Ep.127: Canadian “Freedom” Convoys and Post Election Doldrums with Dave Clark

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly was joined by Dave Clark from Point Blank: a Canadian campaign agency that partners with the New Democratic Party - sister party of the ALP.With the “Freedom Convoy” of anti-mandate/vaccine truckers clogging up streets and disrupting supply lines between Canada and the US, Dave explains how this has impacted life in Ottawa and the larger political implications it has nationally. Dave discusses how an Englishman came to be involved in campaigning in Canada, the difference between the New Democratic Party and the Canadian Liberal Party, and the outcomes of the recent snap elections. The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
