    Teenage Gunmen? There's an App for That (also, that Kielburger stuff)

    A gun-for-hire network is revealed after a Toronto Police Officer is killed in a raid investigating a shooting at the US consulate. The network is potentially linked to a slew of shootings across the GTA, including synagogues.  Meanwhile, a US Dept of Justice indictment suggests some of these shootings may have been contracted by Iranian proxies.  Plus, an update on Canadaland’s settlement with Theresa Kielburger.   Host: Jesse Brown Credits: James Nicholson (Producer), Kallan Lyons (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), imogen sayers (Mixing and Mastering), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor) Guest: Jan Wong Apply to CANADALAND’s Audio Journalism Fellowship at labs.canadaland.com Go to canadaland.com/live  to find out more about our live show, June 18th at the Halifax Convention Centre!

    Shouty Carney Gets Sh*t Done

    Mark Carney’s Liberals are trying to push a whole stack of bills across the finish line–and it’s no small stack. Bail reform, hate crimes, gender-based violence, housing, election financing, digital safety, lawful access, and privacy. Is this what an efficient Parliament looks like? Or is this what it looks like when a very determined Carney turns urgency into pressure, and pressure starts to feel a lot like being yelled at? Host Noor Azrieh asks POLITICO’s Nick Taylor-Vaisey and Mickey Djuric. Host: Noor Azrieh Credits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Host/Producer), Annie Tuba (Producer) Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), imogen sayers (Mixing and Mastering), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork) Guests: Nick Taylor-Vaisey, Mickey Djuric Background reading: 'He yells': Mark Carney's focus has Liberal MPs bristling – Toronto StarWith just over a week left on the legislative clock, here’s the current state of play in the House of Commons – iPoliticsOttawa moves to ban kids under 16 from social media – CTV News‘We know how to work together’: U.S. Ambassador Hoekstra on partnership with Canada amid CUSMA talks – CTV News Sponsors:  Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

    Kick to the Balls: MAGA’s World Cup

    The World Cup finally came to Canada. But has MAGA turned the Beautiful Game into something ugly? According to the BBC fans from about a quarter of the countries taking part in this World Cup are facing travel bans, tighter restrictions, or high visa rejection rates. What about supporters who are already in the U.S. who might fall under the gaze of ICE agents? If you were a Senegalese, Haitian, or Ecuadoran-American, would you wrap yourself in your team’s colours and take to the streets knowing ICE is playing their own game? And where in all this is Canada? Our co-host has threatened to invade, launched tariff battles and Trump keeps thumping his 51st state schtick. Where does Canada belong in a MAGA world cup? Karim Zidan is an investigative journalist covering the intersection of sports and politics. His work has been featured in outlets such as The New York Times and The Guardian, and he runs his own media platform called Sports Politika, He joins us today to kick off the World Cup. And no, Karim Zidan is no relation to the other Zidane…. Clarification: A previous version of this podcast had an omission. The podcast stated that Somali referee Omar Artan was denied entrance to the U.S. for the World Cup because of his nationality. The updated version of this episode now includes the information that the U.S. government claims Artan was denied entry to the United States because of his “association with suspected members of terror organisations.” Artan denies the accusation.

    Poilievre Trolls Carney With Help From A.I.

    So it looks like technically Canada is in the midst of a “technical” recession, but, technicalities aside, is a 0.2% drop in growth really that big a deal? ​Carney hasn’t said much on the subject, just that this is just a “settling-in period” while his policies take effect. On the other hand, Poilievre seems almost gleeful, saying that it’s a result of a “banker who can’t budget”. Oh, and he’s made a whole attack ad dunking on the technicalities of a technical recession with a little help from generative AI. Is this what politics has come to?

  5. Did Carney Invest in A.I. Right Before it Crashes?

    Did Carney Invest in A.I. Right Before it Crashes?

    Carney just released his new 55-page strategy, “AI for All,” to much fanfare, over $2B in funding commitments, and…very few details on how he’s going to accomplish any of it. Canadians were at the forefront of AI’s creation, yet we’re already falling behind in harnessing this revolutionary technology. But most of us aren’t convinced that AI is safe: not for the environment, or the kids, or our personal privacy. Plus, it seems like no one’s figured out how to actually make a return on their investment. ​ So, is Canada investing in a product that’s doomed to fail? Correction: Canada’s AI Strategy contains the word “must” 22 times, not 25 times, as is suggested by host James Nicholson.

    Ottawa’s Killer Robot Problem

    Host Sam spent a day at Canada's biggest defence trade show asking about autonomous weapons. The good news: Canada says humans must always be part of the decision to kill. The bad news: nobody can define what that means, the US just voted against a UN resolution banning killer robots, and Pete Hegseth wants the Pentagon to be an "AI-first warfighting force." Sam talks to an AI researcher, an underwater robot CEO, a defence contractor who tells it like it is, and an ethicist who somehow remains hopeful.  Have a tip? sam@canadaland.com Host: Noor Azrieh Credits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Host/Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork) Guests: Jason Millar, Randy Goebel Background reading: For Canada, the march of the killer robots is getting hard to avoid | The LogicJudge temporarily blocks Pentagon's blacklist of AI company Anthropic | CBC NewsAt Canada’s biggest weapons show, the soldiers were the target | Globe and MailCanada’s largest arms expo drawing record turnout as Ottawa boosts defence spending Go to Canadaland.com/live to find out more about our live show, June 18th at the Halifax Convention Centre!  Sponsors:  Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

    A Cohere Founder on What A.I. Critics Get Wrong

    Last week, Mark Carney announced his big A.I. strategy. Two billion dollars to support creating jobs, providing free A.I. literacy training, and protection against some of the potential harms and risks around A.I., especially with kids. Oh, and he wants to build a world-leading supercomputer.  Canada's leading A.I. company is Cohere. Cohere isn't like OpenAI or xAI or Anthropic or any of those other well-known large language model companies. They're not public facing. They don't do image generation or music generation, or tell you what recipe you can make with the leftovers in your fridge. They develop private models for specific companies trained in part on that company's private data. RBC, Bell, Salesforce, just to name a few. Their current valuation sits at $7 billion.  Cohere's co-founder is a 33 year-old indie rockstar named Nick Frosst. He joins host Stephen Marche to discuss Canada's A.I. sector, his band, Star Trek, and those students booing A.I. at convocations.
