Progressive Conservative Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston had been one of the most popular politicians in the country. Mark Carney-level popular. Regina George-level popular. For a while, it looked like Nova Scotia would be Houston's forever. But now his popularity is at its lowest point since he took on the top job. Host Noor Azrieh sits down with his former Justice Minister turned Liberal MLA Becky Druhan to unpack her striking political turn: how does a senior member of a government go from defending it to deciding the problem is the very government she once helped run?

Journalists and politicians are honouring Robert Fife, who retired after 48 years. Known for his big scoops, Fife leveraged anonymous sources to hold the powerful accountable. But Fife's brand of “access journalism” also runs the risk of being used as a political tool. Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to explain why journalists shouldn't get too cozy with the politicians they cover.

Wenn die Sonne knallt, wird's nicht nur für uns heiß. Aber bekommen Bäume eigentlich Sonnenbrand? Und wenn ja: Wie schützen sie sich? In dieser Folge von Peter und der Wald geht's um die cleveren Tricks der Pflanzenwelt: von natürlichen Lichtfiltern über reflektierende Härchen bis hin zu einer Art pflanzlicher Sonnencreme. Und warum manchmal sogar Blätter verbrennen können.

Mark Carney's Liberals are trying to push a whole stack of bills across the finish line–and it's no small stack. Bail reform, hate crimes, gender-based violence, housing, election financing, digital safety, lawful access, and privacy.Is this what an efficient Parliament looks like?

Warum wird man überhaupt Tierarzt – und warum sind so viele hinterher enttäuscht? Diese Frage steht am Anfang eines Gesprächs, das schnell unter die Oberfläche geht. Mein Gast ist Karim Montasser, vielen besser bekannt als „der YouTube-Tierarzt": Tierarzt, Autor, Vortragender – und einer der Menschen, die Naturschutz heute frisch und ohne Behördenstaub erklären. Wir reden darüber, was im Tiermedizin-Studium tatsächlich gelehrt wird (Stichwort: Wurstkurs und Lebensmittelsicherheit), warum es Tierärztinnen und Tierärzte gibt, die mit Herzblut Herzschrittmacher für Hunde einbauen – und am Wochenende auf den Hochsitz steigen. Über diesen Logikbruch, über die „Wir erlösen die Tiere"-Erzählung der Jagd und darüber, warum kranke Tiere fast nie die sind, die vor dem Hochsitz stehen. Außerdem: Wer kümmert sich eigentlich um verletzte Wildtiere – und wer bezahlt das? Warum bei Wolf, Rabenkrähe und Feldhase so oft mit Angst statt mit Wissen argumentiert wird. Und wo eigentlich die Grenze zwischen Tier und Pflanze verläuft. Zum Schluss verrät Karim einiges über sein neues Buch „Artenblind", in dem er Rinder und Schweine begleitet – von der Massentierhaltung bis zum Lebenshof. Ein Gespräch über Verantwortung, Widersprüche und darüber, wie eine neue Generation Tier- und Naturschutz neu denkt.

So it looks like technically Canada is in the midst of a “technical” recession, but, technicalities aside, is a 0.2% drop in growth really that big a deal?​Carney hasn't said much on the subject, just that this is just a “settling-in period” while his policies take effect. On the other hand, Poilievre seems almost gleeful, saying that it's a result of a “banker who can't budget”. Oh, and he's made a whole attack ad dunking on the technicalities of a technical recession with a little help from generative AI.

Zufall? Keineswegs! Hinter den unterschiedlichen Blatträndern steckt möglicherweise mehr, als wir lange gedacht haben. Erste wissenschaftliche Forschungen zeigen spannende Zusammenhänge zwischen Blattform, Klima und den Überlebensstrategien von Bäumen.

Carney just released his new 55-page strategy, “AI for All,” to much fanfare, over $2B in funding commitments, and…very few details on how he's going to accomplish any of it.Canadians were at the forefront of AI's creation, yet we're already falling behind in harnessing this revolutionary technology. But most of us aren't convinced that AI is safe: not for the environment, or the kids, or our personal privacy. Plus, it seems like no one's figured out how to actually make a return on their investment.​So, is Canada investing in a product that's doomed to fail?Host: James NicholsonCredits: Andrea Varsany (Producer), Kallan Lyons (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Douglas SoltysApply to CANADALAND's Audio Journalism Fellowship at labs.canadaland.comGo to canadaland.com/live to find out more about our live show, June 18th at the Halifax Convention Centre!Further reading: Canada's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy: AI for All - Government of Canada Canada's AI strategy won't build necessary trust - The Globe and MailCanada's AI strategy promises to protect citizens.

