CBC puts an end to Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap after just 16 years of self-indulgent, uninspiring radio. What will take its place? And it turns out one of the reporters who's most friendly to Doug Ford is in a relationship with the Premier's director of media relations.

A site called SeaWestNews describes Alexandra Morton as “BC's loudest anti-salmon farming activist,” and her writing as “rambling” and “conspiracy-laden.”
Originally a whale biologist from California, Morton was shocked into activism when her research revealed the devastating results of industrialized salmon farming.
Since then, she's been subject to attack campaigns meant to discredit her, intimidated by sea Mounties, and surveilled by armed operatives in boats with tinted windows. And she's exposed the salmon industry's influence on the government department meant to protect the oceans.
It's all documented in her book, Not on My Watch: How a renegade whale biologist took on governments and industry to save wild salmon.

Ari Ben-Menashe has been an Israeli spy, sold weapons to Iran, survived a firebombing, and been the target of at least one RCMP investigation. He crossed paths with Jeffrey Epstein. And he's worked for Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe, Libya's Khalifa Haftar, and Sudan's Transitional Military Council.
Ben-Menashe runs the lobbying firm Dickens & Madson (Canada), based Montreal.
And on March 5th, it was reported that he'd been awarded a US$2 million contract to lobby the U.S. and other governments on behalf of the military generals in Myanmar who seized power in a coup on February 1st.
Julian Pecquet broke that story for his site ForeignLobby.com, and he tells Jesse what he knows about Ben-Menashe, his source.

A Haitian senator's wife paid $4.25 million—all money down—for a house in Laval, Quebec. Meanwhile in Haiti, people have been protesting against corruption, kidnapping, and a president who they say is over-staying his term in office. How do we talk about Haiti without reproducing unhelpful tropes and stereotypes?
Vélina Elysée Charlier, an activist with Nou Pap Dòmi, joins us from Port-au-Prince to explain why Haitians are taking to the streets.
Canadaland's French-language media correspondent Emilie Nicolas breaks down how these events are resonating in Montreal's Haitian community, and discusses how Canadian media should report on Haiti to avoid facile and racist clichés.
Then Ottawa-based activist Jean Jafrikayiti Saint-Vil makes the case for why doing that work is so vital.
