Description

Drug users and other marginalized people are often targeted by the far right, and the Alberta punk and hardcore scene seeks to be a safe place for them, explained PERRA’s vocalist Helen Arias, adding that the rise in punk and hardcore’s prevalence in Alberta is to create a communal voice against the UCP. Liam Hodder writes for the Weekender. Liam is a freelance journalist from Edmonton, Alberta. Published Aug. 8, 2025. https://thetyee.ca/Culture/2025/08/08/Alberta-Punks-Taking-Over/