Last week, Mark Carney announced his big A.I. strategy. Two billion dollars to support creating jobs, providing free A.I. literacy training, and protection against some of the potential harms and risks around A.I., especially with kids. Oh, and he wants to build a world-leading supercomputer. Canada's leading A.I. company is Cohere. Cohere isn't like OpenAI or xAI or Anthropic or any of those other well-known large language model companies. They're not public facing. They don't do image generation or music generation, or tell you what recipe you can make with the leftovers in your fridge. They develop private models for specific companies trained in part on that company's private data. RBC, Bell, Salesforce, just to name a few. Their current valuation sits at $7 billion. Cohere's co-founder is a 33 year-old indie rockstar named Nick Frosst. He joins host Stephen Marche to discuss Canada's A.I. sector, his band, Star Trek, and those students booing A.I. at convocations.Host: Stephen MarcheCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamPhoto: Gabriel HutchinsonAdditional music by: Audio NetworkSponsors: Fizz: Visit https://fizz.ca and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get 40$ off and 10GB of free data.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Warum werden Stadtbäume oft so radikal beschnitten? Können Bäume miteinander verwachsen? Was passiert, wenn Raben oder andere Tierarten überhandnehmen? Und weshalb wird die Douglasie trotz aller Diskussionen weiterhin angepflanzt? Außerdem geht es um Borkenkäfer, alte Wälder, Waldbrände, Bonsai-Wurzeln, den Wolf, kurios aus anderen Bäumen wachsende Bäume und die Frage, ob Baumzucker eigentlich süß schmeckt. Eine abwechslungsreiche Reise durch die faszinierende Welt des Waldes – direkt aus euren Fragen.

This is the Liberal government's second attempt at passing lawful access legislation. Last year, the government pushed Bill C-2, their marquee border security bill that didn't even make it to committee because of the backlash. But now, Bill C-22 is here, and things are feeling a little deja vu. Host Noor Azrieh asks Robert Diab what new powers this bill actually creates.

Zwischen Klimakrise, Artensterben und schlechten Schlagzeilen gehen die positiven Entwicklungen oft unter. Dabei gibt es sie: echte Hoffnung für Wald, Natur und Klima. In dieser Folge von „Peter und der Wald“ sprechen wir über die erstaunliche Intelligenz des Waldbodens, warum natürliche Systeme oft effizienter funktionieren als modernste Technologie und welche politischen Entscheidungen weltweit Mut machen. Vom Montreal-Abkommen über den Schutz von 30 Prozent der Land- und Meeresflächen bis hin zum absehbaren Ende der Kohlekraft – es gibt mehr Gründe für Zuversicht, als viele denken. Außerdem diskutiert Peter mit der Community, wie wir Schutzgebiete sprachlich neu denken können und warum die Zukunft nicht nur von Problemen, sondern vor allem von Lösungen geprägt sein sollte.

Nur jeder fünfte Baum gesund – das meldet der Waldzustandsbericht 2025. Aber was misst er eigentlich? In dieser Kurzfolge nimmt Peter den Bericht direkt aus dem Wald heraus auseinander: warum die Kronenverlichtung in einem Buchen-Mastjahr in die Irre führt, weshalb der Waldboden als entscheidender Faktor ausgeklammert bleibt – und warum am Ende ausgerechnet die Empfehlung steht, noch mehr Bäume zu fällen.

Der spannendere Teil eines Baumes liegt unter der Erde – und ist meist viel größer, als man denkt. In dieser Folge von Peter und der Wald nimmt euch Peter mit in vor seine Haustür und zeigt direkt vor Ort, was unter unseren Füßen passiert: warum Wurzelsysteme deutlich größer sind, als viele denken, wieso ein alter Stumpf noch Jahrzehnte weiterleben kann. Außerdem geht es um das unterirdische Kommunikationsnetz der Bäume – Charles Darwin hat schon vor 150 Jahren von einem „Wurzelhirn" gesprochen – und darum, warum man im eigenen Garten lieber selten und richtig gießen sollte als oft und wenig. Eine Folge für alle, die wissen wollen, was direkt unter ihren Füßen vor sich geht.

In der neuen Folge von Peter und der Wald geht es um Rotbuchen, Blutbuchen und die spannende Frage, warum rote Blätter für einen Baum eigentlich ein Nachteil sein können. Peter erklärt, weshalb manche dieser Bäume fast ständig „hungern“, was hinter der ungewöhnlichen Färbung steckt und warum ihm jedes Mal das Herz blutet, wenn er rote Bäume sieht.

Nate Erskine-Smith lost his bid for nomination for the Ontario Liberals in Scarborough Southwest, putting his plans for leadership in question. He's alleging serious voting irregularities, and that the Ontario Liberal establishment has it in for him. Meanwhile, the Toronto Star publishes a curious Editor's Note, retracting a statement from the PMO that Carney did not in fact endorse Erskine-Smith, despite the video being posted online. Then, a Toronto Star freelance columnist criticizes the Star's reporting, and has her column pulled. What is happening? Barbara Patrocinio of iPolitics joins San Grewal to sort through the chaos.

