    The Allison Inquiry: Time to Take Vaccine Injuries Seriously

    He was the doctor who almost got Joe Rogan cancelled. The controversy he roiled on Rogan brought the show some its highest ever ratings. So you might have been among the 40 million who caught Dr. Peter McCullough on Rogan where he spoke out against the COVID vaccine near the start of the pandemic. He was accused of undermining public health efforts and spreading misinformation. And last week Dr. McCullough was on Parliament Hill. But chances are you didn’t hear about that appearance. Most of the mainstream media, and nearly all the nation’s MPs, took a pass on attending the Allison Inquiry into injuries sustained by Canadians from the vaccine. Dr. McCullough joins us today. But he’s not here to debate his opinion on the science of vaccines.  Instead we wanted to discuss his experience at the centre of the Rogan controversy. We wanted to ask him whether people should be getting medical advice from shows like Rogan’s. We wanted to know what he thought about the splintering of public faith in mainstream institutions, a splintering that the pandemic sped up. We wanted to know where he thinks all this division has left us. At least, that’s what we set out to do….

    Canada's Warped Memory of 9/11

    There was no shortage of retrospective 9/11 coverage in Canadian outlets, but the tone and focus was a lot different than south of the border. Jean Chretien’s address in Gander foregrounded how much has changed in the Canada/US relationship, while a Canadian Press article focusing on Islamophobia caused outrage online. Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to talk about journalistic approaches to covering historical tragedies, and to reflect on 9/11’s impact.  Plus, Mao’s unspoken legacy in China and why no one wants to report on vaccine injuries.

    Did Saudi Arabia spend billions on EA Games to get Canadians' Data?

    It is the biggest leveraged buyout in history.  Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) just bought EA Games: one of the world’s biggest video game companies.  PIF joined forces with two American investment firms (one run by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner) to buy the gaming giant for $55 billion. But this could be about a lot more than just video games.  EA has more than 700 million players worldwide, and it’s collecting vast amounts of data on them.  What are the national security and privacy implications of a foreign sovereign wealth fund controlling a company with all that data?  And given EA has a Canadian subsidiary with Canadian employees and, of course, Canadian players — how has the Canadian government scrutinized this deal?

    Canada’s Right-Wing Meme War

    A trend of “Blame Canada” memes is causing a schism amongst conservatives.  Far-right conservative influencers are gleefully amplifying MAGA-style messaging around Carney and Canada, while more moderate conservative voices are calling them “traitorous.”  Under Pierre Poilievre, the CPC embraced right-wing influencers, offering them “content creator” passes and access to events, but now they’re trying to distance themselves. Is the turf war between establishment conservatives and edgy memelords overblown?  Harrison Lowman of the Hub joins Julian Abraham to explore the AI slop that is dividing conservatives in Canada.  Host: Julian Abraham Credits: James Nicholson (Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), Jesse Brown (Editor) Guest: Harrison Lowman Photo: Donald Trump Truth Social Post (likely generated by A.I.)

    How the CBC Screwed Up the Trade War

    As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, the CBC’s longstanding policy towards reporting on acts of terrorism suddenly became an international story. A leaked internal CBC memo that instructed journalists not to refer to 9/11 as a terrorist attack without attribution sparked backlash on both sides of the border.  In the context of the trade war, CBC’s journalistic policy became a flashpoint for Republicans, with US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra suggesting it further jeopardized trade relations between Canada and the US.  Jen Gerson of The Line joins Julian Abraham to explain how the CBC escalated trade war tensions (even if it didn’t intend to) and what happens next now that the CBC changed its policy towards 9/11.  Host: Julian Abraham Credits: James Nicholson (Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), Jesse Brown (Editor) Guest: Jen Gerson Photo: Ken Lund Further reading:  9/11 wasn't a 'terrorist attack,' according to the CBC | Toronto Sun How and why CBC News will adjust its 9/11 language guidance - CBCHow CBC News uses the words 'terrorist,' 'terrorism' - CBCCBC changed its terrorism policy for 9/11—but still not for Hamas - Canadian Jewish NewsThe CBC’s 9/11 terrorism scandal revealed the public broadcaster is operating in a separate reality than the public - The Hub Opinion: CBC's refusal to distinguish between terrorism and war shows it can't think critically - National PostAvi Benlolo: CBC's editorial choices around Islamic terror need to be investigated - National PostSome voters alarmed by self-declaration requirement on mail-in ballots for Alberta referendum | CBC NewsN.S. energy minister resigns after backlash over misogynistic rap lyrics - Halifax | Globalnews.ca    Sponsors:   oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!  Squarespace: Check out Squarespace.com/canadaland for a free trial, and when you’re ready to launch use code canadaland to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.
