La guerre au Moyen Orient impacte les Canadiens d’origine arabe de diverses manières. Pour Rim Mohsen, québécoise d’origine libanaise, l’un des changements les plus personnels a été celui de réévaluer et repenser son identité et ses interactions avec les autres. Au micro d’Emilie Nicolas, elle se confie sur la difficulté de naviguer entre deux mondes qu’elle gardait jusque là séparés. La consultante et spécialiste en mobilisation sociale discute aussi de ce que signifie l’espoir alors que le monde brûle. L’espoir, dit-elle, passe par le collectif. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie et Rim se tournent vers la jeunesse pour faire sens de sa détresse et, peut-être, y apporter des solutions.
The war in the Middle East impacts Canadians of Arab origin in various ways. For Rim Mohsen, a Quebecer of Lebanese origin, one of the most personal changes was that of reassessing and rethinking her identity and her interactions with others. She confides in Emilie Nicolas about navigating between two worlds that she had until then kept separate. The consultant and social mobilization specialist also discusses what hope means as the world burns. Hope, she says, comes through the collective. In the second part of the show, Emilie and Rim turn to young people to make sense of their distress and, perhaps, provide solutions.

Abandoning legacy titles to pursue self-puslishing freedom at the occasionally controversial app. Substack has incubated Bari Weiss's Free Press and Andrew Sullivan’s The Weekly Dish. Here in Canada, a lot of names that Canadaland listeners may be familiar with are thriving on Substack: Terry Glavin, Sam Cooper, Justin Ling, Jen Gerson and Paul Wells to name a few..Valued at 650 million dollars and lauded as a threat to Twitter. It is a rare sign of hope and innovation and a working revenue model in a very desolate media landscape. And all of that has come with the usual share of controversies.Top of that list was their “Nazi problem.” They garnered headlines and debates about freedom of expression when it was revealed that there were, yes, Nazi Substacks charging money. And the parent company, apparently taking their cut of those profits. Today Substack founder Chris Best joins Jesse Brown to debate Substack’s controversies and discuss its possibilities with leading Canadian Substackers, Jen Gerson of The Line and Paul Wells.
