    Canadian Immigration and ICE

    ICE raids, mass deportations and communities resisting it all. Will the images filling our screens serve as a cautionary tale, or will Canadians convince themselves that those kinds of abuses wouldn't happen here? Hosts Santiago Helou Quintero and Jessa McLean try to answer that with discussions on recent Liberal legislation (Bill C12), the Safe Third Country Agreement we have with the United States, and the impact its already having on migrants.

    Liberals, Immigration and the Lies They Tell the Working Class

    Trudeau's Liberals Backtrack on Promises to Migrants, Scapegoating Them Instead of Legislating Status for All. Hosts Jessa McLean and Santiago Helou Quintero unpack some of the worst narratives around immigration in Canada right now. With the Liberals introducing policy that goes along with the Conservative talking points, there is a real danger of the working class losing ground to racism and xenophobia. Both tools of Capital. Hear about the work being done on the ground to combat this, and what you can do to join those efforts.

    Lipstick on the Same Capitalist Pig

    We need system change, not just a leadership change or political party makeovers. All of this focus on political leaders and their personalities has our hosts frustrated. What is it about leadership races and elections that makes people forget about the issues most important to them? Here are a few episodes related to this discussion: Leadership Cults in Politics: On the trappings of playing to the leader vs. leader narrative, why they exist and how we can move away from these 'leadership cults' in politics. Our Leaders Are Landlords: 4 of the 5 federal Party leaders are now landlords. Why do we keep electing wealthy people to lead the working class? Is this what Representative Democracy looks like? ___________________ This content is a creation of Rabble Rousers Co-operative and is only made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.
