It’s Time to Break Up with American News

Why are we reporting on American news when we have more than enough to cover here in Canada?


Canadian media has been breathlessly covering Trump, Epstein, Stephen Colbert, and The Wall Street Journal, but all this reporting doesn’t add much to the conversation. 


Is it time to decouple Canadian news from the US news cycle?

Dairy and Trump: The Art of The Veal

Canada is obsessed with dairy. It’s quite literally part of our culture…we’re talking soccer medals with the little blue milk logo on them. But someone else is also utterly obsessed with Canadian dairy. Donald Trump. What does Trump want…and why?


And if Carney caved on the NATO budget, and on the Digital Services tax - Is he going to cave on Trumps demands on dairy too?

How Google’s A.I. Search May Kill News Dead

It’s now common to get AI generated answers from Google when searching the web. The whole concept of searching Google to find actual websites is almost over. 


Google does not want you to click on a link and go to a website. Instead, they're giving users as the first thing you see, an AI overview that analyzes hundreds, thousands, (possibly) millions of websites to give you an answer right there on the Google page. Convenient? Yes. User friendly? Yup. Causing news publishers to lose their minds? Absofrigginlutely.


Today our guest is Ben Smith. He literally wrote the book on web traffic. It's called Traffic: Genius, Rivalry, and Delusion in the Billion Dollar Race to Go Viral.


He's the co-founder and Editor-in-Chief at Semafor and co-host of the Mixed Signals podcast.

Ben helps us figure out what this fundamental change in how we use the web means for you the news consumer and what it could mean for the future of Canadaland.

The Genius Plan to Fix the CBC Forever

A closer look at Travis Dhanraj’s public breakup with the CBC. 


In a fiery open letter, former host of Canada Tonight, Travis Dhanraj, excoriated the CBC for its “performative diversity, tokenism, a system designed to elevate certain voices and diminish others.” He also called out “a small circle of senior Ottawa-based journalists.” He says he’s ready to “pull the curtain back” on CBC’s toxic culture. What’s he waiting for?

‘Pave the Arctic,’ They Said. ‘It’ll be Fine,’ They Said

A 230km all-season road and deep water port could be one of Carney’s first major “nation-building projects.” Is everyone on board?


The Grays Bay Port and Road would connect the Northwest Territories to Nunavut to the hotly contested Northwest Passage. It would provide shipping routes, better access and Arctic security, but some hunters are worried about the environmental impact.


Will this get built? Who’s going to pay? What are the impacts?

BONUS: Things You’ll Never Hear on Canadaland

Today we’re bringing you all the trash that’s not fit for the feed. But one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.


Look, we record a lot of stuff… and we cut a lot of stuff. That’s just part of the biz.


We often have to cut stuff we love, a process usually called “killing your babies”—because you love them so much, and they’re just so perfect… but nope, they gotta go.


So we went dumpster diving through producer James Nicholson’s 20+ hours of tape to bring you all the good stuff we didn’t air on his recent documentary for Canadaland, Canada’s Greatest Game (No, Not That One).

After Depression Meds, She Lost Her Sexuality

Emily Grey’s been living with a condition known as PSSD for six years now. PSSD can lead to the effective erasure of a person's sexual sensation and functioning.


The SSRIs that seem to be at the heart of this condition are selective serotonin uptake inhibitors, a group of antidepressant drugs that have been around for decades. The latest numbers indicate that nearly 20% of Canadian women and 10% of Canadian men are now taking these drugs. 


It is generally known that potential side effects include a loss of libido. But what we're talking about today and what advocates like Emily have been saying for years is that the side effects can be very extreme. They might persist even after you stop taking SSRIs.


We'll also be speaking with Dr. David Healy, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Cardiff in Wales. Dr. Healy has been involved in SSRI research for decades. He's the author of over a dozen books on psychopharmacology, including Let Them Eat Prozac, the Unhealthy Relationship Between The Pharmaceutical Industry and Depression.


Also on our panel is Dr. Caroline Pukall professor of psychology at Queen's University whose research focuses on sexual wellbeing and includes sexual psychophysiology.

Shock & Awe

Today we are bringing you a great episode from our friends at Canada’s National Observer. Canada’s National Observer teamed up with DeSmog, an online investigative that describes itself as an antidote to science denial and misinformation, on The Takeover project. This project was produced in collaboration with I-SEA and the Trace Foundation.


We went to the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London, a right-wing networking event organized by former U of T professor Jordan Peterson. We observed how speakers spread anti-net-zero strategies across a growing conservative network that includes the U.S., the U.K. Europe, Australia and Canada.


This podcast is the result of a collaboration between Canada's National Observer, De Smog, I-SEA and The Trace Foundation.

CANADALAND
Canada’s Greatest Game (No, Not That One)

Do you know your hammer from your hanger?


From the Netherlands to Japan competitors from around the world share one dream. To make it to the world championship of Canada’s greatest game. So for one day each year they travel thousands of miles to Tavistock, a small town in southern Ontario, to play the game the author of Anne of Green Gables loathed, the game so many of the rest of us love. They come to battle over the board, to play Crokinole.


Our reporter, James Nicholson, calls it the Coachella of board game gatherings. So join James at the World Crokinole Championship.


Reporter (James Nicholson) Caleb Thompson (Field Recording & Post Production), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)
