Canadaland is a Canadian digital media company and podcast network, focused on producing a network of podcasts. The company was founded by Jesse Brown in 2013. The original podcast covers Canadian media and media criticism. Subsequently, new shows have been added to the network covering a range of topics from current affairs, art and culture, cooking, medicine, and Canadian politics.

History

[edit]

The company was launched by Jesse Brown in the autumn of 2013.[1][2] The original intention of the podcast was to spill "secrets about newsroom misdeeds, broken stories about TV journalists taking money from groups they cover, and challenged reporting that [Jesse Brown] he believe[d] has fallen short."[1] By 2015, it had expanded to become a "podcast network and a news organization with staff".[3]

In February 2014, Canadaland published the results of an investigation that The National anchor Peter Mansbridge had accepted money from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) to speak at a December 2012 event.[4] This raised conflict of interest concerns as Mansbridge had accepted money from an entity with a vested interest in the oil sands issue, a topic Mansbridge regularly reported on from a national platform. The story got picked up on by The Huffington Post,[5] Vice,[6] and reporter Andrew Mitrovica,[7] forcing Mansbridge to address the issue,[8] sparking a lively debate in the Canadian mainstream media outlets.[9][10][11][12][13] CBC Ombudsman Esther Enkin investigated the issue, concluding there was no problem with Mansbridge taking money to speak before an oil lobby group, though adding that CBC should "think about the appearance of getting paid by interest groups who are likely to feature prominently in the news".[14][15][16][17]

In April 2014, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation announced changes in its rules regarding speaking engagements for its journalists.[18][19]

People

[edit]

Jesse Brown has been the publisher and host of Canadaland since October 2013.[20] In an article in the Times Colonist, Mike Devlin described Brown as the "controversial host of the popular Canadaland podcast and crowdfunded news site."[21] Devlin wrote that Brown was "polarizing...mostly because of his irreverent critiques and smart-ass attitude" whose "media and cultural critiques" are handled in a "gloves-off manner."[21] According to Devlin, Brown became "something of a bad boy in Ontario" for attacking Canadian media "sacred cows" such as The Globe and Mail. In his 2014 article in The Walrus, Brown described how guest journalists were originally reluctant to appear on the program until it gained credibility following the February 2014 Mansbridge exposé.[20]

In May 2023, Karyn Pugliese was named the new editor-in-chief of Canadaland after Brown announced that he was stepping down from the role.[22] Pugliese is a member of the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation in Ontario.[23] She is best known for her work as a journalist and executive director at the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network,[24] and as the Managing Editor of CBC's Investigative unit, overseeing television programming for the Fifth Estate and Marketplace.[25] She previously served as the Communications Director for the Assembly of First Nations.[26] and as the president of the Canadian Association of Journalists. She is known as a press freedom advocate in Canada and abroad.She has previously appeared on Short Cuts, and as the host of canadaLANDBACK.

Funding

[edit]

The company's revenue streams include principally advertisements and, since 2014, direct crowdfunding and the sale of merchandise.[27] Canadaland publishes an annual "Transparency Report" that details their finances.

The company's 2017–2018 annual fundraising campaign included an appeal by Ryan McMahon to launch a new investigative podcast calledThunder Bay.[28] The campaign proved successful, surpassing their "funding threshold".[29][28]

It now takes the format of a documentary podcast with each new season guiding the listener through a different topic.[31] Past seasons of Commons have covered cults, hockey, monopolies in Canada, Canada's participation in the War in Afghanistan, the Canadian mining industry, real estate market in Canada and policing.

[edit]

The White Saviors was a six-part podcast series narrated by Olusola Adeogun.

In rejecting Brown's motion under Ontario's anti-SLAPP law to dismiss a lawsuit filed against Brown and Canadaland, Justice Edward Morgan ruled Brown and Canadaland did not give Theresa Kielburger, the mother of WE founders Craig and Marc Kielburger, a chance to respond to allegations about her in the podcast. The judge said Brown's explanation for not contacting Mrs. Kielburger showed, in Brown's eyes, "the Plaintiff's (Mrs. Kielburger's) feelings are worth nothing." The judge went on to say, "The cynicism of Brown's explanation not only accentuates the defamatory sting of his words, but could be considered high handed and oppressive." Justice Morgan said Brown had written proof that the allegations he made about Mrs. Kielburger were false, and the judge ordered the case to move forward to trial. [46]

Book: The Canadaland Guide to Canada

[edit]

In her review of Jesse Brown's 2017 book The Canadaland Guide to Canada,[49] author Charlotte Gray described Jesse Brown as a "crowdfunded media critic and self-described 'public irritant'"[50] Gray cited Brown in describing Canada as "shapeless, beige haze," that we created and that "it's time we grew up and told the truth."[50]

Theresa Kielburger vs. Canadaland Inc.

