Charlie Angus: “Gangster Fascism,” Canadian Unity, and NDP’s Future
About this episode
Steve and Charlie discuss the current political climate in Canada, the rise of authoritarianism, and the future of the NDP amidst separatist movements in Alberta and Quebec.
Welcome to the first collaboration between The Paikin Podcast and Charlie Angus’s Meidas Canada. Steve and Charlie get into how we should understand this moment in history, how we are in a “new age of monsters,” and the rising authoritarian threat. They then discuss fears they have for the future of Canada, the two separatisms in Alberta and Quebec, whether Avi Lewis was the right choice for the NDP, where the NDP goes from here, and whether the left can build a durable populism that can rival right wing populism.
