CANADALAND

Mark Carney sat down for a wide-ranging hour-long interview with the New York Times. The headlines focused on Canada's preparations for the “extreme tail risk” of a US invasion, but what else can we learn about Carney's political approach from the 8000 word transcript?The interview drew criticism in Canada, centered around Carney's choice of a foreign outlet, rather than a Canadian one. But what can that tell us about his intended audience and communications strategy? Zain Velji joins San Grewal to discuss our Prime Minister's global messaging and the domestic concerns waiting at home.

Elizabeth May is a fierce, dogged critic. No matter the government. Mark Carney's Liberals are no exception. I wanted to know what she's actually seen and heard, because even though Elizabeth May has been pissed before, host Noor Azrieh is sensing a rage she hasn't seen before.Plus, after a long hiatus, Parliament reconvened last week. And Mark Carney's Liberals wasted no time tabling their Building Canada Strong Act.

You can't really call Regina a news desert. They still have a newspaper. But if you actually look under the hood you'll discover that they stopped printing the newspaper in Regina. They stopped editing it in Regina. The editor lives somewhere else. And as far the CBC goes, well, that acronym is now synonymous with layoffs.Everyone from the legacy media who purports to be telling people in Regina what is going on in their own community is doing so with less resources than ever before. These are zombie news organizations. That creates a news vacuum. A place for someone new to step in. And somebody did.And that somebody peddles garbage. That's not a value judgment of this new news source in Regina. It's just the objective truth. They're a garbage company called Just Bins. They provide dumpsters and news to the people of Regina. And they may be providing news to more people in Regina than anyone else.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Kevin O'Keefe (Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher), Caleb Thompson (additional production assistance)Additional music by Audio NetworkFurther Reading: Guardian Law Group no longer representing URSU in Just Bins/Khan defamation lawsuitSponsors:Visit fizz.ca to learn more about Fizz mobile and its long list of added-value features, and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get 25 off and 10GB of free data.Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at https://shopify.caArticle: Article is offering our listeners $50 off your first purchase of $100 or more.

The announcement that the EU is “opening the door” to Canada for associate membership overshadowed how the story initially broke. Following detailed reporting in the Wall Street Journal, Carney denied that Canada was seeking membership in the EU. Days later, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced that Canada was in fact being considered for associate membership. Why did Carney and government sources initially deny the story? And should Canadian media hold him accountable for misleading the public?

Apocalyptic A.I. headlines are all over the news, following a former Anthropic employee's whistleblowing on the threat to humanity posed by out of control A.I. systems. But that was just the start: a flurry of safety-related announcements from major A.I. companies underscored the tangible risk of the technology.

He was the doctor who almost got Joe Rogan cancelled. The controversy he roiled on Rogan brought the show some its highest ever ratings. So you might have been among the 40 million who caught Dr. Peter McCullough on Rogan where he spoke out against the COVID vaccine near the start of the pandemic. He was accused of undermining public health efforts and spreading misinformation.And last week Dr. McCullough was on Parliament Hill. But chances are you didn't hear about that appearance. Most of the mainstream media, and nearly all the nation's MPs, took a pass on attending the Allison Inquiry into injuries sustained by Canadians from the vaccine.Dr. McCullough joins us today. But he's not here to debate his opinion on the science of vaccines.  Instead we wanted to discuss his experience at the centre of the Rogan controversy. We wanted to ask him whether people should be getting medical advice from shows like Rogan's. We wanted to know what he thought about the splintering of public faith in mainstream institutions, a splintering that the pandemic sped up. We wanted to know where he thinks all this division has left us. At least, that's what we set out to do….Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Chad Galloway (Audio Editing & Production), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Additional music by Audio NetworkFact checking by Julian AbrahamMore information:Allison Inquiry | Listening to Canadian Covid-19 Vaccine InjuredConservative MP holds independent hearings into COVID-19 vaccine injuries - CBCMP calls for public participation in COVID-19 vaccine injury inquiry - Global NewsIt's hard to bury victims' tears at Allison vaccine injury inquiry - Toronto Sun'My life is effectively destroyed': Allison Inquiry exposes twin faces of fight against COVID vaccine policies - National Post ‘I felt duped': COVID vaccine injury victim not impressed by inquiry into Canadian vaccine injuries - CTVDr. Peter McCullough's Libertarian Medical Train Makes a Pit Stop in East Palestine - McGillJoe Rogan podcast hosts doctor known for pushing debunked claims about Covid-19 - The IndependentSpotify to Add ‘Content Advisory' Warnings to Podcasts With Covid Discussion - The Rolling StoneSponsors: Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at https://shopify.caFizz: Visit https://fizz.ca and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get 40$ off and 10GB of free data.BetterHelp: Visit https://betterHelp.com/canadaland today to get 10% off your first month.Can't get enough Canadaland?

