Summary

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and long-time colleague, Dr. James Pritchard, to talk about the new anti-hate legislation that has been introduced by the Canadian government. We talk about how this legislation is being used as a tool to hold up a particular narrative of hate, and how the government uses identity politics as a means to target and punish those that disagree with them.

00:00:00.000 Are there cross-burnings in Winnipeg?
00:00:03.100 You know, not that I'm aware of. I do know that there are hate-filled acts going on in this country,
00:00:09.460 but I dare to say not in the same way that this government wants to portray and announce
00:00:16.100 the issues of hate across this country. So it's a very dark day for our country, quite frankly,
00:00:20.780 as they set up what I believe is a mechanism, a tool, even a weapon to basically hold up a
00:00:30.980 particular narrative of hate, I would say really through kind of a Marxist lens, where it's about
00:00:38.320 identity politics. It's about identifying groups that are part of your constituency and mobilizing
00:00:46.000 them so that they can actually fine, penalize, and put in jail those that disagree with them.
