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?

  • What the FBI Revealed About Tumbler Ridge
    2026/10/16
    The messaging platform Discord is under scrutiny after the FBI alleges it was used to plan the Tumbler Ridge attack. Cody James Bryant, a 30-year-old resident of Bellingham, Washington has been charged with conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country. In the 6 months leading up to the attack, Bryant communicated daily with the Tumbler Ridge shooter, Jesse Van Roostselaar, helping to plan, encourage, and fund the purchase of equipment. B.C. Premier David Eby is calling on Ottawa to regulate platforms like Discord, so that law enforcement is informed when concerning content appears.Sarah Rieger of Betakit joins Julian Abraham to consider the tricky balance between privacy and safety in tech regulation.

    2026/10/14
    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 and what can we learn from the Galloway case with the benefit of hindsight.

  • "I'm Not Concerned" - Danielle Smith on the Alberta Separatist Referendum
    2026/10/13
    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.

  • How Doug Ford Funneled Millions to the Biggest News Orgs (and Shut Out the Rest)
    2026/10/12

    It’s our annual crowdfunding month! You can become a supporter starting for just $5/month by going to canadaland.com/join — we’ll even throw in a free tote bag. And be sure to stay tuned for some big announcements over the next few weeks.


    —————


    It seemed like such a good plan. Doug Ford tried to save local news with cash from weed, liquor, and gambling. He told four provincial agencies, the ones in charge of booze, pot, the lottery, and transportation, that they had to buy ads from local Ontario publishers. Buy Canadian. This directive came after years of provincial ad money being funneled to American tech and media. Millions of Canadian taxpayer dollars fed to Meta or Google for ad buys or the now notorious $8 million ad spend that included a government of Ontario Super Bowl ad. They were basically advertising to Canadians through American outlets. So for Ontario publishers the about face to a Buy Canadian advertising plan was a welcome change.


    So how did it pan out? Where did the millions in ad spending actually go? Who won? Who lost out on the cash? Our reporter Gemma Boothroyd went digging for answers.


    And those questions Gemma chased are all the more important now that the Federal Government is rumoured to be considering scaling up the Ontario plan to the federal level.

  • Is Avi Lewis "Unsafe" or Just Uncomfortable?
    2026/10/09
    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.