There was no shortage of retrospective 9/11 coverage in Canadian outlets, but the tone and focus was a lot different than south of the border. Jean Chretien's address in Gander foregrounded how much has changed in the Canada/US relationship, while a Canadian Press article focusing on Islamophobia caused outrage online.Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to talk about journalistic approaches to covering historical tragedies, and to reflect on 9/11's impact.

A report in the Wall Street Journal suggests that Carney's is pushing for Canada to join the EU as an “associate member.” Carney says he's pursuing an “unique alliance,” rather than membership. As Carney heads to France to address the EU parliament on Thursday, questions swirl around what exactly this new relationship between Canada and the EU will entail. Meanwhile, the President of the EU parliament announces a new “antenna” office in Ottawa. Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to consider the likelihood of Canada's European future.

It is the biggest leveraged buyout in history. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) just bought EA Games: one of the world's biggest video game companies. PIF joined forces with two American investment firms (one run by Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner) to buy the gaming giant for $55 billion.But this could be about a lot more than just video games. EA has more than 700 million players worldwide, and it's collecting vast amounts of data on them. What are the national security and privacy implications of a foreign sovereign wealth fund controlling a company with all that data? And given EA has a Canadian subsidiary with Canadian employees and, of course, Canadian players — how has the Canadian government scrutinized this deal?Host: Gemma BoothroydCredits: Gemma Boothroyd (Reporter), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Chad Galloway (Audio Editing & Production), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian Abraham Additional music by Audio NetworkImage by Saudi Press AgencyMore information:Saudi-led group completes $55bn purchase of gaming giant EA - BBCExecutions in Saudi Arabia hit highest number on record in 2025 - The Guardian The Kingdom Came to Canada: How Saudi-Linked Digital Espionage Reached Canadian Soil - The Citizen Lab After 25 years, I'm breaking up with The Sims.

A trend of “Blame Canada” memes is causing a schism amongst conservatives. Far-right conservative influencers are gleefully amplifying MAGA-style messaging around Carney and Canada, while more moderate conservative voices are calling them “traitorous.” Under Pierre Poilievre, the CPC embraced right-wing influencers, offering them “content creator” passes and access to events, but now they're trying to distance themselves.Is the turf war between establishment conservatives and edgy memelords overblown?

As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, the CBC's longstanding policy towards reporting on acts of terrorism suddenly became an international story.A leaked internal CBC memo that instructed journalists not to refer to 9/11 as a terrorist attack without attribution sparked backlash on both sides of the border. In the context of the trade war, CBC's journalistic policy became a flashpoint for Republicans, with US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra suggesting it further jeopardized trade relations between Canada and the US. Jen Gerson of The Line joins Julian Abraham to explain how the CBC escalated trade war tensions (even if it didn't intend to) and what happens next now that the CBC changed its policy towards 9/11.

In the history of journalism, there have been a number of iconic interviews. Interviews that defined a generation and uncovered truths from some of the biggest political scandals of the time. Richard Nixon, Monica Lewinsky, the ex-Duke of York formerly known as Prince Andrew, to name only a few.Today, we bring you an interview with Nathen Mazri. Former Garfield Eats proprietor, former PPC candidate, and now, running for Toronto City Council in Ward 1 Etobicoke North. Will this interview be as era-defining as the others? His CV is likely stranger than any other candidate, and his legally distinct Garfield (called Nathfield) campaign song probably isn't going to top the charts. He only got 235 votes during the last federal election, so why does he think he has a shot at being mayor of Toronto in 2030?Is he delusional? Or is his conviction so strong that he might just do it?

Canadians are increasingly getting their news from the New York Times. As the NYT increases its global footprint, growing to over 3 million international subscribers, Canada remains its largest international market.

There's been wall-to-wall coverage of the breakdown in trade talks between Canada and the US, on both sides of the border. Whether it's Trump's renaming of Lake Ontario, gun-toting A.I. Canadian Geese, or continual investigations into what exactly happened during the final hours of trade talks. But the rest of the world is also covering the Canada-US trade war in terms of the “rupture” Carney described in his speech at Davos. Are we missing the rupture for details about the deal? Is it possible that Canada is ready to decouple economically and culturally from America? Author and journalist Morgan Campbell joins San Grewal.

