  2. UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, the Canadaland Interview

    2 DAYS AGO

    UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, the Canadaland Interview

    Last week, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese landed in Canada, setting off a firestorm of controversy that Canadian politics was not ready for. She’s been accused of antisemitism, refused meetings by government officials, and had her talks protested. She’s been calling the war in Gaza a genocide, but the big question isn’t what she has to say, but whether or not she was someone anyone should even be listening to. This week, we sit down with Albanese to discuss the genocide, the accusations against her, and the power of the UN. Host: Noor Azrieh Credits: Aviva Lessard (Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Production Manager) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork) Guests: Francesca Albanese Photo credit: AFP pic Background reading: UN rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories says she was ‘snubbed’ by Canadian government - Toronto StarCanada refuses to comment on US sale of Canadian-made weapons to Israel - Al JazeeraCalls mount for Canada to bar UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese over antisemitic remarks - National Post UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories holds news conference30 Jewish Organizations: We Support UN Human Rights Rapporteur Francesca Albanese  Sponsors:  Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

    The Copernic Affair: Chapter One

    Introducing our latest long-form investigative series. From Thunder Bay to The White Saviors to Cool Mules, Canadaland has a record of reporting and publishing complicated, difficult and nuanced stories that other media can’t or won’t. The Copernic Affair is no different. Acclaimed journalists Dana Ballout and Alex Atack have been working for years on our latest investigative series The Copernic Affair. It is a big, decades spanning investigation about how Hassan Diab, an unassuming sociology professor in Ottawa, ended up the prime suspect in a terrorism investigation that French authorities have been trying to solve since the 1980s. Is he a terrorist? Or a scapegoat? The Copernic Affair launches in late-January, but we are bringing you the first episode today. Canadaland supporters can listen to the first two episodes right now and the rest of it, each week.  Canadaland is offering early access to supporters. If you aren't a supporter yet, it's easy to become one. Just go to https://canadaland.com/join/  You’ll be enabling great journalism and ensuring it remains accessible and free for everybody.

    Is There a “Palestine Exception” in Newsrooms?

    An essay in the Toronto Star suggests there’s a rule in Canadian newsrooms that limits the coverage of Palestine.

    How Canadian Voters Could Sway the U.S. Election

    It’s the 60th US Presidential election, and the stakes feel like they’ve never been higher. This episode is a pulse check on what people are doing, thinking, and feeling on our side of that Windsor-Detroit border. Host Noor Azrieh also looks back on the 2016 election and her feeling of powerlessness, and addresses the stakes, impact, and consequences of this election. And, the latest on Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre’s proposed GST cut for home sales, Alberta’s bill of rights (again…), and Canada’s collective failure in upholding the legacy of Murray Sinclair. CORRECTIONS 11/05/2024:  This episode incorrectly identifies Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu as the President, we apologize for the error. On this episode, the goods and services tax (GST) is incorrectly referred to as the "general sales tax".

    This is How the Airlines Screwed Us During the Pandemic

    When COVID hit, the airlines were sitting with billions of dollars in cash that Canadians paid for flights that were all canceled. How much of that money was refunded? Why were vouchers offered instead? And why did the transport regulator that’s supposed to uphold the rules bend them to the advantage of Air Canada and other carriers?  Reporter Cherise Seucharan has obtained newly-unearthed communications from March 2020 that show airline industry execs,  credit card companies,  and the transportation ministry, cooperating - perhaps collaborating, to pressure Canada’s airline watchdog to bend the rules.  Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Cherise Seucharan (Reporter) Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor/ Mixer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher), Caleb Thompson (additional production assistance) Featured guests: Gabor Lukacs Additional music by Audio Network Further Reading on our Website AG1  Oxio: Canadaland listeners get their first month of internet free at https://canadaland.oxio.ca, use the promo code “Canadaland” PolicyMe: Head over to https://policyme.com and secure your Health and Dental coverage in just 5 minutes – no medical questions needed!  BetterHelp: Canadaland listeners head to https://betterhelp.com/canadaland to get started today and enjoy 10% off your first month.
