  • Far to biased

    I can’t listen anymore. Journalism is supposed to be unbiased, and while I know that it never is, this is just to blatantly “here’s our opinion and it’s the only right opinion”.

  • Narrative over balance

    To me, it often feels more focused on advancing its own narrative than presenting a balanced view.

  • Canada, take the log out of your eye

    Jesse Brown said it best himself, “I think that Canada has tendency to take a big moral stands that we can’t necessarily back up.” Um yeah. Wake up up there! You guys were stealing and imprisoning Native children for their entire lives… up until 1997!! 1997!!!! I am 43 years old, so had I been a native person born in Canada, I could have spent my entire childhood and youth separated from my family, because of your loving and compassionate Canadian government.

    As usual, they grapple with how to ... more

  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

British Columbia is Burning
Q: Should CBC include boilerplate linking wildfires to climate change in every wildfire story?
Yes, it's important for context, but it should be done in a way that informs without pandering to a political stance and balances factual reporting with public awareness.
British Columbia is Burning
Q: Arno, we've been talking about where discussion of climate change fits into the reporting around wildfires. Where do you think the balance should be in mainstream coverage?
There should be clear acknowledgement of climate change as a material backdrop to wildfires, but journalism should also avoid over-dramatizing beyond what data supports, while still offering practical guidance and media literacy.
Kory Teneycke on Why he Called Poilievre a P***y
Q: What is going on with this Jamaica story, Kory?
Kory explains it as opposition research, notes there wasn't a lot to discuss about the Jamaica trip beyond typical campaign opportunism, and downplays direct ties to the broader leadership narrative.
How Canada Wins at Defence
Q: What is the role of the Arctic and European security in Canada's strategy?
Prioritize the Arctic as a domain for asymmetric conflict and ensure active participation in European security mechanisms to strengthen interoperability and shared defense capabilities.
How Canada Wins at Defence
Q: How can Canada harness Ukraine-style innovation without duplicating risks?
Build combat hubs and field-embedded teams where military planning and product development operate in proximity, allowing rapid iteration and field-informed requirements while maintaining stronger procurement processes that still encourage experimentation.

Frequently Asked Questions About CANADALAND

What is CANADALAND about and what kind of topics does it cover?