In August 2026, the Government of Canada released a report titled Campus Antisemitism and Student Experiences. The survey found that “95.7% of Jewish students said they had experienced or witnessed at least one instance of antisemitism over the previous 12 months.”So the back to school jitters are hitting differently for some kids. There have been other issues involving staff, administrations, and unions too, affecting both Jewish professors and non-Jewish professors.  Today we hear from three Canadian academics bringing you their stories from campuses that, nearly 3 years after October 7, might be unrecognizable to you.Further Reading:Campus Antisemitism and Student Experiences — Government of CanadaThe antisemitism report that erases a century of Jewish debate — The Globe & MailStanding United Against Antisemitism: Protecting Communities and Strengthening Canadian Democracy — Senate of CanadaAntisemitism in Ontario's K-12 Schools — Government of CanadaToronto Metropolitan University External Review 2025-2026Jewish students on Canadian campuses report pervasive antisemitism in survey — The Globe & MailFederal Campus Antisemitism Report Fails to Represent Jewish Student Diversity — Independent Jewish Voices CanadaCampus Antisemitism Report Hid a Key Finding that Turns the Results Upside Down — The GrindJohn Ivison: The Canadian university teacher facing firing for daring to denounce Hamas — The National PostJohn Ivison: University instructor fights back after being suspended for daring to denounce Hamas — The National PostNon-Jewish professor says he was fired for calling out Hamas supporters in online post — Fox News DigitalCurrently listed entities — Government of Canada, Public SafetyPalestine: Education International members offer a lifeline of solidarity to Gaza's educators — Education InternationalHost: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer, Senior Production Supervisor), Chad Galloway (Audio Editing & Production), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Featured guests: Jack Jedwab, Paul Finlayson, Jeff MarcusFact checking by: Tristan CapacchioneAdditional music by: Audio NetworkSponsors: Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

As trade negotiations broke down, Canadian streaming policy, CanCon requirements, and French language discoverability have taken a surprisingly central role in the narrative. Mark Carney says last minute US trade demands threatened our cultural sovereignty, while US Trade Representative Jameson Greer called this a “funny, fake story.” Digital law expert Michael Geist joins to talk about where digital policies fit into the trade discussion, the future of Canadian digital policy, and whether recent developments in the trade war present an opportunity to decouple from US tech giants.

Both Carney and US Trade Representative Jameson Greer are offering their versions of the final hours of negotiations. Meanwhile, reporters are talking to sources, all of whom are looking to spin the narrative. What really happened? Plus, the Jamil Jivani of it all, and TMU isn't satisfied with the report it commissioned on antisemitism on campus.

Mark Carney's government is reviewing Canada's Labour Code, and one of the biggest questions on the table is the right to strike.In recent years, the federal government has increasingly used Section 107 to intervene in strikes involving workers in industries like rail, airlines, and the postal service. Now, employers are pushing for new rules that could give the government more tools to prevent major work stoppages in the first place.So what could change? Why do employers want it? What do unions think? And if the government already has Section 107, why rewrite the Labour Code at all?Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Host/Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Christopher Monette, Derrick Hynes, Adam Donald King, MP Don DaviesPhoto: WestJet ComponentBackground reading:Read Mark Carney's full speech after trade talks with the U.S. collapsed – CBC NewsU.S.-Canada Trade War: What to Know About Tariffs and the Negotiations – The New York TimesTrump threatens 50% tariffs on all cars and trucks from Canada amid trade fight – ReutersUnions warn Carney government is considering sweeping changes to labour law — including the right to strike – CBC NewsCanadian employers urge Carney to stop some strikes before they begin – Financial PostMark Carney's Government is Rushing Through Major Changes to Canada's Labour Laws.

As recent events in Ukraine, Russia, and Iran have clearly demonstrated, the nature of modern warfare is changing fast (think: drones). Canada will get left behind if it doesn't start innovating fast. And that could have not just a winning effect on its defence capabilities but also it's an opportunity to stimulate other industries. Host Stephen Marche explores the advent of drone warfare with Tim Mak, Kyiv-based publisher of The Counteroffensive; and Cameron Chell, a Canadian  aerospace and defence tech entrepreneur at Dragonfly, shares how the nascent Canadian drone industry can drive technological innovation, not just in the defence sphere but also in a multitude of other uses that will bolster the country's economy.

E-scooters are making headlines as a dangerous transportation option. From Xav Trudeau not wearing a helmet in an e-Scooter ad, to editorials calling them a scourge. Are they a dangerous public nuisance or a sign that we haven't yet embraced the future of transportation?

B.C.'s wildfires spread at unprecedented speeds, resulting in tens of thousands of evacuations and a province-wide state of emergency. Yet, nationally, the fires didn't garner the same level of media attention as Northern Ontario's fires last month. Why the disconnect?

