Noor Azrieh talks to Jesse Brown about his new Canadaland series, What Is Happening Here?

It’s no secret that Jesse Brown and Canadaland have had more than a few struggles, online and in the office, since October 7. But, eventually, Jesse Brown swore off Twitter and then the dust (and the office) settled, mostly. 

Now Jesse is about to launch a new series where he travels across Canada, mic in hand, to talk with rabbis, activists, politicians, scholars, artists, Muslims, and Jews. People whose lives haven’t been the same since October 7.

Canadaland’s Noor Azrieh couldn’t quite believe what she was hearing when Jesse announced his intent for the new show. Why re-ignite the sh*tstorm? Why now? What are you trying to achieve? What did you learn by getting off Twitter and actually getting back to reporting?

Jesse agreed to be interviewed and face those questions.
