Charlie Angus on organizing a Canadian resistance
1Description
If you've seen American television discussing Canada's response to the Trump administration's trade war and annexation rhetoric, you've probably seen Charlie Angus. The longtime NDP MP (who chose to step down this year rather than seek reelection) has been the face of Canada's defiance to many Americans—and especially to his fellow Canadians. Angus has been meeting thousands of his fellow citizens at events around the country, encouraging them to stand strong and united.
What have they heard from him? What kind of message does he want us to send to Americans? How do these kind of events come about, and how can anyone organize one? Jordan and Laura speak to Charlie and ask him everything Canadians need to know about what he calls "The Resistance".

ironically or not when I posted this I was listening to Charlie Angus say "Talking Heads." I saw their lead singer David Byrne on the stage as I walked into the massive festival in Austin. this is the 1431 an amazing road I'll never see again because of Donald Trump. Your show is both enlightening and painful for grieving such a loss of such a neighbour. https://youtu.be/9z1EWAWu4QA?si=8CA5DYl4R0-RMngt
I met someone on the web. she was from Lago Vista Texas. it was Sept 18 2018 and Trump was well into his first term. I found it most fascinating. It was my first visit. I had a harder time getting back into Pearson International from Bergstrom in Austin. On the way back I was flying over Saskatchewan when Cannibas was legalized. so that was memorable. I also saw Paul Macartenay at #aclfest on Oct 12 in Zigler Park. also the Longhorn Caverns. I am sad about it all. https://youtube.com/shorts/NDZ