Pierre Poilievre has a lot of haters. But his biggest hater might just be Kory Teneycke. This is a guy who comes from inside the Conservative machine. He was Stephen Harper's communications director. He helped Doug Ford win. Then win again. Then again.And for months, Teneycke's been publicly dragging Pierre Poilievre through the mud. No holds barred. He questioned Poilievre's strategy.

Abdulahat Nur grew up in East Turkistan. That's what many Uyghurs, a Muslim Turkic people of Central Asia, call it. But if you're a Chinese state official the region is called Xinjiang, or “New Frontier.” For many it echoes the same sort of arguments that surround Tibet.China's treatment of the Uyghurs has led to intense international scrutiny, particularly its use of internment camps or what China calls “vocational training centres.” The level of allegations against China has risen to accusations of genocide.Raising awareness of the Uyghur cause is one of Abdulahat Nur's primary roles as Prime Minister of East Turkistan. But there is his bus route in Edmonton as well…Host: Sam KonnertCredits: Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Chad Galloway (Audio Editing & Production), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Additional music by Audio NetworkFact checking by Julian AbrahamMore information:East Turkistan's prime minister in exile a north Edmonton school bus driver | The Edmonton JournalWho are the Uyghurs and why is China being accused of genocide? | BBCUyghurs in Canada fear deportation after China's crackdown on Turkic Muslims | CBC“Eradicating Ideological Viruses” China's Campaign of Repression Against Xinjiang's Muslims | Human Rights WatchChina denies UN allegation that a million Uighurs held in 'massive internment camp' | CBC China Is Finding New Ways to Coerce Uyghurs Abroad | Foreign Policy Magazine Sponsors: Squarespace: Check out https://squarespace.com/canadaland for a free trial, and when you're ready to launch use code canadaland to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

A Canadian intern, Biwei Zhang, is alleged to have spied on NATO for China, raising questions about the persistence of Chinese espionage in Canada. The former civil servant held positions for a number of Canadian agencies including StatsCan, the National Research Council, and the Canadian Space Agency. In 2023, she was found to have committed fraud on her application to the Canada Border Services Agency. Combined with other high profile cases of Chinese spying in the Canadian civil service, Harrison Lowman of The Hub joins to discuss why Canada is a soft target for Chinese espionage, and whether closer trade ties with China carries an increased security risk.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Kallan Lyons (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), Imogen Sayers, (Mixing and Mastering), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Harrison LowmanPhoto: icc-rcn.caFurther reading: What we know so far about the Canadian NATO intern accused of spying for China - The Globe and MailCarney says Canada involved ‘from the start' in NATO intern spying case - National | Globalnews.caEx-government scientist accused of copying work files to further new career in China - The Globe and MailEx-Hydro-Québec employee accused of espionage: Verdict expected - CTV News Chinese Spies Are Recruiting Canadians on LinkedIn | The WalrusEDITORIAL: Canada sacrificing security for trade | Toronto SunAccused NATO Spy Photographed Justin Trudeau Speaking at a Toronto Gala in July 2014, Years Before Entering Government - The Bureau Sponsors:Squarespace: Check out Squarespace.com/canadaland for a free trial, and when you're ready to launch use code canadaland to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.Fizz Mobile: Visit fizz.ca and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN40 to get 40$ off and 10GB of free data.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

A report in the Globe and Mail says Canada is offering concessions to get a trade deal. Canadians and pundits aren't happy with the idea. Is it just a trial balloon or is Carney willing to pay the political price to reduce tariffs? Meanwhile, rolling back Trudeau's digital policies targeting tech giants is one concession Carney seems happy to make. But how will it impact Canadian media funding?Plus, Canada continues to scale back its peacekeeping efforts, and a crime wave hiding in new StatsCan data.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Kallan Lyons (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), Imogen Sayers, (Mixing and Mastering), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Harrison LowmanPhoto: Jolanda Flubacher, World Economic ForumFurther reading: Ottawa discussing trade concessions with U.S. in return for some tariff relief, sources say - The Globe and MailMaking concessions to get a trade deal when the public's in a fighting mood - The Globe and Mail Concession Carney faces his Neville Chamberlain moment - The Globe and MailCarney would rather concede to Trump than risk short-term economic pain — The Globe and MailDispatch from the Front Lines: No deal. - The LineFollow the Money All the Way to Mark Carney's Canada - BloombergOttawa hastens its retreat from online regulation - Marc EdgeCanada's Big Tech shakedown failed.

