  • AprĂšs des rĂ©sultats record aux Ă©lections europĂ©ennes, l’extrĂȘme droite française est en passe de remporter les lĂ©gislatives. Si certains sont surpris, plusieurs observateurs ont remarquĂ© que les idĂ©es d’extrĂȘme droite sont omniprĂ©sentes dans les mĂ©dias depuis des annĂ©es maintenant, notamment sur la chaĂźne tĂ©lĂ©visĂ©e CNews. Comment se dĂ©roule ce processus de banalisation? Quelles stratĂ©gies sont employĂ©es par les journalistes et les Ă©ditorialistes de CNews pour encourager la montĂ©e de l’extrĂȘme droite? Le journaliste de MĂ©diapart Yunnes Abzouz en parle avec Emilie et dĂ©monte, brique par brique, la mĂ©thode CNews. Dans la deuxiĂšme partie de l’émission, on se tourne vers l’éditorialiste quĂ©bĂ©cois prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© des mĂ©dias français, et en particulier de CNews: Mathieu Bock-CĂŽtĂ©. Yunnes explique comment le chroniqueur, auteur et sociologue emploie les mĂȘmes stratagĂšmes que CNews, levant le voile sur les ressorts discursifs de la dĂ©sormais cĂ©lĂšbre “mĂ©thode MBC”.


    After record results in the European elections, the French far right is on the verge of winning the legislative elections. While some are surprised, several observers have noticed that far-right ideas have been omnipresent in the media for years now, notably on the television channel CNews. How does this process of trivialization take place? What strategies are used by CNews journalists and editorialists to encourage the rise of the far right? MĂ©diapart journalist Yunnes Abzouz talks about it with Emilie and dismantles, brick by brick, the CNews method. In the second part of the show, we turn to the favourite Quebec columnist of the French media, and in particular of CNews: Mathieu Bock-CĂŽtĂ©. Yunnes explains how the columnist, author and sociologist uses the same stratagems as CNews, lifting the veil on the discourse of the now famous “MBC method’.

  • Can a newspaper commit treason? The NSICOP report singles out China as the biggest foreign influence on Canadian media (and it’s more than just advertorial inserts.) Joanna Chiu joins us to unpack the scale and scope of foreign propaganda campaigns in Canada.


    Is the daily coverage of campus protest encampments a form of bias, and what sorts of stories are getting missed as a result? Jesse responds to some tough questions about bias in the coverage of the war in Gaza.


    Clarification (June 21, 2024, 12:20pm ET): an unclear statement in an earlier version of this episode could be interpreted to mean that Shree Paradkar spread messages advocating for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Israel, which she did not. This statement should have been that Shree Paradkar spread messages from someone (Amanda Gelender) who has advocated for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Israel.

  • When Canadaland commissioned its new series “A Field Guide to Gay Animals” (listen to it here), the topic wasn’t really in the news. But since then, it’s started to take the world by storm. From rage on the extreme right, a documentary series on Peacock, to the first photos of humpback whale sex being male-male.


    And the relevance is more important than ever, legislation across Canada and the United States regularly denies queer rights, sometimes based on old-school notions that sex is about reproduction and the animal kingdom proves it. Except it doesn’t
 25 years ago, one Canadian scientist wrote a book that detailed the history and science of gay animals: Biological Exuberance.


    Today, podcast hosts Owen Ever and Laine Kaplan Levenson join Jesse to talk about the wonderful world of gay animals.

  • With Jesse away, Justin Ling takes over to talk about Google’s $100 million payment for Canadian news and how a ragtag group of independent publishers will end up deciding who gets the money. Is Google trolling us? 


    Plus, Canada has entered its foreign interference era, but are we too polite to name names? Paul McLeod helps unpack new allegations of treason in Ottawa, and what we should do about it.

  • Less than a year ago, Investigative Reporter and former Network Anchor Molly Thomas had her dream job as a Correspondent for CTV’s flagship show, W5; with the backing of this team, she applied for the most prestigious fellowship in Canadian journalism, the Michener-Deacon Award.


