The Conservatives are sticking to their message. Everyone's walking a careful line — and that's changing the way the campaign feels on the ground.They also touch on the recent leaders' debate: what worked, what didn't, and how each leader showed up. Ling has thoughts on Mark Carney's strategy, Pierre Poilievre's performance, and what the entire spectacle tells us about voter sentiment heading into the final stretch. The two also explore Canadian housing policy, debate stage dynamics, and the often awkward role of the Debate Commission in the new media age.This episode is also brought to you by the Métis Nation of Ontario. It's 1833 in Penetanguishene, five years since the Métis were forced to relocate from their home on Drummond Island. Métis families had petitioned for a church. They wanted ceremony and community. With their own hands, they raised St. Ann's — a cedar log church where baptisms, marriages, and kinship ties would bind the Métis community across the generations. But they had no priest. So, they began to write letter after letter, advocating for the Métis community. Eventually, a priest arrived, beginning to formally record long-existing relationships within the Métis community, and generations of Métis families' stories to come. Two hundred years later, St. Ann's Church is now built of stone, but the Métis community in Penetanguishene will never forget its humble origins, which rallied their community in the wake of their 1828 relocation.Historic Métis communities in Ontario are real. They are resilient. And they played an important part in building Canada. Learn more at OntarioMetisFacts.com.Later in the episode, Jen is joined by Mike Colledge from Ipsos for the weekly update on the issues that are motivating the electorate as we head into the home stretch of this election. Mike looks into Ipsos's archive of data and gives Jen (and the listeners) a read on what the numbers are showing — and why tone, not just policy, might decide this election.As always, like and subscribe at ReadTheLine.ca.

It used to be a social no-no, but Canadians now seem to find themselves diving head-first in political engagement, dialogue, and awareness, all in the wake of what's perceived to be one of the most critical federal elections of our lifetime. Just three months ago, however, Canadians were at odds with each other over who they wanted the face of their country to be, what name they wanted the flag to be associated with, and the type of Canada they wanted moving forward. How do we navigate this new patriotic momentum while still meeting the moment on deciding what's best for our future according to the morals we hold so close to ourselves? How do we turn to our neighbours, family, loved ones to push for a stronger Canada all while seeking out different qualities in who we want and need out of a leader? Host Maria Kestane speaks to Justin Ling, journalist and author of the Chaos Campaign newsletter, to discuss what's driving Canadians to the ballot box and how we're engaging in a refined era of political polarization amid threats to our sovereignty and personal safety. You can check out Justin's newsletter here: https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/s/chaos-campaign. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Conservative Party of Canada leader, Pierre Poilievre, is making his position on foreign aid clear. He has reiterated his promise to cut spending on foreign aid, saying he is not the politician who is going to be sending money around the world in one interview this week. That position and political move would have some consequences, though, says Canadian investigative journalist and author, Justin Ling, who joins Tamara Cherry to discuss this stance by Poilievre.

Jim has a reno predicament, needs your advice Toronto could be getting robotic self-cleaning washrooms. Would you pay to use a nice washroom? Justin Ling - contributing columnist for the Toronto Star and a freelance investigative journalist based in Montreal on his new column titled "If Pierre Poilievre can’t handle the media, what else will he avoid confronting? " Does Your Job Require a High Tolerance for Being Yelled At?

A few months ago, the Canadian Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, was cruising toward a massive victory in the upcoming Canadian elections, with most polls showing him holding a 20-point lead over his Liberal Party opponent. But what a difference an American election makes! Since Trump's musings about annexing Canada and his sweeping trade war against the country, polls have shifted decisively in favor of the Liberal Party, now led by Prime Minister Mark Carney. It seems Canadians are poised to soundly reject the so-called “Maple MAGA.” With Canadian elections just a few weeks away on April 28th, I knew I wanted to speak with one of my favo(u)rite explainers of all things Canada: journalist Justin Ling. He's written for numerous outlets, created some amazing podcasts, and is the author of the Bug-Eyed and Shameless newsletter here on Substack. We spoke one day after Trump's latest global tariff announcements, which hit Canada hard. In our conversation, Justin explains the current state of Canadian politics in the Trump era, and more broadly, how Trump's moves against Canada are rallying Canadians in unexpected ways—sparking a surge of national pride and solidarity in defiance of the threat from their powerful neighbor to the south. It's a fascinating conversation that reveals how Trump's bluster is reshaping Canadian politics in real time—and why this moment might mark a turning point for Canada's political identity.

