To do what no human could possibly do to refute lies and misinformation?Today we talk to Singh about his creation, DOGEAI.

Apparently, the reason you're broke isn't just because of your questionable shopping addiction, it's because Canada has a full-blown productivity crisis… To host Noor Azrieh, that seems dramatic.

Mark Carney is nation building. To do that, he needs to rebuild the Canadian Armed Forces. Between decades of neglect and the forces' own goals by way of bad headlines that's no mean feat.Rebuilding the military, from new recruits to new fighter planes, will take more than promising government money. There's a pitch that needs to be made to the Canadian public and partnerships to be forged with the private sector for investment.So how will the Prime Minister convince the Canadian public and private investors to rebuild the embattled Canadian Armed Forces? Are Carney's nation-building plans the new National Dream or just national daydreaming?Professor Wesley Wark, defence and security analyst and former national security and intelligence advisor to Stephen Harper, joins us today.Host: Bruce Thorson (Reporter, Senior Producer)Caleb Thompson (Mixing & Master), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamTrumpet by: Tristan CapacchioneAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther ReadingWesley Wark Substack Liberals Spending $2B to Boost Military Pay - CBC Sponsors: oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!

Hello to you Michelle, listening in lovely Victoria by the sea, BC, CanadaLand!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a story) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I am a story doula. I believe that stories are alive! They can follow you home, sit at your table, sleep in your bed. I also believe that stories seek us out so that right story comes to us just when we need it.Letters also tell stories. But what if the letters got lost? What happens to the stories they contain? Is there a home for lost letters and their stories? Indeed there is! Japan's Missing Post Office.   Until the 1990s, Awashima Island in Japan's Seto Inland Sea had a flourishing port where sailors stopped to send and receive letters and telegrams. When the port closed the letters kept on coming to the now dead post office. In 2013 the artist Kubota Saya transformed the dead post office into Japan's Missing Post Office, a place where locals and visitors can come, read letters, and send letters to those departed souls who are beyond receiving the letter but not the thought.Japan's Missing Post Office receives 10 to 20 letters without addressees daily from those seeking closure, comfort, or simply a means to express emotions that have no other outlet. The stories in the letters are there to be read, cherished, and shared. There might be one waiting for you.Meanwhile, even if you are not able to visit the Missing Post Office yourself, you can send a letter to join the others. The address and links to articles about Japan's Missing Post Office are in the Episode Notes.Story Prompt: To whom would you like to express yourself in a letter and what would you say? Write that story and tell it out loud!  How to submit a letter to the Missing Post Office and Address:1317-2 AwashimaTakuma-choMitoyo, KagawaThe Missing Post Office: Letters Without Addressees  Japan's Missing Post Office: Where Lost Letters Find a Home        You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

The Canadian Armed Forces has an extremism problem, and that story has fallen out of the news cycle way too quickly. Just recently, four men have been arrested in an alleged violent extremist plot to reclaim land near Quebec City. Plus, the CAF is investigating a private Facebook group where active members shared content deemed “abhorrent” by military leadership.Host Noor Azrieh talks to Andy Knight about his explosive report on white supremacy in the military, and whether extremists are being drawn in, or shaped from within.Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Post Production), Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Andy KnightBackground reading:Report finds deep-rooted white supremacism lurks in Canadian militaryIdeologically motivated violent extremism: four individuals chargedExtremism a threat to Canadian army's trust and credibility, commander says – The Globe and MailCharging a soldier with terrorism may be a first, but Canadian military has history of extremism in its ranks – CBC NewsArmy members' Facebook group under investigation for ‘abhorrent' content – Global NewsSponsors: Article is offering our listeners $50 off your first purchase of $100 or moreTo claim, visit ARTICLE.COM/canadaland and the discount will be automatically applied at checkout.If you value this podcast, Support us!

Canada is now the number one provider of medical assistance in dying in the world per capita. The latest stats, from 2023, show that MAID accounted for almost 5% of all deaths in Canada, or around 15,000 people in that year. And it's only been legal since 2016.MAID was introduced for patients who were experiencing intolerable suffering, irreversible decline and whose death was foreseeable. Within a few years it was expanded to cover people who are not close to death but who are living with chronic illness or disabilities and facing intolerable suffering.Canada's number one spot on the global stage and the expansion of MAID eligibility has attracted the attention of the United Nations. The UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities issued a report that raised questions about access to housing, social support, and healthcare, especially for people with disabilities. It noted that the suffering that qualified these people for the recent expansion to MAiD is suffering that might have been avoided if their needs were met by the Canadian government.Today we're going to meet four people, all with experience on the front lines of the debate, some of whom have been in the room witnessing firsthand death by MAID.Further Reading: Life After Film Katie Engelhart NY Times Article Kerry BowmanUnited Nations Report Credits:Host: Jesse BrownJulian Abraham (Reporter)Caleb Thompson (Post Production), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Lucie LaumonierAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!

