Thanks for the article but I found them dismissive of Canada’s situation. Yes, they have a global perspective but don’t feel they grasped the impact of invoking the emergencies act.

I feel exactly the same way. It wasn’t the focus of their article, I realize, but they gave the truckers’ protest only a superficial treatment, with no real understanding of what drove this “populist” uprising. The feelings and experiences behind this protest, and the way it was handled by the government and media, will not go away anytime soon, so people purporting to analyze populist movements should make an effort to truly understand the reasons driving them, on the basis of people’s real-life experiences, and not just plotting graphs.
I agree. Reaching a conclusion by only reading the published literature leads to a particular bias where you are only seeing things from the lens of a particular class. And although you stated that calling them deplorables and racist is ineffective you seem to still have the same sort of dismissive attitude towards the working class who were most affected in the last two years. You are so tone deaf that your solution (Capital Gains Tax) to a real problem would lead to even further inequity.
