CANADALAND

A deadly fire killed 4 soldiers at a military base in Alberta on Saturday, but as the news was breaking, information was hard to come by. Even days afterward, basic details remain unknown. The Canadian Military is promising to release the details of its investigation to the public, but how long will it take for Canadians to learn what happened at CFB Wainwright? Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to discuss the culture of secrecy and lack of disclosure in Canadian institutions, and why it makes it very difficult to be a journalist. Plus, former Progress Report journalist Duncan Kinney vandalizes a statue and then reports on it.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Julian Abraham (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), Harrison Lowman (Managing Editor), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Guest: Jan WongFurther reading: Everything confirmed so far about CFB Wainwright fire and how it unfolded - National | Globalnews.ca CFB Wainwright blaze that killed four, injured dozens began as grass fire - The Globe and MailFindings from fatal CFB Wainwright fire investigation will be made public, top commander says | CBC NewsSponsors:Fizz Mobile: Visit fizz.ca and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get 25 off and 10GB of free data.BetterHelp: Visit BetterHelp.com/canadaland today to get 10% off your first month.Download Mauril : Download on iOS | Download on Android | mauril.ca This collaboration is part of an advertising campaign managed by the agency Podpass for Mauril, developed by CBC/Radio-CanadaIt’s our annual crowdfunding month!

Mark Carney is a serious politician in an age of deeply unserious politics. He’s become more than the guy running Canada’s government…he’s become the world's poster boy for the anti-Trump resistance. But the more host Noor Azrieh talks to Canadians, the more it feels like Canada handed Carney the keys and decided we didn’t need to watch where he was driving us.Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Host/Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Background reading:Mark Carney shows middle powers how to handle a dangerous world – The EconomistCarney Is the Crisis Manager Canada Needs – Maclean'sWho Is Mark Carney, Really? – The WalrusMark Carney Interview: Canada’s Leader Lays Out Vision for Breaking Reliance on U.S. – The New York TimesThe Political Education of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney – POLITICOSponsors: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

The messaging platform Discord is under scrutiny after the FBI alleges it was used to plan the Tumbler Ridge attack. Cody James Bryant, a 30-year-old resident of Bellingham, Washington has been charged with conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country. In the 6 months leading up to the attack, Bryant communicated daily with the Tumbler Ridge shooter, Jesse Van Roostselaar, helping to plan, encourage, and fund the purchase of equipment. B.C. Premier David Eby is calling on Ottawa to regulate platforms like Discord, so that law enforcement is informed when concerning content appears.Sarah Rieger of Betakit joins Julian Abraham to consider the tricky balance between privacy and safety in tech regulation.

CANADALAND’s previous coverage of Galloway has come under scrutiny in Quillette and from Margaret Atwood. Rahim Mohamed joins Jesse Brown to dig into the archives to consider if mistakes were made and what can we learn from the Galloway case with the benefit of hindsight.

There are just a few days left until Alberta’s referendum on separation (and more). If the vote goes through, it won't redraw the country’s borders overnight, but it could give Premier Smith a mandate to pursue the next vote where Alberta could actually separate. Host Noor Azrieh sits down with Premier Smith to ask what she’s prepared to do if the vote goes through, and how much responsibility she takes for getting Alberta to this point.

He told four provincial agencies, the ones in charge of booze, pot, the lottery, and transportation, that they had to buy ads from local Ontario publishers. Buy Canadian. This directive came after years of provincial ad money being funneled to American tech and media. Millions of Canadian taxpayer dollars fed to Meta or Google for ad buys or the now notorious $8 million ad spend that included a government of Ontario Super Bowl ad. They were basically advertising to Canadians through American outlets. So for Ontario publishers the about face to a Buy Canadian advertising plan was a welcome change.So how did it pan out? Where did the millions in ad spending actually go? Who won? Who lost out on the cash? Our reporter Gemma Boothroyd went digging for answers.And those questions Gemma chased are all the more important now that the Federal Government is rumoured to be considering scaling up the Ontario plan to the federal level.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Gemma Boothroyd (Reporter), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Tristan (Audio Editing & Production), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkImage by LGOntarioMore information:Ontario ad campaign 'It's Happening Here' has cost taxpayers $8M | CBC NewsDoug Ford promises 25 per cent of government agency, provincial advertising budgets to local media outlets — Toronto StarSponsors: Fizz: Visit https://fizz.ca and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get $25 off and 10GB of free data.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

An editorial in the National Post considers “How to Deal with Avi Lewis” according to Jewish law, following a Yom Kippur post made by Lewis calling for the Jewish community to take responsibility for failing to stop “an ongoing genocide committed in our name.”Critics of the editorial argue that the National Post crossed the line, advocating for violence against Lewis. Meanwhile, a CBC journalist, Neil Herland, is taken off the air for documenting his personal experience of a protest outside a Yom Kippur Synagogue service in Toronto.Harrison Lowman joins Jesse Brown to discuss why online discourse is more focused on X posts and editorials than the crisis facing Jewish Canadians, underscored by the violent antisemitic attack on a synagogue in Belleville.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson (Senior Producer), Julian Abraham (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Harrison LowmanAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading: Avi Lewis’ Yom Kippur Post on XAvi Lewis’s foolish statement on ‘Jewish people’ should be disqualifying - The Globe and MailYoni Goldstein: Jewish law tells us how to deal with Avi Lewis | National PostNational Post crosses dangerous line by publishing call for violence against NDP leader - RicochetI’m familiar with death threats.
