  1. (Short Cuts) The Missing Piece for International Students

    Thursday, January 25th 2024

    From cash cows to scapegoats, has there been a change in how we talk about international students? And how Canada’s provincial governments have, one by one, told the Canada Border Services Agency that they no longer want a role in a system decried as inhumane.


    Clarification: Canadaland would like to clarify there are other requirements to maintain a permanent residency in Canada. One such example is a residency requirement. While there are some exceptions, individuals generally need to have spent at least 730 days (the equivalent of two years) in Canada over the previous five years.

  2. Why Government Is Addicted to Cigarettes

    Monday, January 22nd 2024

    For years Canadian media has been saying that Canada is a world leader in regulating big tobacco and is a global success story when it comes to weaning the public off of cigarettes. 


    Last week there were headlines about the decline of tobacco use in Canada — according to the World Health Organization stats that say we are beating just about every country when it comes to convincing people to kick the habit. 


    Given the tone and the content of news coverage on Canada's anti-smoking effort, and you might have the idea that: 


    • Big Tobacco is in serious business trouble... unless vaping saves them
    • The Canadian government doesn't want anyone to smoke
    • Public Health Canada is getting ready to ban cigarettes entirely, first to young Canadians, and eventually to everyone. 


    According to Max Krangle, a lawyer who worked for Big Tobacco companies like RJ Reynolds for 12 years, you would be wrong. He says the cigarette business is more profitable than ever and that government regulations are the reason why. 


    Correction: In a previous edition of this episode, the guest Max Krangle said that, to account for tobacco revenue loss, income tax would have to increase by 10%. Host Jesse Brown, misinterpreted this and asked if that would mean that tobacco revenue accounts for 10% of total tax revenue. Krangle mistakenly agreed. That exchange has been removed.

  5. The Dangers Of Dumb AI

    Monday, January 15th 2024

    Activist Esra’a Al-Shafei has gone to extreme lengths to keep her image offline. But one day that privacy was breached — or so she thought. 


    Her story is just one of many of the real life impacts of our development and use of artificial intelligence. 


    Can Canada create a guardrail good enough to protect us — and our data — from these kinds of harms? Or have we passed the point of no return? 


    Host: Jesse Brown 

    Credits: Cherise Seucharan (Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)