    Molly won the Michener-Deacon fellowship for her special project on education in Afghanistan, the only country in the world where women and girls can't go to school. 


    Then, as part of a series of nation-wide cuts from Bellmedia (who owns CTV), Molly was laid off and the story was shelved.


    That’s where Canadaland stepped in.                


    We’ve teamed up with Molly and the Michener-Deacon Fellowship to produce Dear Taliban, a new 3-part investigation that begins today.

    Dear Taliban spans three continents, taking listeners to the vice-regal pomp and ceremony of Rideau Hall, to one of the toughest hostile training programs in the world - all to prepare her for a complex and volatile area of South Asia.

  • En politique municipale, provinciale et fĂ©dĂ©rale, les dĂ©parts de femmes s’enchaĂźnent. En cause, l’intimidation dont elles sont victimes, la remise en question de leurs compĂ©tences, ou encore leur relĂ©gation Ă  des rĂŽles de moindre importance. Emilie reçoit l’autrice, essayiste et activiste Alexa Conradi pour mieux comprendre les racines du problĂšme et les obstacles qui se dressent devant les femmes politiques. Dans la deuxiĂšme partie de l’émission, Alexa Conradi explique ce que signifierait faire de la politique en fĂ©ministe, et comment intĂ©grer pleinement les valeurs de ce mouvement dans notre paysage politique actuel.

In the second part of the show, Alexa Conradi explains what it would mean to do politics in a feminist fashion, and how to fully integrate the values ​​of this movement into our current political landscape.

  • Trump’s 34 felony convictions made history in the U.S., but will his efforts to undermine the Rule of Law have an effect on Canadian attitudes towards the legal system?

  • This story started out like every other Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women case. But something happened that would change the trajectory of the case, the people, and even political leaders in Manitoba. 


    Karyn Pugliese sits down with Kathleen Martens of APTN to discuss the trial of Jeremy Skibicki, who has admitted to killing four women: Rebecca Contois, Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran, and an unidentified woman referred to as “Buffalo Woman”. These are the women whose bodies are presumed to be in Winnipeg landfills and for the past year, people have been calling on the government to search for them, and bring peace to the victim’s families.


    Kathleen Martens has been in the courtroom for every day of this trial. In today's show she breaks it all down and provides insight into what it all means and where it might be going.


    Content warning: there will be discussion of the murders of Indigenous women in this episode, and may not be suitable for all listeners. Take care when listening.

  • There’s a small, sandy island off the coast of Nova Scotia where hundreds of horses run wild. They’ve been there since the 18th century, and are genetically unlike any other horse in the world. While these horses are beloved, an official animal of Nova Scotia, there have been voices over the years saying they’re an invasive species that needs to be removed, as much for the sake of the island as for themselves. So what does the future look like for the Sable Island horse?


    Phillip McLoughlin, ecologist at the University of Saskatchewan who runs the Sable Island Horse Project, joins us.

  • Hot Docs, Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Just for Laughs, just the latest cultural institutions to join a long list of Canadian arts groups facing existential threats. Why is this all happening now?


    Based on recent headlines, you might think that we are in the midst of a total cultural collapse in this country. Film festivals, comedy festivals, symphonies, cinemas, theater companies, arts magazines all closing down or telling us that they're about to. Corporate sponsors are pulling out. Leadership teams are crumbling. People are quitting en masse or getting laid off. There's been a lot of dirty laundry aired in public from within these organizations, open letters and accusations about mismanagement and workplace inequity within these arts organizations. It all sounds miserably dire. So just what is going on and why is it all happening now?

  • Traumavertissement: Le segment ‘Bien Noté’ entre 22:30 et 27:00 aborde les violences subies par les enfants autochtones dans les pensionnats.


