Short Cuts is a weekly media criticism show where our hosts talk shit about the news.
Short Cuts
Hosted by Jesse Brown
Each week we take you behind the headlines – bringing you expert analysis, heated opinion and thoughtful debate on the stories everybody is talking about and the ones they aren’t but should be.
As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, the CBC’s longstanding policy towards reporting on acts of terrorism suddenly became an international story.
As trade negotiations broke down, Canadian streaming policy, CanCon requirements, and French language discoverability have taken a surprisingly central role in the narrative.
As trade talks break down between Canada and the US, the race is on to fill in the details. Both Carney and US Trade Representative Jameson Greer are offering their versions of the final hours of negotiations.
E-scooters are making headlines as a dangerous transportation option. From Xav Trudeau not wearing a helmet in an e-Scooter ad, to editorials calling them a scourge.
