerlessness, and addresses the stakes, impact, and consequences of this election.


    And, the latest on Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre’s proposed GST cut for home sales, Alberta’s bill of rights (again…), and Canada’s collective failure in upholding the legacy of Murray Sinclair.


    CORRECTIONS 11/05/2024: 

    This episode incorrectly identifies Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu as the President, we apologize for the error. On this episode, the goods and services tax (GST) is incorrectly referred to as the "general sales tax".

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    You can't really call Regina a news desert. They still have a newspaper. 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. And they may be providing news to more people in Regina than anyone else.
