CANADALAND Canadaland

Open Line on VOCM-AM in Newfoundland has been called an institution. A religion. A must-listen show.

And we at Canadaland had never heard of it - until recently. But it attracts an audience bigger than any show in its time slot, and has consistently for years.

So in the age of podcasts and social media, in a time of layoffs and media cuts, how has this AM radio talk show managed to thrive?

Canadian media coverage of the war in the Middle East has, unsurprisingly, focused on the impact on diaspora communities here in Canada. We have heard about Jewish Canadians, Palestinian Canadians, and we have heard in general terms about the many Muslim communities across Canada and how this is affecting them. But there's one diaspora community that is increasingly at the center of this conflict, who we have heard very little about. And that is the Iranian community.
Today on the show, three members of the Iranian-Canadian community, Amir Attaran, Samira Mohyeddin, and Kahve Shahrooz, join Jesse to talk about their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences about what is going on in their community.
Editor’s note: In the introduction to this episode, Jesse says, “Canada is home to the second largest Iranian diaspora community in the world. There are 400,000.” 
According to Tehran, Canada is home to 400,000 Iranian-Canadians but Statistics Canada puts the number at closer to 200,000. In either case, Canada is still home to one of the largest Iranian diaspora communities in the world.

Alors que l’année 2024 sera la plus chaude jamais enregistrée, on voit le public, épuisé par l'éco anxiété et une certaine fatigue informationnelle, se détourner des médias. Emilie Nicolas reçoit Étienne Leblanc, journaliste environnement et climat à Radio-Canada, pour échanger sur l’évolution de la couverture médiatique des changements climatiques depuis une vingtaine d’années et sur les solutions possibles afin de mieux communiquer sur le sujet. 
Even if 2024 is projected to be the warmest year ever recorded, audiences are tuning out the news, exhausted by eco-anxiety and media fatigue. Emilie Nicolas talks with Étienne Leblanc, environment and climate reporter at the CBC, about the past twenty years of climate change coverage and how to find solutions to better communicate on the topic.

On April 12, 2024, news broke that Sylvie Hauth, the former police chief of Thunder Bay, was arrested and charged with a series of criminal offenses. 
But none of the news reports explained much about just what the hell was happening this time.
Most of this story is still unknown, but this week, Karyn Pugliese, Ryan McMahon, and Jon Thompson will tell you what they can, what they have verified so far, and they will give you their best sense — let's call it a theory — of what the big-picture story is here.
