Episode 36: Maplewashing — Looking Behind Canada’s Progressive Veneer
Manage episode 205471021 series 2158821
For decades, Canada has been a go-to point of reference for American progressives as a country the United States can and should strive to be. And while there are many parts about Canadian society that are measurably preferable, leftists in Canada find their country's glossy, socialist paradise image to be overblown and often a barrier to meaningful change.
This episode examines this tension, the reality versus perception, what we can learn from each other, and the common and existential thread we share of white settler-colonialism.
With guests Eriel Tchekwie Deranger of Indigenous Climate Action and writer Luke Savage.
