The race to succeed Jagmeet Singh has begun, but most of the NDP's big names are steering clear. Post-election, vibes within the party have been bleak, mired with handwringing, infighting, and no clear guiding vision. One thing everyone seems to agree on is that any new leader needs to build a big tent. Bring back the labour vote. With Trump playing tariff bingo, there's a real opportunity to speak — and to listen — to workers. Are the leadership hopefuls ready to take it?Taylor Noakes joins Jesse Brown to discuss.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Jules Bugiel (Producer), Lucie Laumonier (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), tom sayers (Audio Editor), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Taylor NoakesFurther reading on our website.Canadaland Politics is recording a LIVE podcast and Q&A from Calgary on September 22nd, 2025 at 7:30PM MT hosted by Mount Royal University.

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

“When Genocide Wasn't News” is a recently released Canadian book that documents major Canadian news organisations' reporting on Gaza. The book claims the media has “whitewashed Israeli violence, dehumanised Palestinians and smeared a growing protest movement.” Gabriela Perdomo Páez, Assistant Professor of journalism at Mount Royal University, says journalists who support peace efforts can easily be accused of being “biased” in favour of those promoting peace.  For International Desk, Wire Host Caeden spoke to Perdomo Páez about Canadian news coverage of Gaza.

The Carney government has pledged to balance federal operational spending to get a handle on the national debt and deficit. Carney says this can be done by 'capping' the public service. But a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives warns there could be deep service cuts coming. Guest host Tim Powers speaks with report author David MacDonald. On todays show: The heads of Canada's big auto makers met with Prime Minister Carney on Wednesday to discuss the impacts of the trade war on the sector. Tim speaks with Brian Kingston, President and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, about the meeting. Duane Bratt, a Political Scientist at Mount Royal University, explains how two former UCP MLAs want to revive the old Alberta PC Party. The Honourable Lloyd Axworthy had some strong words for Canada's Prime Minister following this month's NATO summit. He explains why he's being so critical of Carney's approach to dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump. The Daily Debrief Panel with Laura Stone, Robert Benzie, and Mike Le Couteur. Jack Jedwab, President of the Association for Canadian Studies, joins the show to discuss their latest round of polling, and how Canadians are feeling about America this July 4th.

The results of Alberta's three byelections delivered a largely status quo outcome, but with some notable undercurrents. In Edmonton-Strathcona, NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi secured a decisive win, surpassing former leader Rachel Notley's vote share with 82 per cent. It marks his long-awaited entry into the legislature. The NDP also held Edmonton-Ellerslie, though with a slimmer margin — nearly 11 points down from 2023. That erosion raises questions about the party's grip on “Fortress Edmonton,” particularly as polls suggest the UCP is gaining ground in the capital.In Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills, the UCP kept the rural stronghold but lost 15 points in vote share. The Republican Party of Alberta's Cam Davies earned nearly 18 per cent — the strongest separatist showing in years. Still, Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt called the result underwhelming, noting it fell short of the one-third benchmark that would signal serious momentum. He called it a missed opportunity for Alberta's separatist movement, which tends to rise and recede depending on leadership and political climate.In this episode of West of Centre Short, Bratt argues the latest separatist push is less grassroots than previous waves and more top-down — driven in part by Premier Danielle Smith and her inner circle. While Smith says she supports a united Canada, critics point to her past reliance on the Sovereignty Act, efforts to create a provincial pension plan and police force, and paving the way for a potential independence referendum in 2026 as signs of a deeper, ambiguous agenda.Host: Rob Brown | Producer & editor: Falice Chin | Guest: Duane Bratt

It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless. We've all been taught how to be courageous when we face physical threats but when it comes to matters of the heart and soul we are often left to learn, "the hard way."As a school teacher for over 30+ years, struggling with these very issues, my doctor suggested anti-anxiety medication but that didn't resonate with me so I sought the healing arts. I expanding my teaching skills and became a yoga, meditation, mindfulness, reiki and sound healer to step into my power and own my impact. A Call for Love will teach you how to find the courage to hold space for your fears and tears. To learn how to love and respect yourself and others more deeply. My mission is to guide you on your journey. I believe we can help transform the world around us by choosing love. If you don't love yourself, how can you love anyone else? Join a call for love.
