  • 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!

Frequently Asked Questions About CANADALAND

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