Journalists have flocked to Substack. Abandoning legacy titles to pursue self-puslishing freedom at the occasionally controversial app. Substack has incubated Bari Weiss's Free Press and Andrew Sullivan's The Weekly Dish. Here in Canada, a lot of names that Canadaland listeners may be familiar with are thriving on Substack: Terry Glavin, Sam Cooper, Justin Ling, Jen Gerson and Paul Wells to name a few..Valued at 650 million dollars and lauded as a threat to Twitter. It is a rare sign of hope and innovation and a working revenue model in a very desolate media landscape. And all of that has come with the usual share of controversies.Top of that list was their “Nazi problem.” They garnered headlines and debates about freedom of expression when it was revealed that there were, yes, Nazi Substacks charging money. And the parent company, apparently taking their cut of those profits.

MEDICAL RECORD: WHAT A NEW STUDY TELLS US ABOUT THE USE OF AI IN TREATING HOSPITAL PATIENTS Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Alisa Naiman, a family doctor in Toronto, Dr. Amol Verma, Clinician-Scientist at St. Michael's Hospital and Temerty Professor of AI Research and Education in Medicine at the University of Toronto, and Dr. Aaron Schimmer, the Director of Research at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre as well as a staff physician and a senior scientist. Today we discuss a groundbreaking study co-authored by Dr. Amol Verma on the use of AI and how it has contributed to a 26 percent reduction in unexpected deaths for patients being treated in hospital. And, should we be moving away from the Body Mass Index and instead use the Body Roundness Index (also known as BRI)? THE DEBATE AROUND THE FILM "RUSSIANS AT WAR" WHICH SPARKED CONTROVERSY AT THIS YEAR'S TIFF Libby Znaimer is now joined by freelance journalist Justin Ling and Chris Alexander, Canada's former ambassador to Afghanistan and Minister of Immigration under former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. "Russians at War" was going to premiere at TIFF this year but was cancelled amid public backlash and protest. The festival said they suspended the screenings of the film in response to "significant threats". But this week, the film was back on. Yesterday's screening was greeted by another demonstration by members of the Ukrainian community and supporters claiming that this was just a piece of Russian propaganda. Was this censorship or an attempt to fend off Russian propaganda from infiltrating us and influencing our elections and our people? PIERRE POILIEVRE EXPECTED TO INTRODUCE NON- CONFIDENCE MOTION NEXT WEEK Libby Znaimer is joined by Bob Richardson, a Public Affairs Consultant, and Jason Lietaer, a Conservative Strategist and President of Enterprise. Pierre Poilievre is set to introduce a non-confidence motion next week. The question is, can the Conservatives get the support they need from the Bloc Québécois and NDP? And, if they fail, what can we expect from the Conservatives in future in terms of trying to get a vote of non-confidence? Meanwhile, did you see the video of NDP leader Jagmeet Singh confronting protestors on Parliament Hill? Did he do a good job of responding to the situation?

The U.S. Department of Justice has accused Tenet Media of being financed and influenced by a state-backed Russian news network.Two Russian employees of RT – the state broadcaster – are alleged of spending $10-million to secretly pay the company to spread pro-Russia propaganda.According to the indictment, the company never made it clear to its crew of commentators, some of whom are Canadian, about its ties to RT and the Russian government. Freelance reporter Justin Ling is here to explain what was in the indictment and what it says about Russian influence in the upcoming U.S. election.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

