Investigation into Canada’s New Brunswick brain syndrome is being blocked by the province, whose claims that the syndrome is various existing diseases have been debunked by federal experts, who suggest that the provincial government controlled by its forestry industry is blocking the investigation to retain tourism and industry.

      Canadaland has lost a lot of credibility with me after all the shit Jesse Brown has been spewing post October 7.

      I won’t deny that their coverage of this issue has been good though

          I’m aware of that, but when the founder and main host is spreading false and misleading information on the show, it calls into question the whole enterprise.

          I do occasionally tune in to episodes not hosted by him, with some skepticism if the issue is in any way politically charged.

            I think I’ve listened to every Canadaland episode since like 2016 or so, and I’ve yet to hear him say anything even remotely approaching what people accuse him of.

            That said I don’t follow his X account or anything.
