CANADALAND host Jesse Brown introduces Dylan to a strange and decaying Quebecois fast food institution… housed inside a giant orange sphere. Today, the orange is a relic of a bygone era. But decades ago, this odd establishment was on track to become the McDonalds of Canada.

There’s a small, sandy island off the coast of Nova Scotia where hundreds of horses run wild. They’ve been there since the 18th century, and are genetically unlike any other horse in the world. While these horses are beloved, an official animal of Nova Scotia, there have been voices over the years saying they’re an invasive species that needs to be removed, as much for the sake of the island as for themselves. So what does the future look like for the Sable Island horse?Phillip McLoughlin, ecologist at the University of Saskatchewan who runs the Sable Island Horse Project, joins us.This episode was produced in collaboration with the Atlas Obscura Podcast - a show that brings listeners mind-blowing stories from fascinating places every weekday.

Hot Docs, Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Just for Laughs, just the latest cultural institutions to join a long list of Canadian arts groups facing existential threats. Why is this all happening now?Based on recent headlines, you might think that we are in the midst of a total cultural collapse in this country. Film festivals, comedy festivals, symphonies, cinemas, theater companies, arts magazines all closing down or telling us that they're about to. Corporate sponsors are pulling out. Leadership teams are crumbling. People are quitting en masse or getting laid off. There's been a lot of dirty laundry aired in public from within these organizations, open letters and accusations about mismanagement and workplace inequity within these arts organizations. It all sounds miserably dire.

Traumavertissement: Le segment ‘Bien Noté’ entre 22:30 et 27:00 aborde les violences subies par les enfants autochtones dans les pensionnats.Fin avril, le premier ministre du Québec François Legault annonçait le contenu de son Musée national de l’histoire du Québec: des collections retraçant les 400 dernières années d’histoire, de Jacques Cartier à nos jours. Dans son discours, Legault réservait une place aux Premières Nations qui étaient là “avant nous” et ont “aidé” les colons à surmonter les épreuves. Pour décrypter ces discours empreints de colonialisme, Emilie reçoit l’activiste, animatrice et chroniqueuse Innue Melissa Mollen Dupuis. Ensemble, elles réfléchissent à tisser une nouvelle histoire du Québec, décoloniale et inclusive. En deuxième partie d’émission, Melissa Mollen Dupuis offre un éclairage passionnant sur le phénomène des fraudes d’identité autochtone, les “pretendians” ou en français “fautochtones”.Trigger Warning: The ‘Bien Noté’ segment between 22:30 et 27:00 discusses the abuse inflicted on Indigenous children at residential schools.At the end of April, Quebec Premier François Legault announced the subject matter of his National Museum of Quebec History: collections tracing the last 400 years of history, from Jacques Cartrier to the present day. In his speech, Legault reserved a place for the First Nations who were there “before us” and “helped” the settlers to overcome challenges. To decipher this discourse, marked by colonialism, Emilie is joined by Innu activist, host and columnist Melissa Mollen Dupuis. Together, they reflect on weaving a new history of Quebec that is both decolonized and inclusive. In the second part of the show, Melissa offers fascinating insight into the phenomenon of Indigenous identity fraud, the “pretendians” or in French the “fautochtones”.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Tristan Capacchione (Production technique), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef) Coanimation : Melissa Mollen DupuisPour en savoir plus :Musée national de l’histoire du Québec: des Premières Nations craignent d’être oubliées – Radio-CanadaIndigenous leaders pass declaration on Indigenous identity fraud at summit in Winnipeg – APTNSépultures anonymes d’enfants autochtones: une pente glissante – La PresseCBC has whitewashed Israel’s crimes in Gaza.

The pretendian phenomenon has been known and discussed in indigenous circles for years, but it's become mainstream Canadian news lately thanks to three big name exposés: Buffy sainte Marie, Joseph Boyden, and Michelle Latimer. These people were arguably the most famous indigenous songwriter in Canada, the most famous indigenous novelist in Canada and the most famous indigenous filmmaker in Canada. And all three were revealed to not actually be indigenous or at a minimum, all three misrepresented their ancestries and their community connections.But they are just the tip of the iceberg. The real issue with pretendians, according to a growing chorus of Indigenous leaders, is that Indigenous identity theft is vast and it poses an existential threat to First Nations. In the United States, the number of people who identified themselves as native has grown from 552,000 back in 1960 to 9.7 million in 2020. That is a growth rate almost ten times as high as overall population growth in America. And most of it did not happen because new native people were born. It happened because millions of people shifted their identities. Here in Canada, we have 1.8 million people identifying as Indigenous today, up from just under half a million in 1980. That is almost a 400% increase. And again, most of it is not because indigenous people are having so many kids. Most of it is happening because so many Canadians are deciding that they're Indigenous. So what happens when people with newly claimed and highly contested Indigenous identities outnumber the Indigenous people that precede them? Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Featured guests: Robert Jago, Angel EllisAdditional music by Audio NetworkFor more information:Find Pretendians on your favourite podcast appThe Newfoundlander — CanadalandAFN National Chief speaks at UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues — APTN NewsSponsors: AG1, CAMH, SquarespaceFor a limited time, get 6 months of exclusive supporter benefits for just $2/month.

Si l’on en croit les médias et les discours des politiques, les immigrants seraient responsables de toutes les difficultés culturelles et économiques que connaissent le Canada et le Québec à l’heure actuelle. Pour décrypter ces discours nauséabonds, Emilie reçoit Mireille Paquet, professeure au département de politique de l’Université Concordia et spécialiste des politiques migratoires. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, elles reviennent sur les campements pro palestiniens installés sur les campus canadiens, témoins de tensions entre la haute administration universitaire et la communauté étudiante et professorale.According to politicians and some media, immigrants would be responsible for all the cultural and economic troubles Canada and the province of Quebec are facing.

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.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Featured guests: Amir Attaran, Samira Mohyeddin, Kahve ShahroozAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Canada has become a safe haven for officials from Iran’s monstrous regime — The Globe & MailThe Jews of my generation thought they would be exempt from history.

We’ve long heard about how the news business is failing - layoff after layoff, media execs have claimed that they have had no choice but to make cutbacks.In Bell’s latest round of 4800 layoffs, CEO Mirko Babic defended his decision to a parliamentary committee, claiming the company was struggling in a tough economic environment - and that news was part of what was bringing them down.But is that the full story? Because before Google and Facebook ate up advertising dollars, the Canadian media companies of the 90s made a bad bet. And it failed to pay off. And now… the news industry is taking the fall. Further reading:Corporate ownership of media has failed Canadians, Marc Edge, Canadian Dimension, 2024Bell Media Has Cut 1 In 4 Positions Since 2020 as Parent Company Keeps Dividend Rolling, The Deep Dive, 2024 Media convergence, acquisitions and sales in Canada, CBC, 2010Convergence after the collapse: The ‘catastrophic’ case of Canada, Marc Edge, Media, Culture and Society, 2011Financialization and the “Crisis of the Media”: The Rise and Fall of (Some) Media Conglomerates in Canada, Dwayne Winseck, Canadian Journal of Communication, 2010Host: Jesse Brown & Cherise SeucharanCredits: Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), André Proulx (Production Coordinator), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Sponsors: Betterhelp Douglas IndochinoAdditional Music by Audio Network.Support Canadaland at canadaland.com/joinYou can listen ad-free on Amazon Music—included with Prime.