Elaine Dewar was tough. Contrary. The reporter who wrote an article that brought upon her the wrath of billionaires. It was a piece on the Reichmann family resulting in a $102 million dollar libel case that nearly killed Toronto Life Magazine. She argued against the Bering Strait theory on migration of humans to the Americas. She ruffled feathers with her views on the origins of Covid. Questioned ties between the environmental movement and big business. Those are just a few of the debates she sparked through her tireless investigative works.Elaine Dewar was debated, denounced, debunked. Well, they tried to debunk her. She was sued and she was spied on. She hated, as she put it, "Lying liars who lied." Elaine Dewar, investigative reporter and author of multiple nonfiction books. Born in Saskatchewan in 1948, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last August, and she died weeks later. She died writing. Elaine's publisher Dan Wells and daughter Anna Dewar Gully join us today to talk about her life and that final book, Oblivious, which chronicles the medical segregation of Indigenous people and their history as non-consensual subjects in medical experimentation.Editor's note: Approximately halfway through the podcast, publisher Dan Wells describes Otto Schaefer as a Nazi-trained doctor who conducted experiments on Indigenous people. While not entirely incorrect, this is something of an oversimplification of a nuanced history. Elaine Dewar gives that nuance in the book, and it's available to read in this Toronto Star excerpt.  Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Additional music by Audio NetworkFact checking by Julian AbrahamPhoto: Danielle DewarMore information:Oblivious: Residential Schools, Segregated Hospitals, and the use of Indigenous Peoples as Slaves of Race Science — BiblioasisWith weeks to live, Elaine Dewar finished her most personal book – probing settler Canadians' obliviousness — The Globe & MailBook excerpt: The complicated legacy of Otto Schaefer and Canada's Indigenous people — The Toronto StarCanada's media lawyers wage war on “libel chill” and the power of the purse — National Magazine, Canadian Bar Association#186 End Of The CanLit Hustle — CANADALAND#715 Mommy, Where Does COVID Come From? — CANADALANDSponsors: Fizz: Visit https://fizz.ca and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get 40$ 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.

PM Mark Carney has managed to stitch together a majority in the House of Commons and has approval numbers we haven't seen in forever.

Is Alberta separatism being boosted by foreign “slop”?

Mark Carney is a YouTuber now.Over the weekend the Prime Minister released the first episode of his new YouTube series Forward Guidance. It's a tightly scripted, “intimate” video designed to project calm authority while walking Canadians through an increasingly shaky relationship with the United States. It's part history lesson, part recycled campaign slogans, and highly reminiscent of FDR's fire side chats. What's the goal here? Carney frames Canada's economic relationship with the U.S. as a growing liability and seems to be preparing Canadians for tough times ahead. But is he just shifting the blame?It's crowd-finding time at Canadaland!

Today we're talking about the breakdown of discourse — the culture wars.It's not just in universities, it affects our interactions with everything from the government to schools, workplaces, and more. After over ten years of it, it seems more pointless and degrading than ever. Ric Bienstock is a director of the new two-part CBC documentary series, Speechless. It explores a variety of student protest movements from Evergreen College in 2017 to today's protests against what's happening in Gaza.Her film poses some key questions. How did we get here? What is bringing the worst out of all of us? And can we learn how to speak to each other again?

With peace talks stalled, Trump's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and the ceasefire set to expire next week, the situation in Iran is precarious.Meanwhile, in Canada, the mood in the large Iranian-Canadian diaspora is changing, as the Iranian regime remains in place while the impacts of the war on civilians and infrastructure accumulate. With the geopolitics of the Middle East in flux, could Canada play a larger role in the region going forward? Carney has already signalled renewed economic ties with Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia, but should Canada pursue more diplomatic efforts in the Gulf?

Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals took over Montreal for their convention. But it felt less like a meeting of the minds and more like a lame Coachella. With a Liberal majority already assumed after socially conservative MP Marilyn Gladu crossed the floor last week, host Noor Azrieh was there trying to figure out what it means to be a Liberal right now, and if Mark Carney can manage a fragile mix of MPs with contradictory values.Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Host/Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Background reading:Mark Carney calls for unity at Liberal convention with majority government nearly clinched – Toronto StarCarney's government shifts into new gear with hopes of reaching majority - The Globe and Mail – The Globe and MailCarney tells Liberals that 'unity does not mean uniformity' in closing convention speech – National PostCarney says no time for politics as usual in address to Liberals – Global NewsLiberals courting as many as eight more potential floor-crossers, sources say – The Globe and Mail#172 Why Governments Want to Ban Kids From AI and Social Media – Canadaland Politics Sponsors: Visit fizz.ca to learn more about Fizz mobile and its long list of added-value features.

