Is Trump's crazy train an existential threat to Canada or an existential opportunity?Cory Doctorow gave the world the concept of “ensh*ttification”. Doctorow's doctrine says there is a gradual but inevitable process by which tech platforms go from marvelous and novel and exciting to, well, they go to sh*t. They get less useful and more spammy. Your Netflix library gets smaller while your monthly fee gets bigger. It gets harder to find the Google link you were looking for underneath all the sponsored links. Uber rates seem to always be set to surge pricing. The idea can be applied to Canada itself. For a long time we enjoyed bundled access to the U.S. cable package. We got access to their markets. We got military protection. We were along for the ride of globalization. All we had to do was play by their trade rules, their foreign policy expectations. We had to subscribe to their vision of the world.But the beta test is over. Now that we are locked into their platform, introductory rates are no longer available. If we want to trade with them, it'll cost us. If we want a golden dome protecting us, it'll cost us. Even if we just want off the crazy train, it'll cost us.Can we unsh*ttify Canada?Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Featured guest: Cory DoctorowFact checking by Julian AbrahamMore information:https://craphound.com/Sponsors: oxio: Head over to https://canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!

The Civil Rights Movement of the ‘50s and ‘60s in the United States gave the world iconic, inspiring, and sometimes horrific moments, burned by repetition into the public imagination. Even as a Canadian, you know the sights and sounds of that civil rights fight. You can picture MLK preaching his dream.But what did the civil rights struggle look and sound like in Canada? Does anything come to mind? Perhaps Viola Desmond, challenging segregation at a cinema in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, recently memorialized on the ten dollar bill. Why so few images in the collective conscience? Where are the Canadian sights and sounds of the era?Today's guest has the answer, and the footage to back it up.

The Rogers family drama was epic. An imperious and secretive billionaire telecom overlord clan loathed across the nation, a ne'er do well heir to the throne and his fashionista wife hanging out at Mar-a-Lago, his secret scheme to seize control of his dead father's empire exposed by an errant butt dial.If that had happened anywhere else, you bet they'd make a movie about it. But it happened in Canada, eh. So instead of a blockbuster they made a one man play about it. Playwright Michael Healey wrote that play and he joins us today to survey the saga that was Rogers vs. Rogers.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Featured Guest: Michael HealeyFact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkMore information:Rogers v.

What happens after the men with guns who run your country take aim at you? Last year reporter Molly Thomas traveled to Pakistan for Canadaland to file a series of reports on one of the world's biggest refugee crises. There are currently somewhere between 1.5 and 3 million Afghans who have fled the Taliban and who are now stuck in limbo in Pakistan. Many have been trying to get to Canada.Molly's series was called Dear Taliban and one of her stories featured a young woman who called herself Haya.Haya and her family fled from Kabul to Pakistan where they found themselves stranded and that's where her story ended for us. That was until we heard that Haya had finally made it out and reached CanadaJournalists rarely get this kind of opportunity to follow up on a story that happened halfway around the world.

Rabih (Robby) Alkhalil was in prison for one murder and on trial for another. Then on July 21st, 2022 Alkhalil slipped into a black jumpsuit and a high visibility vest and he walked out the front door of a BC prison. He hopped into a waiting white van and disappeared. And for the last three years Alkhalil has stayed, at least, one step ahead of the law.Alkhalil made new headlines last week. A series of news reports claimed he'd been arrested in Qatar. The RCMP scheduled a press conference and promised an update on the case. Then something weird happened. The RCMP announced that three men had been charged in connection with helping Alkhalil escape, but the RCMP would neither confirm nor deny that he was arrested in Qatar.Was his escape the most audacious in recent Canadian history? Was it a stunning display of the prison authority's incompetence or corruption? And why won't the RCMP confirm or deny his capture in Qatar?Veteran crime beat reporter Peter Edwards joins us to try and make sense of the escape and manhunt of Robby Alkhalil.Credits:Host: Jesse BrownCaleb Thompson (Post Production), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: Mubi: To stream great cinema at home, you can try MUBI free for 30 days at mubi.com/canadaland for a month of great cinema for free.The Oat Company: Head over to oatcompany.com and use code CANADALAND20 for 20% off your order.

Mark Carney recently made noises about the future possibility of Canadian boots on the ground as part of an international “coalition of the willing” to help guarantee security in Ukraine. In the 1990s Canada had up to 3,000 peacekeepers around the world at any given time. Today we have less than 30. That's one per cent of what we used to be able to do.So how would Carney get us back in the game? Is it a game we want to play? Or are even capable of playing anymore?Lloyd Axworthy thinks so. He was Minister of Foreign Affairs at the height of our peacekeeping commitments in the late 1990s. But his vision today goes far beyond blue helmets.Credits:Host: Jesse BrownCaleb Thompson (Post Production), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!

The race to succeed Jagmeet Singh has begun, but most of the NDP's big names are steering clear. Post-election, vibes within the party have been bleak, mired with handwringing, infighting, and no clear guiding vision.

The Hudson's Bay Company is dead. While the Canadian media obsesses over the sale of The Bay's retail properties, thousands of historical artefacts and artworks — including the original copy of the Royal Charter — sit concealed in the cockles of the company's dustiest vault. Now, Canada's oldest retailer is hemming and hawing over donating these culturally-significant artefacts to Indigenous communities requesting them, or selling the artefacts for cold, hard cash… all-the-while refusing to share what's in their inventory.Taylor Noakes chats with Jesse about why the Bay's obfuscation of their collection is more important than a document — even one the king signed.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Jules Bugiel (Producer), Lucie Laumonier (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), tom sayers (Audio Editor), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Taylor NoakesThis episode uses generative AI for the following purposes: Voice cloning of Canadaland's editor and publisher Jesse Brown.NOTE: A previous version of this episode included a shorter version of Ruby Liu's email to Justice Peter Osborne.
