CANADALAND

canadaLANDBACK is a co-production by Canada’s National Observer and Canadaland.Landback is not just about returning real estate.It is about Indigenous people reclaiming who we are and making ourselves whole again.An elder once told me that he believed residential schools were designed to hurt women, because "They knew that when you break the hearts of our women, you break the strength of our nations."That story and other teachings tell us that women are central and even sacred to our communities. This episode looks at how women are reclaiming their role as mothers, teachers, leaders, and sacred beings, despite everything colonialism has thrown at them. This is not a story of hope, so much as it is a story of resilience and courage. In this episode of landback we interview three women, whose stories intersect; Terri Brown, a former chief of the Tahltan First Nation in British Columbia, and former president of the Native Women’s Association (NWAC); Dr. Beverly Jacobs, Mohawk, Six Nations, is the Senior Advisor to the President on Indigenous Relations and Outreach at the University of Windsor and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law, who is also a former President of NWAC; Tori Cress Ojibway and Pottawattami, G’Chimnissing is a land and water defender. Music “Dare to Dream” by Brandi MorinPlease be warned this episode contains stories of violence, sexual assault and mentions the name and decribes some actions of a serial killer in B.C. Host/Producer: Karyn Pugliese Producer: Kim WheelerThis episode contained research by Beverly Andrews.Check out other CNO podcasts, including Hot Politics available on Apple Podcasts and wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts.Sponsors: Douglas, United Steelworkers, Hello Fresh If you value this podcast, support us!

Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, has been a long-time coming. After initially being proposed in 2021 as Bill C-10, it is in the final stage of becoming law. The bill would regulate online video streamers, forcing them to contribute towards the Canadian Content system and promote “CanCon” on their platforms, like traditional Canadian broadcasters do. Online-only creators have fears it would impact their livelihood.Most Canadians aren’t even watching CanCon, will this Bill change that? Will it make CanCon better? Can a system that was built for traditional film and TV, be made to work for an increasingly online, global market?Audio Editor and Technical Producer Tristan Capacchione sits down with Canadian filmmakers to talk all about the “CanCon” system and the problems they’ve experienced with it.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Reporter, Audio Editor, and Technical Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor)Featured guests: Matt Johnson, Andrew Chung, Marc Almon, Valerie Creighton, Miki “Xwater” LjuljdurovicFurther reading: CMF Annual Report, 2021-2022A new streaming bill is close to becoming law in Canada.

There aren’t a lot of dedicated spaces for Black, Indigenous and People of Colour in Nova Scotia. One community group wanted to change that.They decided to create a cottage retreat for BIPOC in Birchtown, Nova Scotia, a site of significant Black history. It would be owned and run by the community, a place where they could rest, relax and have access to nature. They raised money through donations and memberships. But now some of the organizers of Buy Black Birchtown are speaking out, saying they were promised a safe space for the community - but instead were betrayed. Clarification: Shekara Grant became involved with Buy Black Birchtown via the Change is Brewing Collective in early 2021, not in 2020 as some listeners may have concluded.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Cherise Seucharan (Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor)Further reading:Black professional women are exhausted.
