Ep. 156: Liberal Smugness in the Face of Slow-Motion Genocide

This week: Crashing the Liberal party. After an advocate interrupts a recent partisan fundraiser to implore Canada's prime minister to do right by a First Nation ravaged by industrial pollution, Justin Trudeau thought it'd be funny to thank her for her 'donation' as security escorted her out. Caught on video, the glib comment hit a nerve on social media, prompting some to wonder if it could cost Liberals at the ballot box this fall, thereby prompting retaliation by Liberal supporters in turn. Joining host/producer Rick Harp once again at the roundtable this week are Candis Callison, Visiting Professor of Canadian Studies at Princeton University, and Kim TallBear, associate professor of Native Studies at the University of Alberta. // This episode was edited by Anya Zoledziowski. Our theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.