When working on one of our episodes of the Politics edition about tariffs, senior producer, Aviva Lessard wondered why there are no Canadian car companies.This question felt like too much of a digression for the episode about tariffs, but in doing some research on it, Sam learned that we actually used to have Canadian car companies going all the way back to Confederation in 1867.So buckle up for the bumpy road that Canada's cars have traveled.

For over 40 years Burtynsky's camera has captured mountain ranges scarred and scooped from mining operations, roiling tar sand tailing ponds, and fractal river systems alight with red industrial sludge. His work is a catalogue of the awesome destructive power at the root of our industrial culture.And yet, Burtynsky's images are beautiful. That contradiction of beautiful destruction has fuelled the praise and criticism around Burtynsky for decades.Ed Burtynsky's is probably the biggest deal this country has every produced in terms of landscape photography. He's won countless awards, he has nine honorary doctorate degrees, he's an Officer of the Order of Canada, his work is collected and displayed in galleries around the world.He joins us to unpack that career and the critique that frames his photography.Credits: Host: Jesse BrownCaleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther ReadingEd Burtynsky WebsiteInside China EV Factory - CNNEarth's Poet of Scale - New YorkerSponsors: Article: Article is offering our listeners $50 off your first purchase of $100 or more.

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.

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.

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.Credits: Host: Jesse BrownCaleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther ReadingPSSD websiteDr. David HealyDr. Caroline PukallSponsors: oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!

Hello to you listening in Victoria, BC, CanadaLand!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a change up) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.My friend Michelle asked me something that made me stop and think. She said, "You always end Story Prompt Friday with 'Write that story!' But you believe in the music of the spoken word - telling stories out loud - why not say that?Michelle knows me well.Here's the thing about our voices - they carry magic that our fingers can't capture. When you write your story, you're having a conversation with yourself. It's a lovely and necessary place to begin. But when you speak your story out loud, something different happens. Something powerful.Your voice carries the rhythm of your heartbeat. It holds the catch in your throat when you remember something tender. It speeds up when you get excited and slows down when the moment matters most. These aren't just sounds - they're the music of your experience.Think about the last time someone told you a story that made you lean in closer. Was it their words alone? Or was it the way their voice dropped to an intimate whisper? The way they paused right before the surprise? The way their whole face lit up when they got to the good part?When you tell your story out loud, you're not just sharing information. You're sharing yourself. Your voice carries your personality, your emotions, your truth in ways that words on a page simply cannot.Here's what I've learned in thirty years of teaching people to tell their stories: most of us have forgotten how powerful our voices are. We text instead of call. We email instead of visit. We've become quiet.Your story needs your voice. It needs the way you say certain words. It needs your pauses, your emphasis, your breath. These aren't extras - they're essential story ingredients.When you stand up and tell your story, you're claiming space in the world. You're saying, "This happened. This matters. I matter." That's not just storytelling - that's courage.And here's the magical surprise: when you tell your story out loud, you hear it differently than when you write it. You discover new meanings. You find the parts that will move your listeners. You learn which moments need more time and which ones can move faster.Your voice teaches you about your own story.Your stories are waiting for the full power of your voice. They're waiting for the music of the spoken word only you can make.So yes, write your stories. But don't stop there. Find someone to tell them to, a loved one, an animal companion, even to yourself as you're walking outside or working in your garden. That's where I practice! What's important is that you have a story to share.Give others that gift. Give yourself that gift. If you need a hand up I can help. Email me at info@quartermoonstoryarts.net to arrange for a no obligation Discovery Call or reach out to me ("Wyzga on Words") on Substack. I'd love the opportunity to work with you!  Story Prompt: Starting now, tell your story out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together. Be sure to stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website, check out the Communication & Story Services, arrange a no-obligation Discovery Call, and stay current with me as "Wyzga on Words" on Substack.Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicALL content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

“ When talking about immigration, you shouldn't use the word sweep because it implies that immigrants are something undesirable to be swept away. Notably, they don't say the same thing about homeless people.” -Alex SkopicProtestor or Protester? Anti-Vaxxer or vaccine hesitant? Riot or Uprising? Every word in the news carries weight, and every choice behind those words shapes how we see the world.Style guides dictate not just grammar and spelling, but power, perspective, and politics. The Associated Press Stylebook has long been considered the journalist's bible, but who gets to write it? And whose voices get left out?Alex Skopic of Current Affairs is an outspoken critic of the AP style guide. He pulls back the curtain on how language is used, who decides what's "neutral," and why seemingly small word choices can have massive consequences.Host: Sam KonnertCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Tony Wang (Executive Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Publisher)Guests: Alex SkopicPhoto: m01229Additional music by Audio NetworkThis show is available exclusively to Canadaland supporters.

