And be sure to stay tuned for some big announcements over the next few weeks.—Author Patrick Lennox argues the case that the leaders of the separatist movement in Alberta are treasonous.Lennox writes that the "...enablers in the quasi-separatist United Conservative Party are engaged in treason against the Canadian people. They wear the obscuring masks of grievance, but behind those masks are the faces of traitors, a gaggle of hucksters, con men, and megalomaniacal politicians who are enabling our enemies to loosen our will to self-determination as a nation." So is Alberta's referendum the legitimate airing of grievance or the culmination of a grave crime? Either way, the results are about to roll in…Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editing & Production), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkImage by CanadalandMore information:On Treason: Alberta Separatism, Foreign Interference, and Canada’s Survival in a Revolutionary Age — BiblioasisPolitical organizer from separatist group not co-operating with voter list investigation: Elections Alberta | CBC NewsAlberta Referendum Who’s Who: The Major Players and How They’re Connected | The WalrusAlberta voter list leak is a potential public safety disaster: Enforcement experts | Globalnews.caLawsuit filed over voter privacy breach affecting almost three million Albertans | Globalnews.caSeparatist leader David Parker behind voter list leak is uncooperative: Elections Alberta | Globalnews.caDanielle Smith should use Alberta’s data breach to put an end to secession talk - The Globe and Mailhttps://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/20/investigations/alberta-voter-data-10x-votes-centurion-projectIs MAGA weaponizing Alberta separatism? | CBC RadioThe Wild Claims of Jeff Rath, Separatist Firebrand | The TyeeSponsors: Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at https://shopify.caFizz: Visit https://fizz.ca and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get 25$ off and 10GB of free data.BetterHelp: Visit https://BetterHelp.com/canadaland today to get 10% off your first month.Can’t get enough Canadaland?

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 getting Alberta to this point.

An editorial in the National Post considers “How to Deal with Avi Lewis” according to Jewish law, following a Yom Kippur post made by Lewis calling for the Jewish community to take responsibility for failing to stop “an ongoing genocide committed in our name.”Critics of the editorial argue that the National Post crossed the line, advocating for violence against Lewis. Meanwhile, a CBC journalist, Neil Herland, is taken off the air for documenting his personal experience of a protest outside a Yom Kippur Synagogue service in Toronto.Harrison Lowman joins Jesse Brown to discuss why online discourse is more focused on X posts and editorials than the crisis facing Jewish Canadians, underscored by the violent antisemitic attack on a synagogue in Belleville.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson (Senior Producer), Julian Abraham (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Harrison LowmanAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading: Avi Lewis’ Yom Kippur Post on XAvi Lewis’s foolish statement on ‘Jewish people’ should be disqualifying - The Globe and MailYoni Goldstein: Jewish law tells us how to deal with Avi Lewis | National PostNational Post crosses dangerous line by publishing call for violence against NDP leader - RicochetI’m familiar with death threats.

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. Meanwhile, in Alberta an investigation in the Globe and Mail details meetings between separatists and the US administration, where fresh water, oil royalties, and a train route to Alaska were reportedly offered in exchange for US support.

Today we’re reopening the files on what might be the strangest and most shocking Canadian media story in recent memory. The Ottawa Citizen journalist, David Pugliese, who was allegedly compromised by the KGB.On October 24th, 2024, Chris Alexander, former MP and former Harper cabinet minister, also a former Canadian diplomat to Russia, gave sworn testimony at a parliamentary inquiry into Russian interference and disinformation campaigns in Canada. And that’s where the allegations first came to public light.The story stunned the Canadian media world. David Pugliese has been a fixture in Canadian journalism for almost 40 years. He does serious in-depth reporting about national defense. And the idea that all this time he's been a secret Russian agent, it just seemed nuts.But these were serious, potentially career-ending, potentially criminal allegations. Pugliese denied the allegations outright in clear and emphatic language. The Canadian Association of Journalists stood by his side and decried the allegations as a McCarthy-esque smear job. And the story, well, google it now, and the internet’s collective wisdom will tell you that the story is debunked.So why are we talking about it now? Because our investigation raises new questions about the allegations against Pugliese and about the Canadian media’s role in the story.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Written and Reported by, Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Additional music by Audio NetworkFact checking by Julian AbrahamPhoto: David Pugliese’s X ProfileMore information:Canadaland’s Substack Forged KGB Documents Used to Smear Journalist in Parliament | The WalrusSo You've Become a Russian Asset - by Justin LingSponsors:Fizz: Visit https://fizz.ca and activate a first plan using the referral code CAN25 to get $25 off and 10GB of free data.Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at https://shopify.caBetterHelp: Visit https://BetterHelp.com/canadaland today to get 10% off your first month.Can’t get enough Canadaland?

