  • I’m out

    Wow. I’m so disappointed. Antizionism and antisemitism are not the same thing. At all. I hope someday soon Jesse Brown can overcome his irrational and emotional views on this. Just can’t bring myself to listen to Canadaland any more.

  • Good journalism and often fun and self deprecating

    I have been listening to Canadaland for years but only started being a regular listener and subscriber recently. Jesse is a legend (although sometimes a bit much) and I like Noor and most of the other hosts, even though I don’t always agree with the angles presented. Overall, good audio journalism. Keep it up, guys!

    I loved this show, but selective reading lost me. Bye friends, all the best in finding your way home.

  • Jessie has lost it

    Media criticism has given way to misinformation and cozying up to right wing media personalities like Ben Shapiro. At this point, if someone farts and a Jewish person happens to smell it, Jessie will declare it an incident of Jew hatred.

    I’m unsubscribing now, because I’m tired of hearing genocide apologia.

  • Great Show!

    Pretty good show. A good listen on my way to work or while walking the dog. The Thunder Bay series was excellent 👏🏻. I appreciate the neutrality. I don’t always agree with the views or takes of some of the hosts and guests but I don’t want to be in an echo chamber and always hear people talk about things that I already agree with. Keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mexico is Giving Trump What he Wants. Is it Working?
Q: Is Mexico beating Canada in the trade war?
David Agren explains that while Mexico has secured several concessions and kept pace with tariff threats, the overall deal remains challenging, with Mexico arguably benefiting from stronger narrative control and a more centralized political system, but not achieving a clear, superior long-term trade advantage over Canada.
A Palestinian Activist on What's Wrong With the Pro-Palestine Movement
Q: What's your vision for a realistic path to a future Palestine and Gaza?
Ahmed outlines a pragmatic, phased approach: retire the armed resistance narrative, pursue self-governance with regional cooperation (Israel, Egypt, Gulf states), build institutions, and link Gaza's recovery to broader peace efforts, ensuring aid translates into durable development rather than further corruption or dependency.
A Palestinian Activist on What's Wrong With the Pro-Palestine Movement
Q: How did Hamas gain legitimacy, and what changed after October 7th?
Hamas gained traction by promising law and order and by presenting themselves as an alternative to a corrupt Palestinian Authority, but the events of October 7th exposed its brutality and worsened regional dynamics, contributing to disillusionment among many Gazans and shifting conversation toward accountability.
A Palestinian Activist on What's Wrong With the Pro-Palestine Movement
Q: What is your sense of where ordinary Gazans stand emotionally and politically right now?
Ahmed explains that despite initial appearances, Gazans are not monolithic; while some opposed Hamas early on and there is significant disapproval of Hamas, public opinion is shaped by fear, repression, and the long history of governance failures, leading to a nuanced landscape rather than clear allegiance.
Minority vs Minority Racism is Exploding
Q: What explains the heightened visibility of racism and xenophobia in Canada today?
The guests suggest a combination of demographic shifts, media dynamics, political polarization, and the influence of organized far-right groups, along with a historical pattern of policing and systemic inequities that amplify these tensions.