It's been a year since Meta banned Canadian news on platforms including Facebook and Instagram, punching a significant hole in how audiences engage with outlets online.  At the same time, the continued descent of the outlets' revenues has meant mass layoffs and closures, and the rise of news deserts around the country. Today, two journalists weigh in on whether Ottawa should further intervene and increase its financial support of news media, or whether it should heed worries about conflicts of interest and let hemorrhaging outlets fail. Justin Ling is a contributing columnist for the Toronto Star and the author of Bug-eyed and Shameless on Substack. Paul Wells is also on Substack, and spent decades writing for publications including Macleans and the National Post.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Justin Ling has kind of had it. While the veteran political journalist has endless patience for people in power trying to do the right thing, he can't stand when a government refuses to see reality. So when Canada's Heritage Minister reacted with surprise to the suggestion that, despite everything her government's done for it, the country's news media is still worse off than ever – well, that's enough to radicalize a fella.On this week's show, Karyn and Jonathan talk to Justin about his dispiriting interview with Pascale St-Onge, why he believes the Trudeau government's efforts to save the media have been across-the-board failures, and what it would take to actually turn things around for this industry before it finally collapses and takes Canada's democracy down with it.Correction: in an earlier version of this podcast it was stated 88 per cent of Canadians did not know Meta had wiped news from its platforms, this has been corrected. The number is 78 per cent.Host: Karyn PuglieseGuest: Justin LingCredits: Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Cherise Seucharan (Reporter), max collins (Production Manager)Further reading on our websiteSponsors: 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.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson thank the listeners, viewers and sponsors for the new equipment that they're using, which will hopefully punch this podcast up to ever-greater heights. (Once they figure out how to use it!) They also talk about the by-election in St. Paul's. Jen doesn't think the Liberals have enough time to replace Justin Trudeau. Matt says he should feel honour-bound to remain and absorb a defeat, leaving the Liberals better off to fight the next election. They both enjoyed a news report from Justin Ling in the Toronto Star. Note to federal cabinet ministers: don't have sensitive conversations in public places, because a reporter might literally be sitting next to you listening to everything.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Unsmoke Canada.

When the first group of students parked up at Columbia University, it sparked a movement that has gripped schools across the world. These encampment protests have now gripped universities across Canada- at U of T, U UOttawa, McMaster, U of C, McGill, U of A, UBC, and Dalhousie. The encampments have sparked a debate on the legality and ethics of protests in shared spaces. We dive into the legality of the protests and we also ask why the police response looked so different across the country.To find out, Mattea Roach asked journalist Justin Ling, professor Roberta Lexier and professor James Turk. We also speak with a professor in an exclusive interview who witnessed the police action against protesters at an encampment at the University of Calgary.

All labour exists on a spectrum, ranging from enslavement at one pole, to fully, freely given on the other.And, in Canada, at the most extreme end of that spectrum are prison labourers. Incarcerated people have few rights and fewer options when it comes to their working lives.If we want to truly understand our criminal justice system and Canadian labour, we need to examine how prisoners work.Featured in this episode: Jordan House, Asaf RashidTo learn more:Solidarity Beyond Bars: Unionizing Prison Labour by Jordan House & Asaf Rashid“Prison breaking-point: Canada's jail system is in crisis, and that affects all of us” by Justin Ling in The Globe and Mail“The case for a prisoners' union” in Briarpatch by Jordan House & Asaf RashidCredits: Arshy Mann (Host and Producer), Jordan Cornish (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief) Additional music from Audio NetworkSponsors: Douglas For a limited time, get 6 months of exclusive supporter benefits for just $2/month.

As pro-Palestinian encampments pop up across Canadian campuses this week, protesting against university ties to Israel and threatening to keep their tents pitched until the war in Gaza ends, it helps to understand the broader context of how this all began. And if you ask the Columbia University students at ground zero of this movement how they feel about the media circus they've created, they'll tell you frankly: they didn't ask for it. That's what many of them told Justin Ling, a Montreal-based freelance reporter who visited the New York university to see the original tent city firsthand. But that deflection belies an inescapable paradox. Maybe they didn't want all this media attention, but they've made themselves the main characters of this story, shifting the focus from a faraway foreign war to North America's culture wars. Now the movement has snowballed into something far greater. Ling joins Bonjour Chai to explain what he saw, share his takeaways and debate with the hosts about the merits of student activism—and whether it should be allowed at all.

Ottawa's going to be hearing a whole lot more from Alberta. The province and the feds aren't even close on the details around getting Alberta's electricity grid to Net Zero, including a 15 year discrepancy on the timeline. And that's not all. The October 30th Throne Speech gives us a reasonably good idea of how the Smith government plans to get Alberta well positioned to manage a forecasted population of 10 million people (double current numbers) by 2050.  3:10 | Ryan runs through the Speech from the Throne, and hones in on what most jumped out at him.   25:06 | Yaniv Yaakov's family's been missing since October 7, when his brother, his brother's girlfriend, and his two nephews were kidnapped from the Nir Oz kibbutz. He tells us how he's coping, and what he wants the world to know. 41:50 | What can Israel (and everybody else) learn from the American invasion of Iraq? How do those lessons apply to the fight against Hamas? "Bug-Eyed and Shameless" journalist Justin Ling takes us into his feature piece "You Can't Bomb Your Way To Safety."