Earlier this year, we asked you to call in and tell us about news stories that were a big deal in your town, but were not necessarily getting much, if any, national attention. We ended up hearing some incredible stories and even got a few leads out of that episode. This week, we decided to dive back into the world of local news and pose the same question to our listeners — and you did not disappoint.On this episode, we hear what it’s really like to weather a referendum storm from an Alberta citizen, we experience an Ontario town’s “gift of nuclear waste,” and our host James reconnects with an old friend of the forest.

Elizabeth May is a fierce, dogged critic. No matter the government. Mark Carney’s Liberals are no exception. I wanted to know what she’s actually seen and heard, because even though Elizabeth May has been pissed before, host Noor Azrieh is sensing a rage she hasn’t seen before.Plus, after a long hiatus, Parliament reconvened last week. And Mark Carney’s Liberals wasted no time tabling their Building Canada Strong Act.

The announcement that the EU is “opening the door” to Canada for associate membership overshadowed how the story initially broke. Following detailed reporting in the Wall Street Journal, Carney denied that Canada was seeking membership in the EU. Days later, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced that Canada was in fact being considered for associate membership. Why did Carney and government sources initially deny the story? And should Canadian media hold him accountable for misleading the public?

There was no shortage of retrospective 9/11 coverage in Canadian outlets, but the tone and focus was a lot different than south of the border. Jean Chretien’s address in Gander foregrounded how much has changed in the Canada/US relationship, while a Canadian Press article focusing on Islamophobia caused outrage online.Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to talk about journalistic approaches to covering historical tragedies, and to reflect on 9/11’s impact. Plus, Mao’s unspoken legacy in China and why no one wants to report on vaccine injuries.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Julian Abraham (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Jan WongFurther reading: Jean Chrétien says 'we bow to no one' in fiery 9/11 speech in Gander, N.L. | CBC News25 years since 9/11, Canada is not further ahead on tackling Islamophobia: advocates - CTV NewsHUNTER: What CBC 'Journalist Standards' boss doesn't know about 9/11 - Toronto SunSheryl Saperia: 25 years on, what would bin Laden see? - National PostMao, Cultural Revolution cast long shadow over China 50 years on | ReutersWARMINGTON: The vaccine injured told their truth at Allison Inquiry – government should listen - Toronto Sun   Sponsors:Douglas:  Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

A trend of “Blame Canada” memes is causing a schism amongst conservatives. Far-right conservative influencers are gleefully amplifying MAGA-style messaging around Carney and Canada, while more moderate conservative voices are calling them “traitorous.” Under Pierre Poilievre, the CPC embraced right-wing influencers, offering them “content creator” passes and access to events, but now they’re trying to distance themselves.Is the turf war between establishment conservatives and edgy memelords overblown? Harrison Lowman of the Hub joins Julian Abraham to explore the AI slop that is dividing conservatives in Canada. Host: Julian AbrahamCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Caleb Thompson (Mixing and Mastering), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Harrison LowmanPhoto: Donald Trump Truth Social Post (likely generated by A.I.)Further reading: Ben Woodfinden: 'Blame Canada' conservatives are no better than woke statue topplers - National PostThe Conservative civil war has only just begun | Canada's National ObserverRichard Warnica: Canada’s conservatives have a problem with reality - Toronto StarMarc Nixon on X: "Mark Carney THROWN into Lake America 🇺🇸🤣" / XMarc Nixon on X: "😭🤣🔥 you can’t run from the MEMES Even if you try" / XBrian Lilley on X: "Calling Canada shitty and cheering on a foreign leader attacking ours all in one video.
