Why Jesse Is Stepping Down0:56 – 2:19

Jesse BrownHost

0:56

As for me, why? Why did I lose my job? The reason that I fired myself is because, look, my job has been to cover Canadian media and Canadian news for you.

Jesse BrownHost

1:07

But there is another story that has gotten my attention.

Jesse BrownHost

1:10

It seems to me that the Palestine issue has mutated into something way bigger than the conflict in the Middle East, way bigger than the issue that I've been talking about of antisemitism in Canada.

Jesse BrownHost

1:23

I think it's something that is badly misunderstood and badly reported on.

Jesse BrownHost

1:27

I've talked about it through a Canadian lens and through a Canadian Jewish lens, but it's so much bigger than that.

Jesse BrownHost

1:33

And I think that it's just getting started.

Jesse BrownHost

1:35

I feel the same draw to focus on this topic that I felt towards Canadian media 13 years ago.

Jesse BrownHost

1:41

Like I didn't have a choice.

Jesse BrownHost

1:42

Like I had to cover this.

Jesse BrownHost

1:44

I've learned to trust that feeling.

Jesse BrownHost

1:46

So that is what I'm going to be reporting on and talking about from now on for the foreseeable future anyhow.

Jesse BrownHost

1:54

And in order to do that, I got to give up my hosting job.

Jesse BrownHost

1:58

which was a very hard choice.

Jesse BrownHost

2:00

It is a great job.

Jesse BrownHost

2:02

I still can't believe that you gave me that job.

Jesse BrownHost

2:04

That when I asked people to send money so that I could do this podcast, enough of you did that I was able to do it and give it everything that I had for the last 13 years.

Jesse BrownHost

2:13

But now it is time for somebody else to have that job.

Jesse BrownHost

2:17

My run on CanadaLand is going to end at the end of this month.
