(CANADALANDBACK) Reclamation At Stoney Point - Part Two

Ep. 834

In part two: After a peaceful reclamation of the army base built on their land in 1993, elders of Stoney Point lead a movement to take back Ipperwash Provincial Park, which was also part of their original land and contained a burial ground. Racism and political interference turned a peaceful movement into a violent act of state aggression on September 6, 1995. This episode recalls the events of that night, and examines the fallout in the 28 years since, asking if reconciliation will ever be possible for the people of Stoney Point.


In this podcast: interviews include Bonnie Bressette, Caroline “Cully” George, Pierre George, Kevin Simon, Claudette Bressette, Alabama Bressette, and Donald Worme. 


The episode is in memory of Anthony “Dudley” George.

    When governments and corporations want to stay on top of the “threats” posed by protest movements — from climate campaigns to animal-rights advocacy — there’s one company that they tend to turn to: Welund. Founded in the UK in 2007, it expanded to North America about a decade later, setting up shop in Calgary (where it’s now called Foresight Reports). So who are they? And what does it mean when public-sector bodies farm out their intelligence gathering to a private firm?To find out, we put our own open-source intelligence skills to the test.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading:Secretive intelligence firm with Alberta government contract spying on journalist Brandi Morin — RicochetThe Private Intelligence Firm Keeping Tabs on Environmentalists — Mother JonesBAE spy named by campaigners is friend of leading Tory — The GuardianBP paid ex-MI6 spy firm to snoop on green campaigners — openDemocracyEp. 35 - Larry Hardcastle — Brilliant Business PodcastInformation commissioner finds feds withheld details of relationship with private spy agency — RicochetForesight Reports website — Welund North AmericaSponsors: Squarespace, AG1, Better HelpIf you value this podcast, support us!

  • 973. (Short Cuts) The Musk of Censorship

    39:14
    As Elon Musk rails against content moderation in a disastrous interview with Don Lemon, Jesse and Ivor Shapiro reconsider Canada’s new approach to online speech. Is the Online Harms Act as Orwellian as Margaret Atwood thinks it is? Also, immigration is coming up a lot in the news these days. Is the recent media discourse actually….mature?Clarification: When Jesse reads from Bill C-63 Online Harms Act 17 he says "A person may, with the Attorney General's consent, lay an information before a provincial court judge if the person fears on reasonable grounds that another person will commit hate speech." He meant to say Section 17 "refers to existing parts of the criminal code that govern hate speech."Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guest: Ivor Shapiro   Further reading: Trudeau’s Orwellian online harms bill - The Spectator (UK)Margaret Atwood, Elon Musk call out Trudeau's 'Orwellian' hate speech legislation - National PostFinding a Way Forward for Jews and Palestinians in This Terrible Time [VIDEO] - Centre For Free ExpressionInfectious-disease scientist fired from Winnipeg laboratory surfaces in China - Globe and MailWe’re Falling Into Trump’s Trap… Again - PersuasionImmigration is making Canada's housing more expensive.

  • 972. The Witch Trials Of Andy Mills

    54:49
    Andy Mill’s is the co-creator of The New York Times ground-breaking podcast, The Daily, and before that worked on the equally inventive and critically acknowledged podcast Radiolab. He’s also one of the very few journalists to gain the trust of J.K. Rowling for his series The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling. Finally, he’s been the subject of critical reporting from Canadaland for his work on the Peabody Award winning series for The New York Times, Caliphate. That series was stripped of the Peabody and Mills himself was “cancelled” for a combination of the Caliphate controversy and a series of attacks on twitter for his past work-place behaviour.It’s a rare opportunity to speak with someone with a CV like Mills’ and even rarer for Jesse to have the opportunity to come face to face with someone who has been the subject of intense scrutiny from Canadaland’s reporting.To hear an extended version of this interview, become a supporter by going to https://canadaland.com/joinTo learn more:Califail — CANADALANDAndy Mills’ Professional Website — Andy MillsCaliphate — The New York TimesThe Witch Trials of J.K.

  • 970. How Work Got So Sh*tty

    27:25
    Labour used to be a beat. A major beat for any newspaper. Which, you know, makes sense. Because what happens with work, with the world of work, that matters to so many more people than any other section in the newspaper, more than politics or foreign affairs or even business. But the age of the working person's newspaper is just about dead, and along with it, the labour beat.But maybe not to news audiences. We get constant emails from you asking us to take a closer look at work in Canada. The entire new season of our sister show Commons is called Work, and this week we hand the show over to the Commons team. Arshy Mann, Jordan Cornish, and Noor Azrieh are going to tell you about what they have found, about what it means to work and be a worker in Canada.Subscribe to COMMONS: Work in your favourite podcast app here!Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Arshy Mann (Host and Producer), Jordan Cornish (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Producer), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Sponsors: Squarespace, Rotman, AG1If you value this podcast, support us!

  • 969. (Short Cuts) Mulroney: One of Canada's Most Divisive Prime Ministers

    41:33
    From Winnipeg to Wuhan, Canada is embroiled in an international spy situation, but why does no one seem to care anymore? Recent documents released from the investigation of scientist Dr. Xiangguo Qiu contain bombshells that may point back to the COVID lab leak theory. As the obituaries and puff pieces roll in, the Canadian media seems to have forgotten that Brian Mulroney was - in fact - divisive. Correcting the record on “Conservative Titan” Brian Mulroney. Clarification (March 18, 2024): While the Investigative Journalism Foundation’s Open By Default database includes roughly 20,000 records released by federal departments and agencies in response to access-to-information requests, The Globe and Mail’s Secret Canada project is broader in scope, encompassing summaries of more than 300,000 requests made to over 600 federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal institutions across the country.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson(Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guest: Jan Wong Further reading: Lies and scandal: How two rogue scientists at a high-security lab triggered a national security calamity - CBC News The big problem with the Winnipeg lab affair was obvious from the start: too much secrecy - CBC NewsDocuments reveal fired scientists shared information with China - The Decibel PodcastBrian Mulroney, 18th prime minister and Progressive Conservative titan, dead at 84 | Politics - Canadian PressGlobe editorial: Brian Mulroney, the last great prime minister - Globe and MailThe IJF launches ‘Open By Default,’ - Investigative Journalism FoundationChina ends 30-year tradition: premier's annual press conference - Reuters Sponsors: Calm, Douglas, Article If you value this podcast, Support us!

  • 968. The Conservative Decade Ahead

    41:43
    Let’s skip two years of horse race punditry and commentary. It's over already. Barring some unforeseeable act of God, Pierre Poilievre is not just going to win, he is going to stomp to victory. The Liberals will likely be rebuilding from close to scratch and this country might be looking at a good long period of right wing rule. What does that look like? What does it mean for housing, crime, and the media landscape?Today on the show, Jesse speaks with prominent journalists, Jen Gerson, Paul Wells, and Stephen Marche to find out more.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading: Conservatives open up a 19-point lead over the Liberals — Abacus DataJen Gerson’s Substack — The LinePaul Well’s SubstackStephen Marche’s websiteSponsors: Squarespace, Douglas, CFUV, Better HelpIf you value this podcast, support us!
