Why support Canadaland?
Everything our team at Canadaland works so hard to bring you is made possible by a fraction of our audience who give us a little bit of money each month so that more than 8 million people a year can get our journalism for free.
Thanks to a growing community of more than 10,000 supporters, Canadaland is able to tell stories not otherwise told, hold the powerful to account, challenge conventional narratives, offer diverse points of view, and provide space for civil discourse on issues big and small.
As we enter our tenth year, we aim to increase our ambitions and the impact our work can have. Building for the next ten years, your support is more important than ever.
If you value our journalism and want it to remain free and accessible for all, support us.

HOCKEY 1 - The Best Game You Can Name
May 17
29 minutes
Hockey is a hell of a lot of fun. But right now, the sport is going through a reckoning. Allegations of racism, corruption, sexual misconduct and so much more are rocking the game to its core.
But the truth is that in Canada, hockey is more than just a sport. It’s a civic religion, with a billion dollar business attached to it.
Over the next seven episodes, COMMONS will be digging into the cult of hockey, scrutinizing its doctrines and exposing its secrets.
Introducing our new season… Hockey
May 10
2 minutes
Love it or hate it, hockey is inescapable in Canada. But the sport has a dark side.
From violence and racism on the ice, to corruption, cover-ups and abuse off of it. In the latest season of COMMONS, host Arshy Mann and producers Jordan Cornish and Noor Azrieh will be bringing you stories from inside the cult of hockey.
Our new season launches early for supporters on May 17th.
Monopoly 11 - Flight Risk
Jan 18
30 minutes
It’s been a hard few years for Canadian air passengers. And while no one blames the airline oligopoly for COVID or winter storms, air travellers have had to put up with a lot.
But Canada has consumer protections to make sure that when something goes wrong, there’s a fair process in place to make sure everyday Canadians don’t get screwed over, right? Right??!
Monopoly 10 - The Way the Music Died
Jan 11
30 minutes
But Spotify, it’s nearly killed us
Ticketmaster’s ground us to dust
The companies got too large
Now monopolies are in charge

(Short Cuts) What, Me Inquiry?
May 25

The Special Rapporteur is back with a hotly anticipated release - No Public Inquiry!
HOCKEY 2 - The Birth of Black Hockey
May 24
30 minutes
Of the estimated 7000 people who have played in the NHL only around 100 of them have been Black. That’s an absurdly low number compared to any other major North American sports league.
But what makes that statistic especially shocking is the fact that the modern game has its roots with Black players on Black teams.
The Coloured Hockey League wasn’t just a sideshow to the main event of white hockey. And the way that league was targeted by the white establishment is reflective of the racism that Black players faced over the next century.

What people are saying
I found Canadaland when I was just leaving high school and wanted to learn more about the country I lived in. I enjoyed it so much that I went back and listened to your entire backlog of content. I learned a lot, developed a genuine interest in news, and picked up a lot of opinions on things I’d literally never heard of before. A few years later, I’m proud to call myself a Canadaland supporter.
-
I really appreciate the critical commentary on Canadian media - I think it helps keep those of us in the industry accountable and it also reminds news consumers to have a healthy criticism of media outlets and journalists they trust.
-
What drew me in was the Canada focus. What kept me was Canadaland focusing on telling the stories I wasn’t hearing anywhere else. You make me expand my views, which I appreciate.
