Episode 46 - The Freedom Convoy and The Perils of Left Populism

Cam Scott is a poet, musician, and local organizer from Winnipeg, and he's on the show to speak to us about an article he's written. We're talking about the 'freedom convoy' or 'trucker convoy' or whatever you'd like to call it. This conversation is about the difference between populist movements and peoples' movements, and why the left should be cautious when considering the use of populist politics, and why the convoy is not a workers' movement.
