Why is populism perceived to be a bad thing? Is it because it rises up in response to inequality of opportunity? That should be a good thing, drawing attention to that core problem. I don't understand why populism seems to be branded as racist etc when it is precisely the opposite. Is that because those in control of the narrative are threatened by being exposed as being exactly those things themselves? The time honoured liberal premise of freedom of speech has been trampled by the current "acceptable" narrative that completely controls the government and elitist social media. Pointing that out by the populists is a bad thing?

Very interesting and timely interview. But they miscall it with respect to

the convoy, because they don’t understand the issues and that the federal government hasn’t lifted a single discriminatory rule that fuelled the revolt. Then the Lib/NDPers put a nail in their coffin by evoking the Emergencies Act, something that will always be on their record. This will be the big factor in the next election.
