8. The Nitty Gritty: Capitalism & Fascism

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, speaking on Day 19 of the campaign from Milton, Ont., says he will respect the results of the election, no matter the outcome. The question to Poilievre came as some Conservative supporters have questioned polls, which when aggregated show Liberals leading Poilievre's party.

Campaign promise is an “intrusion on university autonomy and academic freedom.”

OPINION: What would a “war on woke” look like for Canada if Poilievre wins?

This federal election may be the most consequential of our times and as such, it is our duty to hold the leaders to account for assertions that are fact-checkable.

The election of Mark Carney as the leader of the Liberals and prime minister is getting mixed reviews from Indigenous members of the party.

Truckers who participated in a cross-country convoy culminating in protest at Parliament Hill this weekend have been duped into believing the convoy was

Anti-democratic forces like the trucker convoy are subverting the idea of freedom in service of right-wing extremism.

Conservatives in the U.S. have fallen in love with the fringe protests led by Canadian truckers. It is a cause that unites the libertarian and extremist wings of the GOP and offers a new front in the culture wars

Workers in Canada’s trucking industry have suffered during the pandemic. The “Freedom Convoy,” a right-wing, pro-business social movement, purports itself to be the people’s champion of liberty — yet it couldn't care less about the hardships and burdens of its fellow workers.

You are not guaranteed the freedom to spread a deadly virus.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act to deal with the fascist “trucker” convoy has been met with a mix of support, criticism, and confusion. While Trudeau and his government claim that this is necessary to respond to the situation, many of us on the left remain skeptical, having witnessed first-hand the power of police protest control in the absence of the Emergencies Act. So why did the federal government take such a drastic step? First, the border blockades at Coutts in Alberta and the Ambassador Bridge in Ontario were effective enough that they began to hurt sections of big capital. Officials in Michigan used the opportunity to champion Buy-American initiatives. In Windsor, a coalition of auto companies was able to obtain an injunction against the blockade.

Andrew Lawton talks about his book on the occupation of Ottawa, what the media got wrong, and how to reach people beholden to conspiracy theories.

However strongly we leftists may disagree with the objectives, values or opinions of participants in the “freedom convoy,” if we support the government’s use of emergency powers in these circumstances, then it is only a matter of time before the government turns those extraordinary powers against us. According to lawyer, author and activist Dimitri Lascaris, that is the last thing we need.

'We're saying that this is a far-right convoy because — from day one — the organizers themselves are part of the far-right movement,' said Evan Balgord, Canadian Anti-Hate Network.

“Let’s assume there were people who do have a Confederate flag ... I don’t care … I want to hear unacceptable opinions”

CTVNews.ca spoke with more than half a dozen Ottawa residents who live at the centre of where the trucker protests took place, and they shared very similar experiences on the lingering mental-health effects from the Freedom Convoy’s occupation of their streets and neighbourhood.

“Accelerate, accelerate, there’s no way out,” says Diagolon’s de facto leader Jeremy MacKenzie. “This is going to come to total shit, so let’s just get it over with.”
