Listen "Are politicians running out of tools?"
Episode Synopsis
Quebec: under curfew. Ontario: under a stay-at-home order. Manitoba: under lockdown for an extra two weeks. Many Canadians have seen their public health restrictions grow progressively tighter in recent days, but all this has Rosie and Elamin wondering: how many more tools do politicians have at their disposal? As cases continue to rise and we await more vaccinations — which are still weeks and months away, for most of the population — is trust in people and trust in leadership at risk of eroding? Plus, in light of last week’s attacks on the U.S. Capitol, the two examine the presence of far-right extremism in Canada and how politicians are acting in response to it. Are we hearing an echo of American politics reverberate north of the border?
