  • What is happening here? Total biased reporting

    The new season is a poor attempt to convince people that Jewish people are the true victims of October 7th and the genocide in Gaza. Boooooo 100% do not recommend

  • Don’t trust the bad reviews!

    I’ve been a subscriber for many years, and Canadaland does what few outlets dare to do: provoke uncomfortable conversations. It consistently challenges my thinking rather than serving up safe, affirming content. Jesse has taken significant heat from far-left listeners for calling out antisemitism, and when I see reviews accusing him of being “pro-genocide” or a “denier,” it reads more like algorithm-driven outrage than good-faith critique. While Jesse is direct and unapologetic, he has always be... more

  • Wanted to like

    I really wanted to like Canadaland - we need more independent media! However, the both-siding, regurgitation of political talking points without fact checking and honestly the hosts entire smug personality have made this show unlistenable.

  • I appreciate this show…. But

    I really appreciate a show that is Canadian centric. And centrist. BUT. I am so over both sidesing. If person 1 horrifically harms person 2. Part of the story might be why and the systemic causes. But THE storm is the harm caused. We need to stop validating and excusing hateful behaviour. And I think that in the effort to be balanced, this show does just that.
