What is Happening Here: Travis Dhanraj in Conversation with CANADALAND's Jesse Brown

The Al Green Theatre Presents:

What Is Happening Here — a new podcast from CANADALAND — comes to the stage for a live, in-depth conversation about how Canada’s media landscape is responding to one of the most polarizing moments in recent history.

Journalist and publisher Jesse Brown draws on reporting from What Is Happening Here, his series examining the rise of anti-Jewish hate in Canada, the debate over antisemitism and anti-Zionism, and how October 7, 2023 has reshaped public discourse. Grounded in careful reporting, this conversation asks difficult questions about how a country that prides itself on diversity is navigating a profound moment of reckoning — and how media coverage shapes public understanding.

Hosted by former CBC journalist Travis Dhanraj, President & founder of Westbridge Strategies, a firm focused on media strategy, crisis communications, and high-impact content creation. He brings two decades of experience working at the intersection of journalism, public affairs, and narrative strategy. This live event creates space for thoughtful, nuanced discussion about journalism, public debate, and responsibility in a rapidly shifting media environment.
