Testifying in Parliament last week, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown revealed how India affected his 2022 bid to lead the Conservative Party of Canada. But was he a victim of foreign interference, as reported by CBC/Radio-Canada, or a willing conduit for Indian interests? San Grewal of The Pointer joins to explain how (and why) CBC got spun. Note: Jaskaran Sandhu did not reply to our request for comment in advance of publishing this episode. UPDATE (12/11/24): after publication, Jaskaran Sandhu responded to Canadaland’s request for comment with the following: “I did not bring, place, plant, or spin this foreign interference story to the CBC. I wish I was that powerful. But it is kind of nice knowing those like San think I am.” Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Post Production), Lucie Laumonier (Fact Checking), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: San Grewal Further Reading on Our Website Sponsors: CAMH: CAMH is building better mental health care for everyone to ensure no one is left behind.

People on the left call her a police informant, a self-hating Palestinian, a racist, a Zionist, a TERF, and a fascist. But she also has haters on the right, labelling her a leftist, Antifa, and a World Economic Forum diva. She’s a lawyer by trade. But describes herself online as a journalist, a satirist, a media personality and a protest watcher. That last title is the one that brings the most trouble.Anti-vax protests, freedom convoy protests, anti-trans protests, Israel/Palestine protests, over the last few years she’s captured and posted an archive of protest footage few mainstream outlets have either the time or resources to rival. Along the way she’s managed to irk the entire political spectrum.She's been criticized by the Canadian Association of Journalists, the Canadian Anti Hate Network, and the Law Society of Ontario for allegedly harassing behaviour.But how? Why? Caryma Sa'd joins Jesse Brown to answer those questions.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Jesse Brown (Host), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor/ Post Production), max collins (Production Manager), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer)Photo Credit: Photo by Nick KozakFurther Reading Caryma Rules WebsiteCaryma Sa'd Makes No Apologies - Now TorontoNeighbours urge lawyer Caryma Sa’d to cancel anti-masker debate - Now TorontoCaryma Sa’d zooms in on what’s really going on inside Canada’s volatile protest scenes - National PostSponsors: oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!  Article: Article is offering our listeners $50 off your first purchase of $100 or more.

Le Collège québécois des médecins de famille s’est récemment doté d’une nouvelle présidente, la docteure Geneviève Bois. La carrière foisonnante de cette praticienne engagée touche à de nombreux enjeux qui résonnent profondément avec les défis que le système de santé public peine à relever: médecine à deux (voire trois) vitesses, déterminants sociaux de la santé, médecine en milieu éloigné, et santé reproductive des femmes. Emilie Nicolas reçoit donc la docteure Geneviève Bois, non pas en tant que présidente du Collège des médecins de famille, mais en tant que soignante. Depuis ses études de médecine jusqu’à sa pratique à Eeyou Istchee et dans des centres de santé des femmes au sud du Québec, la docteure Bois revient sur ses engagements et sa vision de la médecine, une science avant tout humaine. The Collège québécois des médecins de famille recently appointed a new president, Dr. Geneviève Bois. The prolific career of this committed practitioner touches on many issues that deeply resonate with challenges the public health system is struggling to meet: two- (or even three-)tier medicine, social determinants of health, medicine in remote areas, and women’s reproductive health. Emilie Nicolas talks health with Dr. Bois, not in her role as president of the Collège des médecins de famille, but as a physician. From her medical studies to her practice in Eeyou Istchee and in women’s health centres in southern Quebec, Dr. Bois reflects on her commitments and her vision of medicine, a science that is above all a human science.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), max collins (Coordination de production)Coanimation : Geneviève BoisMusique additionnelle par Audio NetworkPour en savoir plus :Geneviève Bois sur LinkedInCinq questions à la Dre Geneviève Bois - Collège des médecins du QuébecSi vous appréciez ce podcast, soutenez-nous !

Last Monday, U.S. president-elect Donald Trump posted to his beloved Truth Social with a hefty threat. If Canada and Mexico don't get the border in order, or the drugs in check, he’ll slap a 25 per cent tariff on all goods. These tariffs could crash several major U.S. industries and ruin Canada’s economy. But this isn’t the first time Trump’s threatened Canada. Host Noor Azrieh sits down with Vipal Monga to ask, did Canadian politicians learn anything from dealing with Trump the first time around, or are they stumbling into Trump 2.0 just as clueless?And, the latest on a BC lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributors and alleged interference in the Conservative leadership race that got Conservative Leader Pierre Polievre elected.Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Post Production), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Vipal MongaFurther Reading On Our WebsiteSponsors: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.
