Jacobin Radio w/ Suzi Weissman: Canada’s Alt-Right Rage

Suzi talks to Canadian Labor historian Bryan Palmer about the so-called "Freedom Convoy" of truckers that held Ottawa hostage for three weeks, clogging the streets of the city as well as the US-Canadian border crossings from New Brunswick to British Columbia. Bryan calls this "Canada’s alt-right freedom rage," and while protesters said they were opposing state mandates related to the pandemic, their target is the liberal government of Justin Trudeau. They are a well-funded movement with parallels to the alt-right in the US, what Bryan calls “the lumpen petty bourgeoisie doing its revolting thing!" Hosted on Acast.
