Read the transcript of this podcast: https://therealnews.com/canadas-freedom-convoy-has-taken-a-christian-nationalist-turnEarlier this year, Canada's 'Freedom Convoy' movement stormed the nation's capital at Ottawa and occupied the grounds of the Parliamentary building for weeks to demand an end to vaccine mandates and other protective measures against COVID-19. The movement quickly spread to other Canadian and nearby US cities, despite vocal condemnations from Canadian labor organizations, including the Teamsters. Although the 'Freedom Convoy' seemed to come out of nowhere for most observers, its origins lay in an earlier 2019 convoy movement of truckers and small farmers opposed to carbon taxes. Since the Ottawa blockade, the convoy movement has taken an increasingly Christian nationalist turn, with some elements advocating a divine mission to overthrow the Canadian government. Emily Leedham joins the Marc Steiner Show to discuss the history of the 'Freedom Convoy,' and what its merger with the religious right could mean for Canada's future.Emily Leedham is PressProgress' prairies reporter.

For over a month, Canada has been rocked by a “Freedom Convoy” of demonstrators and vehicle blockades that ultimately converged on the capital city of Ottawa in protest of COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions. Having garnered support from conservative media, some members of Canada's parliament, and prominent online voices like Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson, the convoy quickly became a cultural and political flashpoint that revealed both how the far right is mobilizing and how the left needs to respond. In this segment of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Canadian journalists Emily Leedham and Dru Oja Jay about their experience covering the convoy, the mix of organic and astroturfed grievances that were on display, and what the demonstrations say about the terrain of right-wing politics in Canada today.Emily Leedham is the Prairies Reporter for PressProgress, an award-winning nonprofit news organization in Canada that focuses on holding the rich and powerful accountable, exposing unfair and unhealthy working conditions, and shining a light on hate and bigotry.

In case you missed the 12 hour livestream telethon to raise money for Harbinger Media, here's the audio for our part of the event! Big Shiny Takes (minus Eric, he was at a wedding lol) took part in this great event. Our friends from PressProgress Stephen Magusiak and Emily Leedham joined us to read a column arguing for the platforming of fascists in mainstream media. If you missed this insipid column by John Ibbitson (a "national treasure" according to Justin Ling) and the subsequent blowback on social media for even considering to write a piece like that, you should listen to this episode. Keep in mind that this episode was recorded prior to the very important and necessary federal election we just had.Plugs and Recs Subscribe to the Orchard (Jeremy's substack) and Shift Work (Emily's newsletter)And support us on Patreon!

A wide-ranging conversation with Emily Leedham touching on the Stella's Café strike in Winnipeg, the Saskatchewan election and corporate money, and the tactics of union-busting. Guest host: Doug Nesbitt, editor of Rankandfile.ca.
Big Shiny Takes is back with an episode on a columnist that is truly memorable for all the wrong reasons, Margaret Wente. But first we briefly discuss the WE scandal engulfing Canadian news, before launching into a discussion of tHe LetTeR and cAnCeL cUlTuRe to set the scene for Wente's woe-is-me shtick. If you haven't been keeping track, Wente was recently appointed to a meaningless college society/illuminati front called The Quadrangle Society. This was met with criticism due to several wrinkles in Wente's career (plagiarism, defending race science, writing dumb anti-environmentalist columns). As we find out in her column published in Quillette, the world's leading phrenology journal, the appointment didn't go the way she had planned, but she is definitely not upset about it.

On episode 125 Emily Leedham, James Wilt and host Andre Goulet talk COVID19 in Manitoba, call out the CERB for leaving undocumented workers behind and explore why the left’s response to the recent Winnipeg PD murders and to police killings everywhere should be to call for the abolition of the police.

School has started for some and is starting again soon for others. That is why on today's episode, with returning guest Emily Leedham(community organizer & host of @RFRadioPrairie), we discuss in depth the numerous mass killings that have been occurring. We delve into why the number of mass killings have risen to scary numbers, what Fascism and Anti-fascism are, what you can tell your students, or even your own children, and what we can do to fight back against Fascism in our schools and community. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Little Red School House focuses on issues with our current education system and ways we can empower students, educators, and anyone who cares about education. Shouldn’t people be put before profits? Shouldn’t our children be educated to grow and learn instead of being treated like the means to the financial gain of those in power? If you agree with this so-called “radical” and “revolutionary” perspective, you’ve come to the right place! Join educators Gord Milstone and John Battalion as they call out systemic problems and discuss how we can break down barriers in the educational system.

On this episode, we are joined by Emily Leedham who is a host on @RFRadioPrairie, a union news show for the prairie provinces in Canada. She has been an organizer for #15andFareness which is the movement to ensure minimum wage is a livable wage. Emily joins us to talk about union history, strikes, changes within union movements, cross-union solidarity, and how educators have historically been front-line actors in workers’ rights struggles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Little Red School House focuses on issues with our current education system and ways we can empower students, educators, and anyone who cares about education.

This week, in between coughing fits, I touch on the most recent failed coup in Venezuela & the perverse right wing media reaction to the latest white nationalist synagogue shooting, then Emily Leedham joins me to talk about the counter protest outside the Linda Sarsour event last week in Winnipeg, her run-in with Rebel Media, how we can disrupt these toxic conservative elements, the importance of anti-racist community outreach and much more.

