    (Détours) L’immigrant imaginaire

    (Détours) L’immigrant imaginaire

    Si l’on en croit les médias et les discours des politiques, les immigrants seraient responsables de toutes les difficultés culturelles et économiques que connaissent le Canada et le Québec à l’heure actuelle. Pour décrypter ces discours nauséabonds, Emilie reçoit Mireille Paquet, professeure au département de politique de l’Université Concordia et spécialiste des politiques migratoires. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, elles reviennent sur les campements pro palestiniens installés sur les campus canadiens, témoins de tensions entre la haute administration universitaire et la communauté étudiante et professorale.
    According to politicians and some media, immigrants would be responsible for all the cultural and economic troubles Canada and the province of Quebec are facing. To break down and analyze these xenophobic discourses, Emilie talks with Mireille Paquet, a Concordia professor of political science, who specializes in migratory policy. In the second part of the show, they look at the pro-Palestinian encampments on university campuses, which bear witness to tensions between university administrators and the student-professor community.

    (Short Cuts) Drake is a Journalist

    (Short Cuts) Drake is a Journalist

    The Drake/Kendrick rap beef has overtaken the internet. A flurry of diss tracks has captured the attention of millions, but now a shooting outside of Drake’s Toronto mansion reveals the violent potential of this rhetorical battle. Jan Wong reports from the Drake’s Mansion and Jesse offers his analysis of the journalistic underpinnings of the modern rap beef.
    Plus, there was foreign interference after all, but was it everything the media reported? What Justice Hogue’s initial report tells us (and doesn’t tell us) about the state of Canadian democracy.

    Voice Of The Common Man

    Voice Of The Common Man

    Open Line on VOCM-AM in Newfoundland has been called an institution. A religion. A must-listen show. 
    And we at Canadaland had never heard of it - until recently. But it attracts an audience bigger than any show in its time slot, and has consistently for years. 
    So in the age of podcasts and social media, in a time of layoffs and media cuts, how has this AM radio talk show managed to thrive?

    (Short Cuts) No Cop Crackdowns on Campus

    Campus protests have migrated to Canada and McGill is asking the cops for help. Why calling in the cops is the wrong approach, despite what’s being said (and chanted) at these protests.

    In the Shadow of the Shadow War

    In the Shadow of the Shadow War

    Canadian media coverage of the war in the Middle East has, unsurprisingly, focused on the impact on diaspora communities here in Canada. We have heard about Jewish Canadians, Palestinian Canadians, and we have heard in general terms about the many Muslim communities across Canada and how this is affecting them. But there's one diaspora community that is increasingly at the center of this conflict, who we have heard very little about. And that is the Iranian community.
    Today on the show, three members of the Iranian-Canadian community, Amir Attaran, Samira Mohyeddin, and Kahve Shahrooz, join Jesse to talk about their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences about what is going on in their community.
    Editor’s note: In the introduction to this episode, Jesse says, “Canada is home to the second largest Iranian diaspora community in the world. There are 400,000.” 
    According to Tehran, Canada is home to 400,000 Iranian-Canadians but Statistics Canada puts the number at closer to 200,000. In either case, Canada is still home to one of the largest Iranian diaspora communities in the world.

    (Détours) Solutions climatiques, solutions journalistiques

    Alors que l’année 2024 sera la plus chaude jamais enregistrée, on voit le public, épuisé par l'éco anxiété et une certaine fatigue informationnelle, se détourner des médias. Emilie Nicolas reçoit Étienne Leblanc, journaliste environnement et climat à Radio-Canada, pour échanger sur l’évolution de la couverture médiatique des changements climatiques depuis une vingtaine d’années et sur les solutions possibles afin de mieux communiquer sur le sujet. 
    Even if 2024 is projected to be the warmest year ever recorded, audiences are tuning out the news, exhausted by eco-anxiety and media fatigue. Emilie Nicolas talks with Étienne Leblanc, environment and climate reporter at the CBC, about the past twenty years of climate change coverage and how to find solutions to better communicate on the topic.

Well worth the time

I much appreciate this frank, honest and often ribald look at Canadian media—something rare in the wider mediascape. Fresh takes on unexpected topics. A gem in the podcast world.

Unsubscribed

After being a loyal listener for years I have unsubscribed from Canadaland. Jesse Brown’s blatant bias and disingenuous coverage of the genocide in Gaza has revealed his true colours.

UnfollowedRI ,

Unsubscribed after years of listening

I can’t follow shortcuts anymore. After years of following the show I am unsubscribing. While I’ve often disagreed with Jesse on issues, I’ve generally been able to follow the thread. However, Jesse’s inability to cover the war in Gaza with impartiality coupled with an unwillingness to leave the issue alone, even in the face of other domestic issues, has led me to this decision. It is a real shame.
