Introducing our latest long-form investigative series. From Thunder Bay to The White Saviors to Cool Mules, Canadaland has a record of reporting and publishing complicated, difficult and nuanced stories that other media can’t or won’t. The Copernic Affair is no different. Acclaimed journalists Dana Ballout and Alex Atack have been working for years on our latest investigative series The Copernic Affair. It is a big, decades spanning investigation about how Hassan Diab, an unassuming sociology professor in Ottawa, ended up the prime suspect in a terrorism investigation that French authorities have been trying to solve since the 1980s. Is he a terrorist? Or a scapegoat? The Copernic Affair launches in late-January, but we are bringing you the first episode today. Canadaland supporters can listen to the first two episodes right now and the rest of it, each week.  Canadaland is offering early access to supporters.
