Everyone is talking about (homegrown Canadian) Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary, You Can See Everything. The Verge’s Elizabeth Lopatto spent four months covering Holmes’ fraud trial, and she joins host Noor Azrieh to unpack what the film reveals, what it leaves unchallenged, and the difference between a compelling documentary and good journalism.
Plus, China’s AI bubble loses air, and Can...

In 2005, Canada’s leaders agreed to a $5.1-billion plan to close the gap for Indigenous people. Three days later, the government fell, and the deal died with it.
This week, they finally sat down again.
Sam spends the day before with Jeff Copenace, chief of Onigaming First Nation. Twenty years ago, he was sitting right behind Paul Martin at Kelowna. This time, he couldn’t get in the room.

Over 20,000 kids went through Ontario's "training schools" system. But really they weren't so much schools as prisons for children ages 8-16. T...
There’s no Mamdani in Toronto’s mayoral race.
incumbent Mayor Olivia Chow has lost her early lead on Brad Bradford, with polls suggesting they are deadlocked heading into Monday’s election.
As progressives scramble to respond to Bradford’s steady rise in the polling, buoyed by a right-leaning law and order platform, some critics wonder if Chow misjudged the city’s mood.

A deadly fire killed 4 soldiers at a military base in Alberta on Saturday, but as the news was breaking, information was hard to come by. Even days afterward, basic details remain unknown.
The Canadian Military is promising to release the details of its investigation to the public, but how long will it take for Canadians to learn what happened at CFB Wainwright?
Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to discuss the culture of secrecy a...
Mark Carney is a serious politician in an age of deeply unserious politics. He’s become more than the guy running Canada’s government…he’s become the world's poster boy for the anti-Trump resistance. But the more host Noor Azrieh talks to Canadians, the more it feels like Canada handed Carney the keys and decided we didn’t need to watch where he was driving us.
Host: Noor Azrieh

As Steven Galloway’s defamation trial continues, his supporters say he’s finally getting justice, but some also are demanding accountability from media outlets for their coverage of the case over the last decade.
CANADALAND’s previous coverage of Galloway has come under scrutiny in Quillette and from Margaret Atwood.
Rahim Mohamed joins Jesse Brown to dig into the archives to consider if mistakes were made...
There are just a few days left until Alberta’s referendum on separation (and more). If the vote goes through, it won't redraw the country’s borders overnight, but it could give Premier Smith a mandate to pursue the next vote where Alberta could actually separate.
Host Noor Azrieh sits down with Premier Smith to ask what she’s prepared to do if the vote goes through, and how much responsibility she takes for ge...

Critics of the editorial argue that the National Post crossed the line, advocating for violence against Lewis.
Meanwhile, a CBC journalist, Nei...

Quebec has elected Paul St-Pierre Plamondon and the Parti Québéois to a minority government, whose platform includes a referendum on sovereignty.
Even though St-Pierre Plamondon intends to hold off on a referendum until after Trump has left office, Canada now has a two-headed separatism problem.
The current version of Quebec’s sovereignty movement is led by young people, who signal their support through reels and memes.

It took Danielle Smith (basically) a year to get her new West Coast pipeline from Ottawa - a massive project with a price tag between 35 to 44 billion dollars. Alberta is pushing for construction to start in less than a year. That timeline is a big test for Carney, because it will be the first project to use the fast-tracking powers his government passed through the controversial Bill C-5. But, there are still a ton of unanswered q...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