An English-only statement from Michael Rousseau following the tragic accident at LaGuardia airport sparked a heated debate around bilingualism.

It would be Canada's first true high-speed rail system. On paper, the idea is appealing. But building it is far from straightforward.

Why are media companies like CNN and Substack joining forces with prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi?Both Polymarket and Kalshi have been all over the news and editorial pages: will these markets be a blight of insider trading and foreign interference? The next step on the slippery slope to online gambling addiction? Should we really be able to bet on kidnapping, war, the timing of someone else's death? But thanks to recent partnerships between big media and the prediction market companies, Polymarket and Kalshi are moving from being the subject of headlines to the co-creators of those headlines.Up until last week this was mostly an American game that Canadians could surreptitiously play through VPNs. Then it was announced that Canadian fintech company Wealthsimple, cleared regulatory hurdles to bring the markets to its millions of existing customers, bringing the tech to the masses.Gemma Boothroyd brings us the story.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Gemma Boothroyd (Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio Network More information:Strait of Hormuz tanker traffic won't return to normal for months, Kalshi bettors predict — CNBC "Controversial" predictions trading model could let you profit from real-world outcomes. — Global newsNHL player poll: As sports betting increases, so do harassing messages — and Venmo requests — The AthleticPolymarket gamblers threaten Israeli journalist over missile strike story | Israel | — The GuardianMLB further embraces sports betting in deal with prediction platform Polymarket — The AthleticPolymarket and Dow Jones, Publisher of The Wall Street Journal, Announce Exclusive Prediction Market Partnership — Dow JonesPower Corporation Announces Additional Investment in Wealthsimple — Power CorporationBetting on the Gatorade color?

The NDP is picking a new leader, but can any of the candidates lead them back to relevance? In Manitoba this weekend, the NDP is gathering to name a new leader, but a recent poll suggests that almost half of previous NDP voters don't recognize the names of the candidates. Avi Lewis is the frontrunner, with impressive fundraising and big ideas, but will his playbook translate into national interest in the party?Host: Noor AzriehCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Kallan Lyons (Associate producer and Fact Checking), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Zain Velji Further reading: Almost half of former NDP voters don't recognize names of leadership candidates: poll - CTV NewsA Low-Energy, High-Stakes NDP Leadership Race - Policy MagazineThe NDP has become a party of puppy dogs - The Globe and MailHe comes from a line of old-school NDP leaders — but can Avi Lewis make the party feel new again? - Toronto StarIn a provincial first, Alberta government to partially fund independent school construction | CBC NewsU.S. sanctions Vancouver company for alleged ties to Hezbollah | Globalnews.ca 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.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Over a decade ago journalist Laura Robinson broke this story of alleged abuse against Indigenous children at a school in Burns Lake, B.C.. The man at the centre of the allegations is someone who had risen to international prominence in the sports world. It's been a tale of twists and turns with the RCMP investigating the abuse allegations and declining to press charges. Robinson and the accused took turns to sue each other for defamation. Finally, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal took up the case and just handed down a decision. And despite the fact that over the last decade nearly every major broadcaster in the country has printed and broadcast the name of the alleged abuser, we no longer can. There's now a publication ban in effect.Is this the final chapter in the story?Laura Robinson joins us today.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio Network More information:Human Rights Tribunal orders RCMP to pay Burns Lake day school survivors — CBCCanadian Human Rights Tribunal DecisionDiocese of Prince George facing ten sexual assault lawsuits — CKPG Today‘Afraid to come forward': Lawyer representing sexual assault claimants says many clients are ashamed to tell their story — CKPG TodaySponsors: Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

The scandals of Doug Ford and Danielle Smith continue to make headlines, but it appears to have little impact on them politically. Now, Ford is changing the rules around Freedom of Information to make it harder to hold him accountable. Smith has also been criticized for her government's approach to information requests. This clawback on the access of information is a trend in other governments across the country. How does the public and the media demand accountability when politicians dominate the messaging through their own channels and limit the availability of information?

Former CBC host Travis Dhanraj promised to “pull the curtain back” and reveal what is really happening inside the CBC. On Tuesday, he testified in parliament that he experienced bias, tokenism, and bullying at the public broadcaster.

AI chatbots are encouraging violence, social media is hurting kids, and Ottawa is still trying to figure out how to regulate the harms of the internet after two very public failed attempts. Host Noor Azrieh and Taylor Owen, professor and member of the federal task force on AI and online safety, dig into the federal government's latest Online Harms push.