[edit]

In November 2021, Theresa Kielburger, a retired Toronto schoolteacher and mother of WE Charity founders Craig and Marc Kielburger, filed a defamation lawsuit against Canadaland Inc. and its proprietor Jesse Brown, seeking $3 million in damages. The lawsuit disputes claims in a Canadaland podcast called "The White Saviors Canadaland. True Crime" which was first aired August 23, 2021.[51][52][53]

The central focus of the lawsuit was Canadaland's characterization of a 1997 lawsuit involving her son Craig Kielburger and Saturday Night magazine from the previous year, which resulted in a judicial condemnation and settlement of $319,000 against the magazine.[51][52][53] The author of the Saturday Night piece, Isabel Vincent, had claimed that in 1995 Theresa Kielburger deposited $150,000 in donations from the Ontario Federation of Labour into her family bank account.[51][52][53] This claim, which both Ms. Kielburger and the Ontario Federation of Labour flatly denied, was presented in Canadaland's podcast, according to the lawsuit, in a manner meant to suggest that Theresa Kielburger had stolen the money.[51][52][53] Ms. Kielburger's lawsuit stated that Canadaland was aware that this claim was false, but repeated it anyway.[51][52]

Brown accused WE Charity of mounting a public relations campaign against it, telling podcast listeners that “#JesseBrownLies was briefly the number one trending topic in Kenya" and complained that several American media organizations had called Canadaland "fake news".[51] Brown said that he was “confident that this lawsuit will be dismissed."[51]

In May 2024, Ontario Superior Court Justice Edward Morgan denied Brown and Canadaland's bid to dismiss the lawsuit on the basis of Anti-SLAPP legislation, finding instead that Ms. Kielburger's claims had "substantial merit"and setting the case on track to go to trial.[52][53] Morgan found no evidence that Brown or Canadaland had any valid defence for the willful omission of relevant information or for what he called a "callous disregard" for Ms. Kielburger's reputation.[52] Morgan found that Canadaland's podcast repeated the earlier libel as a central theme of its podcast after ignoring information provided by her accountant and by the Ontario Federation of Labor, and wrote,“For Canadaland to have left this important point out of its story undermines any factual objectivity that the broadcast may claim." Morgan wrote, "The fact that he was speaking about the plaintiff, and imposing personal pain on the plaintiff by repeating an allegation about her that he was aware had been seriously contested, if not established as entirely false, was seen by him as irrelevant."[52]

While ruling that the trial against Brown and Canadaland should go forward, Morgan found that Saturday Night (magazine)'s reporter Isabel Vincent, who was interviewed for the podcast, lacked sufficient involvement to be held liable for Canadaland's behavior.[52][53]

According to Peter Downard, partner at Fasken, counsel for the plaintiff and one of three members of the Attorney General of Ontario's advisory panel which drafted Ontario's anti-SLAPP legislation, Canadaland's attempt to dismiss Ms. Kielburger's claim is an example of how the legislation he helped to draft, meant to protect whistleblowers against corporate power, is being misused. The law, he explained, was meant to quickly dismiss frivolous claims rather than adjudicate factually and legally complex cases such as Kielburger vs. Canadaland Inc.[53]

Brown and Canadaland claimed three potential valid defences, each of which was rejected by the court. The first was that their statements constituted a "fair and accurate report" of proceedings in the Saturday Night case, but the court found that Canadaland's claims went beyond what was in them.[53]

The second potential defence was that of "responsible communication", meaning that Canadaland had to demonstrate that it exercised due diligence in determining the facts and reported them responsibly.. The court found that Canadaland failed this test by not contacting Ms. Kielburger to learn what had actually happened. Lenczner Slaght partner William McDowell commented, "You have to actually do your best to figure out whether the allegation is true or not.".[53] When Justice Morgan asked Brown why Canadaland had denied Ms. Kielburger the opportunity to respond to its allegations, Brown responded that he "did not seek comment [from the plaintiff] for the same reason why I didn’t seek comment from my own mother: neither of them were involved.”.[52]

Finally, Brown and Canadaland claimed that their reporting qualified as "fair comment" on a matter of public interest, which would be protected by law. The court rejected this on the ground that fair comment is a matter of opinion rather than an assertion of fact, and that the evidence suggested that Canadaland's facts were likely untrue.[53]

Critical reception

[edit]

A year after the podcast was launched, it was attracting about 10,000 listeners every week. By late 2018, Canadaland's podcasts had reached 100,000 weekly listeners.[54] In 2020, the original podcast had reached more than 9 million cumulative downloads, making it among the most popular podcasts in Canada.[55]

By 2023, the Canadaland podcast network reached over 150,000 downloads per week.

The Globe and Mail's Simon Houpt compared Brown to an "action star in a Hollywood blow-'em-up: throwing fireballs and kicking asses" but added "he has a track record of playing fast and loose with facts".[1]

In the Toronto Life review of Toronto's most "addictive podcasts" in 2016, Vibhu Gairola, included Canadaland. Gairola wrote that "Unless you're a journalist, you probably know Canadaland as that podcast that broke the Ghomeshi scandal". While Canadaland self-described as a "non-sensationalist watchdog and a flag bearer for responsible reporting", Brown is known for routinely challeng[ing] and condemn[ing] the big names in Canadian news." Gairola compared Canadaland to "earnest whistle-blowing of TVO's The Agenda With Steve Paikin or HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher.[56]

National Post's Christie Blatchford wrote that Canadaland's 2017 fake obituary[57] by Indigenous journalist and activist Robert Jago on Canadaland's website, of the Post's founder, former publisher, columnist, and Blatchford's former employer—Conrad Black—was "vicious", "petty and unfunny."[58]
