Episode Fifty-One: PMJT's Loud Firm Voice (feat. Doug Nesbitt)

It's a good one, folks.

Tannara, Drew & James chat about the epic Alberta and B.C. stand-off, Trudeau's town halls, Scott Gilmore's shockingly good suggestion about the military, a CBC interview with Jordan P and which song should be Canada's new anthem. We also interview Doug Nesbitt, an editor at Rank & File and activist with Fight for $15, about the recent Unifor-CNC split and what it means for the Canadian labour landscape (the interview starts at about the 47 minute mark if you want to skip straight to it!)

Here's a link to Gilmore's amazing article: http://www.macleans.ca/politics/ottawa/weve-given-up-on-canadas-military-so-lets-abandon-it-altogether/

And Drew's recent piece about pipeline federalism: https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/wj4qwm/bc-and-alberta-are-going-to-war-over-pipelines

And Rank & File's excellent analysis of the Unifor split: http://rankandfile.ca/2018/01/17/unifor-clc-split-demands-unity-from-below/
