I'm looking forward to reading Adolph Reed and Walter Benn Michaels latest book about this. Also Freddie DeBoer's new book should be coming to my local library soon. There are more of us than most people might think.
Another excellent conversation, Tara. I must congratulate you on your insightful writing, excellent choices of guests and thoughtful & relevant topics. I have yet to feel like skipping one!

The new Angus Reid poll has much useful data. Lots to digest. https://angusreid.org/canada-culture-wars-free-speech-cancel-culture-censorship/

Interesting to listen to the concept of "populism" being presented as negative. What's wrong with populism?