Justin Trudeau dropped a bombshell before Parliament last week when he accused the government of India of assassinating a Canadian citizen on Candian soil. Hardeep Singh Nijaar was a Sikh dissident living in British Columbia when he was gunned down by assailants outside his place of worship. Nijaar had long agitated for an independent Sikh state apparently putting him in the crosshairs of Narendra Modi's government.  The idea that a democracy like India would carry out a hit on North American soil is a major development -- and one that will complicate American foreign policy as well. Joining me to discuss this situation is Justin Ling, a Candian journalist and author of the Bug Eyed and Shameless Substack. We kick off discussing what we know thus far about these accusations and then have a longer conversation about what this means for Canadian diplomacy and American foreign policy going forward.  Get the newsletter  Listen on Spotify?

Were the ‘Freedom Convoy' protests in Ottawa a “peaceful protest against a tyrannical ruler,” or a bunch of people driven by “lies and misinformation, disturbing the peace of everyone, and being bigoted”? These two conflicting perspectives help illustrate Canadian polarization in a new report from the Public Policy Forum, authored by journalist Justin Ling, titled ‘Far and Wider: The Rise of Polarization in Canada.' Ling joins guest host Tamara Khandaker to discuss political polarization in Canada, what's driving it, and how it's impacting young Canadians.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail. Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! If you're a regular listener here, you'll know that we've been exploring the future of media and news on the pod, these last number of weeks. We've had a couple of fantastic panels. The first was Elly Alboim and Bill Fox, who we're referring to around here as “The Interns.” The second, “The State of Canadian News and Journalism," just two weeks ago, was with Paul Wells, Joyce Napier and Andrew Coyne. So today, we're completing the set.We've gathered a third panel – Jesse Brown, Justin Ling and Michael Spitale – because I want to specifically explore the new media landscape … what it is, exactly … what it can do, what gaps it fills … and the power it wields that traditional media no longer does.Jesse Brown is a well-known Canadian journalist, media personality, and new media entrepreneur. Among a long list of accomplishments, in 2013, he founded the “Canadaland podcast, grew it into a full-fledged media company and one of the most popular podcasts in the country.Justin Ling is an award winning, freelance investigative journalist who specializes in privacy and security issues, foreign policy, politics, law, media and where all those things intersect. His Substack is “Bug-eyed and Shameless – dispatches from the fringes of the information war.”I got to know Michael Spitale working for Premier Wynne in 2013. He became the youngest ever President of the Ontario Liberal Party. He's currently the public affairs director for a well-known labour union. But he's here today, because he's a co-founder of Air Quotes Media — together with Jody Colero, Jill Engelman, David Rosenberg and myself — and one of the creators of “The Herle Burly” and “Curse of Politics” podcasts.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland touted her green bona fides by telling Canadians she doesn't have a car because she bikes, walks or takes the subway everywhere. Except as a cabinet minister, Freeland has a chauffeured limo, and she regularly flies back and forth between Toronto and Ottawa – often multiple times per week. Even so, she's accused those who point this out of “misinformation.” Also, is political polarization worse than ever? A new report from the Public Policy Forum, written by freelance journalist Justin Ling, says political polarization has been on the rise for years, but this has hastened since the onset of the pandemic. The report focuses considerably on discourse around vaccination in Canada and the Freedom Convoy, which the report finds made Canada an “exporter of anti-elite sentiment” around the world. Report author Justin Ling joins True North's Andrew Lawton live to discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week we have guest hosts filling in for Jordan Health-Rawlings. Today, we have Justin Ling interviewing Erin O'Toole.Like many places around the world, politics has become more polarized. It seems that long gone are the days of trying to pander to the majority of voters, and now some parties have gone to their most extreme constituents for support.Probably the best example of this was the election of Pierre Poilievre as the new Conservative Party leader. No matter how you feel about Poilievre, there's little doubt that he's a sign of a new type of political polarization happening inside Canada.Last month, former Conservative Parter leader Erin O'Toole resigned his seat in the House of Commons and delivered an emotional goodbye to his colleagues. He made an appeal to everybody in politics to make Ottawa less combative, less toxic, and less polarized.So what exactly is wrong with Ottawa these days? What's going on behind the scenes? And can we fix it?GUEST HOST: Justin Ling, freelance investigative journalistGUEST: Erin O'Toole, former leader of the Conservative Party
