Hey Justin Trudeau, you've been doing a lot of podcasts!

With respect to all of them, why not sit down with a Canadian show that will ask you challenging but fair questions? Canadaland has turned a critical eye on your government for years and broken stories about your…

I noticed Iranian-Canadians consistently supporting Israel at rallies and protests. I also noticed Iranian-Canadians among prominent Pro-Palestine voices. Today Samira Mohyeddin سمیرا Kaveh Shahrooz کاوه شهروز and Amir Attaran (@[email protected]) educate me on Iranian-diaspora politics. canadaland.com/podcast/984-in…

Two solitudes 101: Jean-Pierre Ferland’s passing is the top news story on La Presse and Radio-Canada’s sites. Nothing at the CBC or the G&M. How many Canadians outside of Quebec even know who he was?

this was surprisingly, unpredictably touching--that, instead of raucous withering satire, a stand-up comic could speak of 'decency' soberly & at length, to a sympathetic audience that rose to give him a standing ovation. who could have predicted this from Colin Jost at the…

Clandestine murkiness abound: Blunt, Josephine and the betrayal of Arnhem

One day in the archive everything changed. I discovered a second double agent had betrayed Operation Market Garden to the Germans — a spy codenamed Josephine, whom history had all but forgotten and…

This might be the most serious tweet I have ever sent:

Last night at the @WHCA dinner, I spoke privately with 4 members of Congress: 2 Dems and 2 GOPers. All 4 are big foreign policy players and all 4 are strongly pro-Israel in every way.

However… All 4 spoke with significant…

.Louisa Lincoln & I have a new article out that examines how public media could be reimagined & repurposed to better serve local information needs, arguing that a possible pathway is a renewed investment in the existing system in addition to structural reforms.journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

It should be evident to anyone who actually watched the State of the Union, the Howard Stern interview, or the Correspondents dinner speech that Joe Biden is sharp as a tack, quick witted, kindhearted, and genuinely funny. That works for me.

Imagine if other community-style broadcasters could connect as well as these guys do with a committed and generous community of listeners. No fancy govt funds, just operators and listeners connecting …..

I’m a scholar of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a longtime advocate for peace and for Palestinian rights. I have publicly opposed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, and its blockade and now destruction of Gaza. I support the rights of students and faculty to peacefully…

This in CJR is probably the most nuanced and realistic article I have read on local newsrooms dealing with angry conservatives. cjr.org/tow_center/the…

“Another contributor to poor productivity is over regulation and a lack of certainty” Hello there Bill C-11 and C-18. Every time the govt indicates it intends to solve a problem, innovation stops. Break the glass! 💯

I don’t think there’s another radio station in the country that can do this - although a great many of them should and pretend it’s not possible.

So this happened today! So honored to be chosen for this. Many thanks to Truman Library Institute

Today is my birthday, and I don't desire to celebrate or do anything but continue helping my family & others in Gaza, promote meaningful engagements between Palestinians & Israelis, and push for a pragmatic path forward. Please consider donating in honor of my birthday to 3…

Anyone else get the sense that we're going to remain directionless for the next 18 months, with no national leadership, with a government devoted to nothing more than throwing money at its pet causes to try to stem the bleeding as we become further diminished among our G7 peers?
