Avec May Chiu (coordinatrice de la Table ronde du Quartier chinois de Montréal et membre de l’Association des Chinois progressistes du Québec), Emilie se penche sur l’impact de l’actualité des derniers mois sur la communauté chinoise du Canada. Quels sont les impacts sur le terrain des enquêtes journalistiques du printemps sur l’ingérence de Beijing au pays ? La diversité des points de vue chez les Canadiens d’origine chinoise a-t-elle sa place dans les médias ? Comment protéger la démocratie canadienne contre l’ingérence étrangère sans stigmatiser toute une diaspora ?With May Chiu (coordinator of the Montreal Chinatown Roundtable and member of the Association of Progressive Chinese Quebeckers), Emilie examines the impact of the news of recent months on the Chinese community in Canada. What are the impacts on the ground of last spring's journalistic investigations into Beijing's interference in the country? Does the diversity of views among Chinese Canadians have a place in the media? How can we protect Canadian democracy against foreign interference without stigmatizing an entire diaspora?Animation: Emilie NicolasGénérique: Tristan Capacchione (Producteur)Coanimation: Mei ChiuPour en savoir plus :Création d’un registre des agents étrangers Le gouvernement Trudeau ira de l’avant — La PresseÉvénement historique national de l’exclusion des immigrants chinois de 1923 à 1947Commanditaires : Athletic Greens, Semer le douteSi vous appréciez ce podcast, soutenez-nous !

It was in the winter of 2021 that the world first became aware of a mounting number of patients being seen in New Brunswick with unusual neurological symptoms. A year later, the Government of New Brunswick released a report dismissing the entire issue, claiming there was never a cluster of patients to begin with.CANADALAND has obtained thousands and thousands of pages of internal documents that take us behind the scenes of that investigation that once caught the attention of the nation, before being dropped like a hot potato. In this update to the story Dr. Marrero reveals new theories on the disease’s origins and the fact that his caseload has quadrupled to over 200 since our last report on the story.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Sarah Lawrynuik (Reporter), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor)Further reading:Canadian government urged to test sick patients for herbicide – The Guardian, Mar. 1, 2023Whistleblower warns baffling illness affects growing number of young adults in Canadian province — The Guardian, Jan. 2, 2022Official investigation into New Brunswick’s mysterious brain disorder finds no new condition — The Washington Post, Feb. 24, 2022Sponsors: Squarespace, Peloton, Athletic Greens, Better HelpIf you value this podcast, Support us!

In the mid-2010s, BuzzFeed News seemed like the most exciting place in media: an almost cloyingly whimsical carnival of abundance where journalists were actually happy. At a time when everything else appeared to be crumbling, it burst with hope and possibility.Last month, after just a few years of layoffs and withering, it shut down for good.And if the quick life and death of BuzzFeed News represented the whole past, present, and future of media collapsed into a single decade, then BuzzFeed Canada was a micocosm of that, living fast and dying young in just a fraction of the time.Today, BuzzFeed Canada founding editor Craig Silverman (now with ProPublica) and longtime writer Elamin Abdelmahmoud (now with CBC Radio) sit down with Canadaland news editor Jonathan Goldsbie to look at how this strange thing got built up so fast, and what it was like on the inside as it rapidly slipped awayHost: Jonathan GoldsbieCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Noor Azrieh (Associate Producer)Further information:Definitive Oral History Of BuzzFeed News 2012–2023This Is The Definitive Oral History Of The Dead Toronto Raccoon That Went Viral2019 Canadian Association of Journalists McGillivray Award-winning articleThe Drone And The Damage DoneThe Wreck Of HMS Erebus16 Canadian Politicians Who Are Basically PokémonI Hate Myself Because I Don't Work For BuzzFeedSponsors: Oxio, Squarespace, Peloton, IndochinoIf you value this podcast, support us!

Avec France-Isabelle Langlois (directrice générale d’Amnistie internationale Canada francophone) et Maïka Sondarjee (professeure adjointe à l’Université d’Ottawa, cofondatrice de Femmes expertes et auteure), Emilie se penche sur la haine (en ligne) à laquelle les femmes s’exposent de plus en plus lorsqu’elles prennent la parole publiquement sur les enjeux qui leur tiennent à cœur. Pourquoi est-ce que l’arène publique devient de plus en plus violente ? Comment les femmes se sont-elles adaptées et comment résistent-elles ? Et qu’est-ce qui peut être fait pour venir à bout de cette violence ?Cette conversation a été enregistrée au Centre PHI à Montréal, le 8 juin 2023. Merci à l’équipe du Centre PHI.Emilie is joined by France-Isabelle Langlois (Executive Director of Amnesty International Canada Francophone) and Maïka Sondarjee (assistant professor at the University of Ottawa, co-founder of Femmes Expertes and author) to discuss (online) hatred women are increasingly exposed to when they speak out publicly on the issues that matter to them. Why is the public arena becoming increasingly violent? How have women been coping, and resisting? And what can be done to put an end to this violence?This conversation was recorded live at the PHI Centre in Montreal on June 8, 2023.

There's no beat more likely to get you an audience and a paycheck. It's trend-proof and recession-proof. Yes, true crime is freakishly popular right now, but it was never unpopular. Audiences have been showing up for gangster stories and murder stories and heist stories and scam stories steadily, for at least a hundred years, and probably a lot longer. It's big business.But it’s a business that can come with a personal cost for its practitioners. How can you dig into the darkest parts of the human psyche, the most notorious crimes, and not feel guilty?Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor)Further information:The Human Scale: Murder, Mischief and Other Selected MayhemsMichael Lista’s websiteAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: Canva, Squarespace, PelotonIf you value this podcast, support us!

Big tech critic Cory Doctorow lays out a four-part plan to save the news media from big tech’s stranglehold.The plan: create a comprehensive new privacy law, open up the app stores to true competition, return to the internet’s founding principle of true end to end delivery, and finally, splinter Meta and Google into smaller independent competing companies.Would it work?
