Meidas Canada

A year ago Trump insulted our nation and said he would break us economically. He said we didn't "have the cards" to resist. Canada's determination to stand up to the threat shocked the world. We took the fight to the MAGA economy. In this episode Meidas Canada looks at where we are one year into the American war.

We are creating a global network of resisters in the age of gangster fascism. Canada is on the front lines of this fight, and we are reaching out to our cousins around the globe. The fight for democracy is here, and we're ready to rumble.

Canada is taking the unprecedented step of establishing a 300,000-person citizen's army to defend our nation. This sends a clear message to Trump and the world that Canada understands the threat. We will defend our land. We will not roll over. Meidas Touch and Meidas Canada are working together to give you a clear picture of how to resist the gangster oligarchs. Message to Pete Hoekstra - FAFO!!!

We're sharing the great feedback we've received from people across the globe who are joining the Meidas Canada network.

Mexico's progressive government has pulled over 8 million people out of poverty. There are so many lessons to be learned from their efforts.

While there, Charlie also visited one of the newly established community Utopia - an incredible model for community development. ______________________________________________________________________ Support MeidasCanada: Subscribe to The Resistance Substack: charlieangus.substack.com Follow MeidasCanada: Facebook: @meidascanada Instagram: @meidascanada Bluesky: @meidascanada.ca

Over 150 Canadians, including children, have been kidnapped off the streets by ICE. In Trump's first six months, he has moved from kidnapping people to setting up cages as concentration camps. Meidas Canada calls out the attack on the rule of law and the establishment of American concentration camps. We need to speak up for all those being held without trial or access to legal representation and their families.

Gaza is being destroyed brick by brick. There is appalling silence from Western leaders over the deliberate starvation of the families and children. Grandmothers Against Genocide is a powerful grassroots movement of resistance, teaching us lessons in how to kick at the darkness. Charlie Angus, the host of Meidas Canada, recently attended a vigil in Toronto where Grandmothers gather at Bay and Bloor every Wednesday at 8 am. Vigils are now taking place across the country.

Canada is about to be rocked by the rage storm coming in the form of MAGA MAPLE leader Pierre Poilievre, stoking fears of immigration. He is using the temporary foreign worker program as the Trojan horse to drive the rage machine. This is all about the extremist dog whistles. This is the far right playbook in action. Anti-immigrant disinformation has been used across Europe and in the United States. Once MAPLE MAGA and the MAGA ALBERTA separatist gang begin to stoke divisions, that's when Trump will ramp up the pressure on our nation. The storm is coming, and we need to be prepared. We can get through this if we hold the line. Thanks to Moe's Latté in Charlottetown for allowing me to film at his beautiful shop.

Albertans stood up this week against Danielle Smith's book-banning scheme. But don't get fooled by Smith's backtracking. This isn't just another dumb MAGA-Alberta blunder. The fascist playbook is about attacking knowledge, attacking science and undermining women's rights. On this episode, we explore the connections between Danielle Smith and MAGA's most dangerous guru - RFK Jr. We're examining the connection between banning books and the war on vaccine science.

Meidas Canada is bringing you on the road with us to the beautiful province of Newfoundland. It's part of building the global boycott against MAGA. Canadian resistance has hammered Ron DeSantis' Florida especially hard. But we encourage you to take it further. Don't spend a dime in a state that brags about setting up concentration camps and targeting the LGBTQ community. Meidas Canada host Charlie Angus has a better solution: we invite you to come from away to beautiful Newfoundland, a place where they welcome you and don't put people in cages.
