The streets of Ottawa, provincial legislatures and certain international border crossings are jammed with trucks this weekend as convoy protesters fan out across the country.
Our question this week: What's your reaction to the Ottawa standoff and the border blockades? Is Canada becoming dangerously polarized?
Featuring Christian Leuprecht, associate professor of political science at the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University, on how to deescalate the protests; Zain Velji, a political strategist with the firm Northweather, and Peter Loewen, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto and the director of the Munk School of Public Affairs and Public Policy, on the rising polarization in Canada; and Elisabeth Anker, author of Ugly Freedoms, on how the word "freedom" is being used by protesters. |