There's a secret club in Canada. And trust me, you don't want to be a member. If you're in this club, your first response when you hear news about bombs and death and carnage in the Middle East is not to hop onto Twitter or Facebook to post your political opinion about it. Your first response is to make a long-distance phone call to try to find out if your family and friends over there are still alive. Lebanese Canadians are in this club, Palestinian Canadians are in this club, Jewish Canadians are in this club. And last week, hundreds of thousands of Iranian Canadians joined the club too. Today we talk to two Iranian-Canadians with very different perspectives about what's happened since Israel attacked Iran last week and what it could mean in the future.

Hello to you listening in Victoria, BC, CanadaLand!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a change up) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.My friend Michelle asked me something that made me stop and think. She said, "You always end Story Prompt Friday with 'Write that story!' But you believe in the music of the spoken word - telling stories out loud - why not say that?Michelle knows me well.Here's the thing about our voices - they carry magic that our fingers can't capture. When you write your story, you're having a conversation with yourself. It's a lovely and necessary place to begin. But when you speak your story out loud, something different happens. Something powerful.Your voice carries the rhythm of your heartbeat. It holds the catch in your throat when you remember something tender. It speeds up when you get excited and slows down when the moment matters most. These aren't just sounds - they're the music of your experience.Think about the last time someone told you a story that made you lean in closer. Was it their words alone? Or was it the way their voice dropped to an intimate whisper? The way they paused right before the surprise? The way their whole face lit up when they got to the good part?When you tell your story out loud, you're not just sharing information. You're sharing yourself. Your voice carries your personality, your emotions, your truth in ways that words on a page simply cannot.Here's what I've learned in thirty years of teaching people to tell their stories: most of us have forgotten how powerful our voices are. We text instead of call. We email instead of visit. We've become quiet.Your story needs your voice. It needs the way you say certain words. It needs your pauses, your emphasis, your breath. These aren't extras - they're essential story ingredients.When you stand up and tell your story, you're claiming space in the world. You're saying, "This happened. This matters. I matter." That's not just storytelling - that's courage.And here's the magical surprise: when you tell your story out loud, you hear it differently than when you write it. You discover new meanings. You find the parts that will move your listeners. You learn which moments need more time and which ones can move faster.Your voice teaches you about your own story.Your stories are waiting for the full power of your voice. They're waiting for the music of the spoken word only you can make.So yes, write your stories. But don't stop there. Find someone to tell them to, a loved one, an animal companion, even to yourself as you're walking outside or working in your garden. That's where I practice! What's important is that you have a story to share.Give others that gift. Give yourself that gift. If you need a hand up I can help. Email me at info@quartermoonstoryarts.net to arrange for a no obligation Discovery Call or reach out to me ("Wyzga on Words") on Substack. I'd love the opportunity to work with you!  Story Prompt: Starting now, tell your story out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Not all interviews go according to plan. Even on a show that has over 500 episodes and the host has recorded over a thousand interviews. So what do you do? Air it anyway? What if the content of that episode is questionable, objectionable, or problematic in some other way? Well, sometimes the simplest answer is to just can it.And that's what happened a few weeks ago on the media criticism edition of CANADALAND. For the first time in its history, the show ran without its classic segment “Duly Noted” because host Jesse Brown and co-host Cenk Uygur were eventually just screaming at one another. And more than that, Jesse didn't feel that material could be published. At least, not without the right context.So today, host Sam Konnert brings us through what happened on that day, and then follows up with Jesse and Cenk after the fact, to see what they thought went wrong. And why it's ok to publish it now.Host: Sam KonnertCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Tony Wang (Executive Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Guest: Cenk UygurAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther Reading:U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts — Council on Foreign Relations'All Jewish Americans are questioning their security' after violent antisemitic attacks — BBCCanada, Western allies sanction two Israeli lawmakers for incitement of ‘extremist violence' — The Globe & MailThis show is available exclusively to Canadaland supporters.
