La Cartomancie de Territoire (Foretelling the Land) is a documentary that is one part video essay in contrast to images of the natural landscape of First Nation reservations, as the documentary interviews members of the First Nations as they try to reconcile with the past and look towards their future. This is what makes this documentary powerful and poetic at the same time, with an emotional grip that will hold the audience. Arising from several stays in First Nations and Inuit communities, the film examines our connection to both Indigenous and natural reserves, exploring themes of colonization, land and thought.

 It is of utmost importance to Hayden Pedigo that you know he’s from Amarillo, Texas. A place where the plains stretch on forever and the edge of town feels like the end of civilization as we know it. This great empty expanse called the Texas Panhandle is the background for Hayden Pedigo’s musical project. In numerous interviews, he’s cited Amarillo’s beautiful desolation as his greatest inspiration.

In February 1999, the Concordia Student Union fails to get accredited as a legal representative of the student body because of low voter turnout. About a year and a half later they manage to get over 50% of students to vote for accreditation. Student movements against austerity and corporatism, as well as a push for food sovereignty have also started.

This episode covers that story.

Discordia is presented by CJLO 1690AM, made with the help of volunteers at the station, and funded by the Community Radio Fund of Canada. New episodes air Mondays at 6pm on CJLO.

Have you ever had an experience that felt like a higher power pushing you towards something? Around a year ago, while walking down Rue St. Denis in a truly horrendous snowstorm, I was treated to a wonderful experience, which I now think can only be described as fate. As I walked past the bustling subterranean mecca that is Bar L’Escogriffe, a call came out to me: “Hey you! Do you like The Strokes?” Standing in the dark doorway of L’Esco was a group of 5, bundled to holy hell, beckoning me to come over to them.
