  • Best endorsement is the targeted fire they get from the fringe extremists

    Not many sources left to get cool headed discussion and facts, so I greatly value this podcast for bringing conversation and discussion you could not find anywhere. Between the online conspiracy theorists and the Putin trolls and the promoters of global terrorism who run amok on many platforms this podcasts remains one of the best coverages of politics and current events in Canada.

  • humiliating downfall

    jesse has become the sloppy bigoted hack he used to expose. no wonder his former audience and most fervent supporters have abandoned him. though he jesse has the insight to “fire himself,” he refuses to understand how canadalnad is destined to fail because anything jesse is involved with will not be trusted from the very journalistic standard of integrity that he used to promote. jesse, you’ve embarrassed yourself and your supporters.

  • Clickbait ad a 20 min pod

    Just hot takes and contrarianism for contrarianism’s sake. And I usually love being contrary! I used to find this show more thoughtful but now it’s just a mish mash of alt vibe based takes and some carelessness - it feels dangerous and I’d rather a new Canadian indie voice come along

  • Wish it didn’t happen like this..

    I was a supporter for years. Things have certainly changed… it’s sad..

    I hope the best for the team and I’m sure things will change.

    Unfortunately struggle so much listening to episodes. Is this just a personal op-ed project? Or a news channel?

  • I feel so torn

    It is hard to get news about Canada in a modern way. Canada land offered that and I listened daily but I think Jesse has become a liability to the show and the entire operation. Perhaps he needs to become an opinion piece contributor or take on a new role entirely because he no longer is able to practice journalism in an unbiased way. I’ve pretty much stopped listening and it’s a shame. I hope Jesse considers removing himself from coverage of issues he is too close to remain unbiased about.

How Doug Ford Funneled Millions to the Biggest News Orgs (and Shut Out the Rest)
Q: Okay, Gemma, what can you tell me about how much money those big four players got out of this deal?
Boothroyd says the LCBO spent around $2 million from September 2024 to December 2025, largely with major publishers. Ontario Cannabis likely spent roughly $1.5 million, though the exact figures and allocations were not fully disclosed.
How Doug Ford Funneled Millions to the Biggest News Orgs (and Shut Out the Rest)
Q: So of all the eligible publishers here, all of the publishers that can make money off of this directive, there's about 230 of them across Ontario.
Boothroyd explains that although roughly 230 publishers were eligible, large media groups owned many of the outlets and captured most of the directive's spending. Smaller publishers generally received little or no money.
"I'm Not Concerned" - Danielle Smith on the Alberta Separatist Referendum
Q: If Albertans vote to pursue a binding separation referendum, would you stay on as premier and lead that process?
She says she would honor the result and, if asked, would lead the next steps within the constitutional framework, including the Clarity Act and federal approval processes.
"I'm Not Concerned" - Danielle Smith on the Alberta Separatist Referendum
Q: Do you feel offended or blindsided by the fact that they went there kind of on behalf of Alberta to give up some control in the process?
The Premier stresses the need for proper process and Indigenous consultation, arguing that any engagement should involve duly elected representatives and respect constitutional procedures.
The Hot New Journalist Who Was Actually AI
Q: What sparked the investigation into Daniel Robson and his bylines across Canadian outlets?
Editors and editors-in-chief began questioning the authenticity of Robson's identity after Turkish reporting and subsequent internal scrutiny revealed discrepancies, leading to withdrawals of Robson's articles and investigations into the veracity of his credentials.
