    Mark Carney Wants You to Send Cash for his Home Reno

    Stories about The Prime Minister’s residence at 24 Sussex just won’t die. Lumber barons, dead brides, Trudeau’s secret pool, nacho machines, you name it. But now, the Prime Minister’s crumbling, rat-infested, maybe haunted official residence is getting a re-vamp.  Carney just launched a fifty-million-dollar national campaign to actually fix the place. What is he planning? And what does it say about Canadians that we’d rather crowdfund a roof than just pay for one? Host: Sam Konnert Credits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Host/Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork) Background reading: More than 2,000 Canadians have donated toward restoration of 24 Sussex Drive - CBC NewsScrap 24 Sussex Drive.

    A Palestinian Activist on What's Wrong With the Pro-Palestine Movement

    Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib is a Palestinian-American writer who grew up in Gaza City. When he was eleven years-old he survived an Israeli airstrike that killed two of his friends and left him with permanent hearing loss in one ear. He travelled to the United States as a teenage exchange student in 2005 and later received political asylum after Hamas took over in Gaza. He now leads Realign for Palestine, a project advocating for what he calls, "a radically pragmatic approach to peace.” Today he talks to Canadaland about Hamas, Israel, the international response to the war in Gaza, and how his views on war and possible peace have turned him into a target from almost every direction. Host: Archie Matlow Credits: Caleb Thompson (Mixing & Mastering), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher) Additional music by Audio Network Fact checking by Julian Abraham More information: Realign For Palestine Atlantic Council Hamas and It’s Two Million Hostages - Jewish Quarterly Hamas’s Western Apologists Have Become Hamas Enthusiasts.

    Minority vs Minority Racism is Exploding

    San Grewal and Rahim Mohamed discuss Robyn Urback's opinion piece in the Globe and Mail, titled, “Like a bad ex, Donald Trump is accidentally making Canada become its best self”. Indeed, national pride seems to be at an all-time high, but is it warranted? After all, hate crimes are on the rise, two Jewish bakeries were vandalized last weekend, and a group of white supremacists just threw a "family-friendly festival” called Bigotfest in North Bay.  Host: San Grewal  Credits: Andrea Varsany (Producer), Kallan Lyons (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor) Guest: Rahim Mohamed Further reading:  Like a bad ex, Donald Trump is accidentally making Canada become its best self - The Globe and MailHuman rights group warns of 'Bigotfest' event in North Bay2025 Hate Crime Report shows drop in reported incidents last year, as the Service addressed Prevention, Reporting, and OutreachFour extremist plots to attack Jewish targets disrupted in Canada, report says | Globalnews.caToronto police investigate after Jewish-owned bakery chain hit by gunfire and vandalism - CNNWhite Nationalism in Canada: Organized, Emboldened, and Growing - Canadian Anti-Hate NetworkWhat's Fuelling White Nationalism in Canada? | The RundownCanadian military members identified on white supremacist dating site | CBC.caCanadian, U.S. fascist fight clubs joining forces south of the border, CBC investigation finds   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.

    Mexico is Giving Trump What he Wants. Is it Working?

    Canada's relationship with Donald Trump feels like it's one big, messy, public fight. Meanwhile, Mexico seems... strangely calm. Has President Claudia Sheinbaum figured out how to deal with Trump in a way we haven’t? Host Noor Azrieh talks to journalist David Agren, who has covered Mexico for more than two decades, about Trump's latest tariff threats, the CUSMA negotiations, and whether there's actually something Canada can learn from Mexico, or whether the story is a lot more complicated than we think.

    Fastened to a Dying Animal: How to Survive the Collapse of the U.S. Empire

    Is the American empire officially in its "dying animal" era? Author and cultural critic Stephen Marche certainly thinks so and for the first time in his career, he’s feeling downright optimistic. In Stephen's view, the collapse of U.S. global dominance isn't a tragedy for Canada; it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to ditch our toxic relationship with American markets, invest in our own sovereignty, and reinvent ourselves on the world stage.  Host Jesse Brown isn't quite ready to pop the champagne. Armed with a weak Canadian dollar, decaying public infrastructure, and the words of Leonard Cohen, Jesse steps into the ring to challenge Stephen’s sunny outlook. Will global chaos force Canada to finally thrive on its own, or are we forever tethered to a dying beast?

    After threatening to tariff Canada in response to wildfire smoke crossing the border, Trump announces 50% tariffs on a long list of products, ostensibly in response to Canada’s "discriminatory" trade practices.
