Kanye West, Dave Chappelle and Kyrie Irving have breathed new life into the antisemitic trope that Jews control the media. Is Jew-hatred from Black cultural icons more dangerous than the usual bigotry? And why is it so difficult for Jewish and Black communities to hear each other when it comes to racism? Emilie Nicolas joins Jesse to lay out a framework for better conversations.

canadaLANDBACK is a co-production by Canada’s National Observer and Canadaland.

Land claims can take generations to settle. Sometimes communities lose patience, sometimes development forces them to take a stand or risk losing their land forever. Barricades have become a familiar scene in Canada. 

The land issue is rarely settled when barricades come down. Instead the community is left with court cases,  post traumatic stress, and unresolved human rights issues.

Some of those people are children.. 

There is a saying I told you about last time: we get the grandchildren we deserve.

We raised this generation together Canada, your people and mine. 

Who did these children become?

This is their episode.  

In the first half of this episode, we’ll introduce you to three people who survived land conflicts.

In the second half, they share their experiences with each other as they meet for the first time. 

Please be warned: This episode contains two descriptions of violence against children. 

Host/Producer: Karyn Pugliese 

Producer: Kim Wheeler

This episode contained reporting by Trina Roache

WIND Mobile, now known as Freedom, was a small company that tried to break through Canada’s telecom oligopoly. It did not have an easy ride. 

WIND faced numerous hurdles from regulators, it was subjected to dirty tricks from the telecom oligopoly, and was eventually sold to Shaw. But it also helped lower cell phone rates and brought in unlimited data and U.S. roaming, changing the wireless market permanently.

This is the inside story of WIND Mobile, from the people who were there.

Featured in this episode: Simon Lockie, Brice Scheschuk, Tony Clement

Sarah Polley has come forward with memories of a violent sexual encounter with Jian Ghomeshi when she was 16. But why is the press tongue-tied about describing the alleged violence?
