CANADALAND

After months of national coverage, we still don't really know.Today we're going to hear from a senior journalist, about his skepticism regarding Foreign Interference. We're going to hear an editorial, an opinion - but a reported opinion and an informed one. Bruce Livesey knows about which he speaks - he knows about the specific newsrooms of which he speaks, because he used to work for both of them. He was an investigative reporter for both of the news organizations that have been reporting leaked CSIS documents - The Globe and Mail and Global News.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Bruce Livesey (Additional Reporting), Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Sponsors: Douglas, Squarespace, Athletic GreensAdditional music by Audio NetworkIf you value this podcast, support us!

What does Toronto’s response to the refugee crisis actually look like on the ground? Just across the street from the Canadaland office, a crisis unfolded: dozens of asylum seekers camping out as they were unable to get space in city shelters. Some had been there for weeks. After the federal government and the city both pledged that more support would be given to the asylum seekers, many were still there -  being helped by a tenuous system of volunteers, donated goods, religious outreach and good samaritans.Join reporter Cherise Seucharan and Editor in Chief Karyn Pugliese as they follow asylum seekers at 129 Peter Street as they search for a place to spend the night. Credits: Jesse Brown, Host & Publisher, Cherise Seucharan, Reporter, Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading:On Peter Street, a community steps up for asylum seekers abandoned to sleep on the sidewalk, Toronto StarCrossing the Darien Gap, CFRMayor Olivia Chow outlines next steps for housing asylum seekers in Toronto, CBCSponsors: Squarespace, Athletic Greens, PelotonIf you value this podcast, support us!
