    Thursday, September 5th 2024

    Riley Yesno joins Emilie Nicolas to unpack the editorial shitshow at Elle Canada, as well as big changes at APTN. 


    To celebrate its 25th year as a national broadcaster, APTN is betting big on languages (18 of them to be precise) with the launch of the APTN languages channel. But can language preservation preserve the bottom line? 


    Then, how a list of groundbreaking Canadian women led to online backlash and a series of questionable editorial decisions at Elle Canada. Is Canadian media about to get a lot more boring?

  3. Qui va voter pour Kamala Harris?

    Saturday, August 31st 2024

    Depuis l’investiture de Kamala Harris à la candidature démocrate, le parti a le vent dans les voiles et devance le camp de Donald Trump de quelques points de pourcentage. Pour comprendre ce qui se joue en coulisse, Emilie reçoit Kara Sheppard-Jones, spécialiste de mobilisation politique et sociale. Américaine et Canadienne, Sheppard-Jones a œuvré pour plusieurs campagnes électorales, notamment aux États-Unis. Elle décrypte pour nous les enjeux qui sous-tendent la campagne de Kamala Harris et les divisions qui menacent le camp démocrate, avant d’analyser les stratégies de communication du parti Républicain. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie et Kara reviennent sur l’art de mobiliser, la professionnalisation grandissante de ce champ d’activité, et les différences culturelles entre l’activisme politique américain et québécois.


    Since the nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate, the party leads the race by a few percentage points. To better understand what is at play behind the scenes, Emilie speaks with Kara Sheppard-Jones, a Canadian-American political and social movement expert. Sheppard-Jones has worked for several electoral campaigns, including in the United States. She deciphers for us the stakes underlying Kamala Harris' campaign and the divisions that threaten the Democratic camp, before analyzing the Republican Party's communication strategies. In the second part of the show, Emilie and Kara look at the art of mobilizing, the growing professionalization of this field of work, and the cultural differences between American and Quebec political activism.

  4. Goodbye, Jonathan Goldsbie

    Thursday, August 29th 2024

    With Postmedia ending daily print editions of The Telegram — leaving Newfoundland and Labrador without a single daily paper — we wonder how to keep talking shit about the news when the news itself keeps on disappearing. 


    Plus, while National Post columnist Adam Zivo’s unlikely foray into international espionage makes for a great anecdote, there's good reason why journalists shouldn’t moonlight as spies.


    Karyn Pugliese joins for this very special farewell to Jonathan Goldsbie.  


    Host: Jonathan Goldsbie

    Credits: James Nicholson (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), max collins (Production Manager), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)

    Guest: Karyn Pugliese

  5. Why Are Thousands of Gazans Still Waiting to Come to Canada?

    Monday, August 26th 2024

    Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced in May that Canada’s temporary visa program for Gazans would be expanded, from 1000 to 5000. But eight months into the program, only 206 people have actually made it over to Canada  - and to do so, they had to find their own ways out of Gaza.


    Meanwhile, thousands of Gazans are still waiting to hear back on the status of their applications. 


    What is going on? And has Canada misled people hoping for a way out of a crisis?
