Huge scoop by rhe Canadaland team : what does training up a new generation of Canadian airline mechanics take? Apparently, it takes scammed procurement, nepotism, illegal profiteering, plagiaraized training materials, and AI hallucinations.

Feel safer yet?

Give this a listen. It starts off wild and then it really takes off.

Also, please boost and please support independent Canadian journalism, because it’s almost all we have left.

I'm not a regular listener of this podcast but I did find this one worth listening to. Remember, when the host interviewed Jesse Brown a few months back about his antisemitism series he wasn't really equipped to argue with him. But here he's interviewing a guy who is a bit older and more experienced who is able to give a grounded critique of the problematic Canadaland series.

I learned a LOT from this episode from #CanadaLand

#1294 Oil For Dummies https://www.canadaland.com/podcast/1294-oil-for-dummies/

"What do you really know about oil? Given that it seems to be driving so much of our geopolitics and fuelling a large part of our economy, what do you need to know about it?"

I just made an account on the #Forkiverse (or #TheForkiverse). I feel a bit bad because apparently they're planning to cap out at 2000 people, but I wanted to at least check it out for a second

Very cool initiative. I am happy to make an #introduction to everyone over there (worded awkwardly to get the right hashtag in there)

I didn't know about these guys or their particular projects before today (when I saw an old friend, on the fediverse, talking about this podcast!), but one of the things I have used some of my free time is doing is trying to push #Canadaland Media, owned by @bsky.app.profile.jessebrown.bsky.social, to try to put some organization muscle - and even the tiniest spoonful of enthusiasm - into a pivot towards the fediverse. I think it'd be really cool, and I don't know why it can't happen when other small Canadian outfits like the @HalifaxExaminer have done it

but it is nice to know what can happen when you have that NYT money to throw around

Really good episode of Bad Hasbara this week on Jesse Brown's bullshit.

If you're going to dip in just for a few minutes, I recommend starting at the 58 minute mark, where they talk about his bias and how he holds up his ignorance on the subject of the Israeli ethnic cleansing campaign as being a BASIS for his latest podcast series with out questioning what he might be missing and/or his emotional state on the subject.

"As it turned out, I’d met my match. The staff who’d been there longer were correct in their assessment I could not fix the long-standing issues. The effort was like trying to grasp a handful of water out of the tap." 👀

on his "I didn't leave the left, the left left me" speaking tour 🙄

(speaking as a decade long #Canadaland patreon supporter who finally had enough last year, stopped paying, stopped listening, the quality cratered)