Last Wednesday, Foreign Policy CAN tweeted that "Canada condemns the ongoing violence in the West Bank..." So later that day, the Embassy of Israel in Canada responded with "Israel condemns the ongoing violence against Jews in Canada..." Which begs the question, just what exactly is Canada's social media strategy? Does it even have one? It also got us thinking about the responsibility both the government and the media have when it comes to discussing Israel, and how the hyperfocus on one country impacts the safety of Canadian Jews.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Andrea Varsany (Producer), Kallan Lyons (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Jen GersonAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading: https://x.com/CanadaFP/status/2082478897514389914https://x.com/IsraelinCanada/status/2082538835930669094https://x.com/IsraelMFA/status/2082554515962651030Opinion | It's time Canada cut diplomatic ties with IsraelOpinion | As former diplomats to Israel and Palestine we know why Canada shouldn't cut ties with Israel Canada, 3 other countries summon Israeli ambassadors over video taunting flotilla activistsCanada summons Israeli ambassador over video of minister taunting activists | CBC.ca‘Israel Behind it': Spain ACCUSES Israel For Migrants Crisis After 60,000 Moroccan's Storms CeutaMLS investigating reports of antisemitic comments hurled at player in Montreal | CBC NewsChina's 'ethnic unity' law- a new tool to silence dissent? | DW NewsCanada's Carney warns antisemitism at postwar high - YouTubeTwo Jewish-owned bakeries attacked in Toronto; police release image of vehicle involvedOwners of Montreal kosher restaurant vow to rebuild after 'suspicious' fireCampus Antisemitism and Student Experiences — Government of Canada Sponsors:Fizz Mobile: Visit fizz.ca and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN40 to get 40$ off and 10GB of free data.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Lumber barons, dead brides, Trudeau's secret pool, nacho machines, you name it.But now, the Prime Minister's crumbling, rat-infested, maybe haunted official residence is getting a re-vamp.

Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib is a Palestinian-American writer who grew up in Gaza City. When he was eleven years-old he survived an Israeli airstrike that killed two of his friends and left him with permanent hearing loss in one ear. He travelled to the United States as a teenage exchange student in 2005 and later received political asylum after Hamas took over in Gaza. He now leads Realign for Palestine, a project advocating for what he calls, "a radically pragmatic approach to peace.”Today he talks to Canadaland about Hamas, Israel, the international response to the war in Gaza, and how his views on war and possible peace have turned him into a target from almost every direction.Host: Archie MatlowCredits: Caleb Thompson (Mixing & Mastering), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Additional music by Audio NetworkFact checking by Julian AbrahamMore information:Realign For PalestineAtlantic CouncilHamas and It's Two Million Hostages - Jewish QuarterlyHamas's Western Apologists Have Become Hamas Enthusiasts.

San Grewal and Rahim Mohamed discuss Robyn Urback's opinion piece in the Globe and Mail, titled, “Like a bad ex, Donald Trump is accidentally making Canada become its best self”. Indeed, national pride seems to be at an all-time high, but is it warranted? After all, hate crimes are on the rise, two Jewish bakeries were vandalized last weekend, and a group of white supremacists just threw a "family-friendly festival” called Bigotfest in North Bay.

Has President Claudia Sheinbaum figured out how to deal with Trump in a way we haven't?

Is the American empire officially in its "dying animal" era? Author and cultural critic Stephen Marche certainly thinks so and for the first time in his career, he's feeling downright optimistic. In Stephen's view, the collapse of U.S. global dominance isn't a tragedy for Canada; it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to ditch our toxic relationship with American markets, invest in our own sovereignty, and reinvent ourselves on the world stage. Host Jesse Brown isn't quite ready to pop the champagne. Armed with a weak Canadian dollar, decaying public infrastructure, and the words of Leonard Cohen, Jesse steps into the ring to challenge Stephen's sunny outlook.Will global chaos force Canada to finally thrive on its own, or are we forever tethered to a dying beast?Further Reading:Gloves Off Podcast - Stephen MarcheThe Next Civil War: Dispatches from the American Future — Stephen MarcheTrump's new 50% tariffs to hit even CUSMA-compliant goods — CBCDo you believe in the Old Canada, or the New Canada? — Globe & MailStephen Harper says Canada should ‘accept any level of damage' to fight back against Donald Trump — Toronto StarWATCH: Mark Carney at Davos: "A Rupture, Not a Transition" — CBS NewsLeonard Cohen Predicts the Future — The Cinch ReviewHost: Jesse BrownCredits: Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Chad Galloway (Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by: Julian AbrahamAdditional music by: Audio NetworkPhoto: George ThomasSponsors: Squarespace: Check out https://squarespace.com/canadaland for a free trial, and when you're ready to launch use code canadaland to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.