    Fin avril, le premier ministre du QuĂ©bec François Legault annonçait le contenu de son MusĂ©e national de l’histoire du QuĂ©bec: des collections retraçant les 400 derniĂšres annĂ©es d’histoire, de Jacques Cartier Ă  nos jours. Dans son discours, Legault rĂ©servait une place aux PremiĂšres Nations qui Ă©taient lĂ  “avant nous” et ont “aidĂ©â€ les colons Ă  surmonter les Ă©preuves. Pour dĂ©crypter ces discours empreints de colonialisme, Emilie reçoit l’activiste, animatrice et chroniqueuse Innue Melissa Mollen Dupuis. Ensemble, elles rĂ©flĂ©chissent Ă  tisser une nouvelle histoire du QuĂ©bec, dĂ©coloniale et inclusive. En deuxiĂšme partie d’émission, Melissa Mollen Dupuis offre un Ă©clairage passionnant sur le phĂ©nomĂšne des fraudes d’identitĂ© autochtone, les “pretendians” ou en français “fautochtones”.


    Trigger Warning: The ‘Bien Noté’ segment between 22:30 et 27:00 discusses the abuse inflicted on Indigenous children at residential schools.

    At the end of April, Quebec Premier François Legault announced the subject matter of his National Museum of Quebec History: collections tracing the last 400 years of history, from Jacques Cartrier to the present day. In his speech, Legault reserved a place for the First Nations who were there “before us” and “helped” the settlers to overcome challenges. To decipher this discourse, marked by colonialism, Emilie is joined by Innu activist, host and columnist Melissa Mollen Dupuis. Together, they reflect on weaving a new history of Quebec that is both decolonized and inclusive. In the second part of the show, Melissa offers fascinating insight into the phenomenon of Indigenous identity fraud, the “pretendians” or in French the “fautochtones”.

  • Today we’re bringing you something a bit different. It’s a podcast produced by a wonderful team in the UK called Tortoise. Reporter Alexi Mostrous will tell you all about how a Canadian private intelligence practitioner and investigator, set him off on a quest to find out who trolled Amber Heard.

Amber Heard lost and Johnny Depp was vindicated. But what if Amber was actually the victim of an organised trolling campaign? What if the online hate against her was manufactured?


    Alexi investigates what happened to Amber and who might have been responsible. It’s a story about how our own thoughts and opinions can be molded without us even realising.


    All six episodes of Who Trolled Amber are now available to binge-listen here.

  • The pretendian phenomenon has been known and discussed in indigenous circles for years, but it's become mainstream Canadian news lately thanks to three big name exposĂ©s: Buffy sainte Marie, Joseph Boyden, and Michelle Latimer. These people were arguably the most famous indigenous songwriter in Canada, the most famous indigenous novelist in Canada and the most famous indigenous filmmaker in Canada. And all three were revealed to not actually be indigenous or at a minimum, all three misrepresented their ancestries and their community connections.


    But they are just the tip of the iceberg. The real issue with pretendians, according to a growing chorus of Indigenous leaders, is that Indigenous identity theft is vast and it poses an existential threat to First Nations. 


    In the United States, the number of people who identified themselves as native has grown from 552,000 back in 1960 to 9.7 million in 2020. That is a growth rate almost ten times as high as overall population growth in America. And most of it did not happen because new native people were born. It happened because millions of people shifted their identities. Here in Canada, we have 1.8 million people identifying as Indigenous today, up from just under half a million in 1980. That is almost a 400% increase. And again, most of it is not because indigenous people are having so many kids. Most of it is happening because so many Canadians are deciding that they're Indigenous. So what happens when people with newly claimed and highly contested Indigenous identities outnumber the Indigenous people that precede them?

  • Si l’on en croit les mĂ©dias et les discours des politiques, les immigrants seraient responsables de toutes les difficultĂ©s culturelles et Ă©conomiques que connaissent le Canada et le QuĂ©bec Ă  l’heure actuelle. Pour dĂ©crypter ces discours nausĂ©abonds, Emilie reçoit Mireille Paquet, professeure au dĂ©partement de politique de l’UniversitĂ© Concordia et spĂ©cialiste des politiques migratoires. Dans la deuxiĂšme partie de l’émission, elles reviennent sur les campements pro palestiniens installĂ©s sur les campus canadiens, tĂ©moins de tensions entre la haute administration universitaire et la communautĂ© Ă©tudiante 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.

  • 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.
