    The Senator Fighting Bill C-11

    The Senator Fighting Bill C-11

    Last month, the Senate proposed twenty six amendments to Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, and the Heritage Minister rejected eight. One of those rejected amendments was proposed by Senators Paula Simons and Julie Miville-Dechêne. Its rejection may have a huge impact on many digital-first creators. Jesse sits down with Senator Simons to talk about the bill, this amendment in particular, and what the Senate can do in situations like this.

    (canadaLANDBACK) They Did Not Break Us

    (canadaLANDBACK) They Did Not Break Us

    canadaLANDBACK is a co-production by Canada’s National Observer and Canadaland.
    Landback is not just about returning real estate.
    It is about Indigenous people reclaiming who we are and making ourselves whole again.
    An elder once told me that he believed residential schools were designed to hurt women, because "They knew that when you break the hearts of our women, you break the strength of our nations."
    That story and other teachings tell us that women are central and even sacred to our communities. This episode looks at how women are reclaiming their role as mothers, teachers, leaders, and sacred beings, despite everything colonialism has thrown at them. 
    This is not a story of hope, so much as it is a story of resilience and courage. 
    In this episode of landback we interview three women, whose stories intersect; Terri Brown, a former chief of the Tahltan First Nation in British Columbia, and former president of the Native Women’s Association (NWAC); Dr. Beverly Jacobs, Mohawk, Six Nations, is the Senior Advisor to the President on Indigenous Relations and Outreach at the University of Windsor and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law, who is also a former President of NWAC; Tori Cress Ojibway and Pottawattami, G’Chimnissing is a land and water defender.

    Please be warned this episode contains stories of violence, sexual assault and mentions the name and decribes some actions of a serial killer in B.C.

    (Détours) Bon Cop, Bad Cop : Paul Wells sur le convoi de la liberté

    À l'automne dernier, le journaliste politique Paul Wells a assisté à l'enquête publique sur l'utilisation de la loi sur les mesures d'urgence lors du convoi de la liberté de 2022. Avec comme point de référence un chapitre du prochain livre de Paul sur le sujet, Paul et Emilie discutent de la réaction policière aux manifestations, et plus précisément du rôle des équipes de liaison. Puis quel serait l’impact du projet de loi C-18 sur les nouvelles en ligne sur le journalisme canadien ?
    Last fall, political journalist Paul Wells attended the public inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 Freedom Convoy. With a chapter from Paul's upcoming book on the subject as a reference point, Paul and Emilie discuss the police response to the protests, specifically the role of police liaison teams. And what impact would online news legislation Bill C-18 really have on Canadian journalism?

Jesse is able to debate with those on the other side

Listening to the episode on gun control and he is doing a great job of challlenging the lawyer who is obviously a Conservative and ascribes lots of Ill intention to the Liberals ( of course the Conservatives never play politics; haha). He is able to hold his ground and put forth arguments that many Canadians support.

Biased

Lol this podcast is so biased. Is this the audio version of Druthers?

Jesse is What Makes Canadaland Great

Jesse has the ability to see beyond his biais and ask hard questions even when they don’t fit the traditional left leaning narratives. He has strong convictions on journalistic practice and holds that standard to everyone- politicians, his guests, and other journalists.

I do wish that he had the time to hire a few more folks willing to ask the tough questions like he does. Most of his his staff seem to have the typical left leaning view points and don’t challenge themselves to see a new perspective or see the nuances in new events. Even is he hired a centre right-leaning journalist it could help balance it out.

Still the best place to understand Canadian and it’s media. You won’t get this quality of Canadian journalism anywhere else.
