Episode 13: Freedom Convoy & Hateful Hangers-On
The "Freedom Convoy" taking place in Ottawa and across Canada has sparked intense debate. What is this new protest movement all about, and what do we do about the mandates that have caused it? Thousands of truckers and other protestors have made their way to our nation’s capital to voice their concerns with the federal government, yet there appear to be some people here with other agendas.
For this episode of Resuming Debate, I am joined by Anthony Housefather, Liberal MP for Mount Royal, and Melissa Lantsman, Conservative MP for Thornhill and Transportation Shadow Minister. Both MPs are Jewish and represent ridings with large Jewish communities. We investigate the various narratives present at the Freedom Convoy, the need to consistently call out antisemitism, the government’s handling of the pandemic, and the need for Canadians to find common ground amidst an ever-growing political divide.
