Paratroopers (S4 E9)

There is a lot more to being a Paratrooper than jumping out of a plane, Master Corporal Nataniel Bergeron Sénécal can attest to that. He is an instructor and jump master with the 3rd Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment. In this episode he gives insight into the world of a Paratrooper - the training, equipment, tactics, techniques, and more. You may also be surprised by who can be a Paratrooper. **Spoiler alert** It’s not only for members of the Infantry.

Episode 13: Raining Dirt

When the Twin Towers fell on 9-11, Patrick Gordon knew his calling was to join the military and "do his part." As a result, he served with the Lord Strathcona's armoured regiment for three tours in Afghanistan, which included several terrifying & traumatic experiences under fire while in a tank. Upon retirement, diagnosed with PTSD and physical injuries, Patrick commenced a plan to combat the hunger experienced by a disturbingly high number of school children in Saint John, New Brunswick.

Disinformation (S4 E6)

Bombs and bullets are not the only threats to our soldiers. Online disinformation is also being used as a weapon, and it’s one they face both on deployment and at home.

They explain the disinformation ecosystem that affects the military community and give us advice on how to separate fact from fiction.

Here are some online tools that can help you counter disinformation:

Carapatage #39 : Le contrôle des allocataires (16.11.2022)

Une émission sur le contrôle des allocataires, notamment de la CAF et de Pôle emploi. On veut parler de la taule vue dans son ensemble, à savoir pas seulement les quatre murs de la cellule, mais aussi tous ce qui, à l'extérieur, participe de l'enfermement. Il y a les maillons de la chaine les plus évidents comme les flics et les tribunaux. Et puis il y a une continuité moins directe avec toute une panoplie d'outils de contrôle, qui sont moins violent ou contraignant qu'une cellule de prison, mais qui cherchent aussi à enfermer nos existences dans le carcan de l’État. Dans cette émission, on va parler du contrôle des allocataires, ou plutôt comment l'Etat, avec ses institutions sociales, cherche à dicter nos vies d'un côté selon les droits qu'ils nous accordent et dont on devrait se contenter, et de l'autre, selon les sanctions qu'il nous inflige dès lors qu'on cherche à avoir plus. On va parler d'abord des origines de ces institutions et de ce qu'elles deviennent aujourd'hui. Puis on va parler des différentes formes de contrôles qu'elles peuvent exercer mais aussi des combines et des solidarités qui peuvent permettre d'en limiter l'emprise.

CARAPATAGE, contre toutes les cages !