Broadcast date is April 14, 2019. Hosted by Emily Leedham. Today on the show, Robert Lee, an industrial electrician based in Alberta who has spent the last several years working on and off in the oil sands. Workers in the oil and gas industry have been used as a talking point by the Alberta NDP and United Conservative Party, both parties say they are the best choice for workers to get the trans mountain pipeline built and create more jobs in the industry. Albertans go to the polls on Tuesday, April 16th. He’s an industrial electrician and oilfield automation programmer from Blackie, Alberta. He also teaches drop-in classes on handyman and home renovation topics for several continuing education facilities in Calgary. He's a married father of two, has worked as an electrician for 13 years, and was one of the first people in Canada to be CSA certified in solar power installation. He has worked on and off in the oil sands and provides a bit of a window into the realities of working in the Patch, and why strong unions and labour standards matter for oil patch workers, and the challenges involved in building solidarity between migrant and non-migrant workers. -Links- https://www.pipestoneflyer.ca/provincial-election/no-government-can-bring-back-alberta-oil-boom-experts-say/ https://thenarwhal.ca/are-albertans-collecting-a-fair-share-of-oilsands-wealth/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/suicide-rate-alberta-increase-layoffs-1.3353662 https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-alberta-opioid-overdose-fatalities-hit-record-levels-last-year-data/ -Previous episodes on oil sands work-- https://soundcloud.com/rfradio-prairie/fundraising-for-a-migrant-workers-organizing-centre-marco-luciano-migrante-alberta https://soundcloud.com/rfradio-prairie/the-saskatchewan-co-op-strikes-can-steel-workers-build-more-than-pipelines https://soundcloud.com/rfradio-prairie/a-just-transition-for-albertas-workers-dr-angele-alook-aupe-farid-iskandar-climate-justice-yeg -Donate on Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/rfradioprairie -Social Media- Twitter.com/emily_leedham_ Twitter.com/rfradioprairie -More labour news- www.rankandfile.ca

Here to provide a bit of insight into the working conditions at the fulfillment center in Alberta is a worker I’ll refer to as "M" to protect their identity. M was a seasonal Amazon worker through November and December, hired for “peak” season, meaning she would work anywhere from 40-60 hours a week. ---Amazon--- https://www.facebook.com/rachelnotley/videos/amazon-has-chosen-balzac-near-calgary-as-the-location-of-its-first-warehouse-in-/10155648902331427/ https://dailyhive.com/calgary/amazon-second-alberta-fulfillment-centre https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/amazon-warehouse-lockdown-1.4931224 https://www.businessinsider.com/brutal-conditions-in-amazons-warehouses-2013-8 Correction: In the episode, it is stated that Pennsylvania fulfillment centre workers were fainting from heat in 2018.

Today’s broadcast date is December 16, 2018. I’m your host, Emily Leedham. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has filed a constitutional challenge to the Liberal government’s Canada Post Act, which ended the union’s rotating strikes, and imposed a mediator between the union and Canada Post. Any CUPW members found in violation of this act can face thousands of dollars in fines. First on the show, we’ll hear from Charles Smith, University of Saskatchewan professor and co-author of Unions in Court: Organized Labour and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, on the legal history behind the right to strike, whether the Liberal’s act is different from the Conservative’s back to work legislation in 2011, and what this legal fight will look like going forward. Since CUPW cannot violate the Canada Post Act, other unions and supporters across Canada have engaged in civil disobedience, setting up solidarity pickets, shutting down Canada Post plants and depots. Pickets have gone up in Vancouver, Edmonton, Missasauga, Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax and others. On December 2nd, six out of 30 solidarity picketers were arrested in Halifax. A few days later, three people out of 40 protesters were arrested in Ottawa. So far, there have been no other arrests across Canada. Later in the show, we’ll hear from Suzanne McNeil, president of the Halifax Dartmouth & District Labour Council, talking about how labour can organize and support members participating in civil disobedience. Her husband Tony Tracy was one of the six protesters arrested earlier this month. https://www.ubcpress.ca/unions-in-court https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/halifax-protest-outside-canada-post-plant-leads-to-6-arrests-1.4929691

And Don Kossick, activist and organizer in Saskatoon, co-op member and former UFCW negotiator, shares a bit of historical context for the co-op strike and what it might mean for the future of co-op going forward. Don produces a community radio program Making the Links on CFCR 90.5 FM.

First, Anna Sigrithur from the West Broadway Tenants Association addresses illegal Armour Property Management reno-victions - and an information session on November 14th to help provide support and action for affected tenants. Then, former employees of the popular local chain Stella’s Cafe & Restaurant come forward with allegations of systemic and ongoing harassment and abuse from upper management. These employees created an Instagram account called #NotMyStellas on Thursday to collect and share anonymous stories from other past and present Stella’s workers. They have created a list of demands - including the immediate removal of two members of upper management. ---Make Armour Pay--- https://www.facebook.com/events/1243070539164081/ https://news.vice.com/en_ca/article/d3qajk/landlords-across-canada-are-pushing-tenants-out-with-renovations ---#NotMyStellas--- https://www.instagram.com/notmystellas/ https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/social-media-storm-of-allegations-rocks-stellas-500171192.html Press conference video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHXPjioC_Vw&feature=youtu.be ---UFCW 1400--- https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/unhappy-saskatoon-co-op-members-target-board-over-strike-1.4894005 https://thestarphoenix.com/news/local-news/saskatoon-co-op-files-unfair-labour-practice-complaints-as-strike-continues https://www.facebook.com/ufcw.local1400/posts/1367769753357995 ---Life Flight Air Ambulance--- https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/lifeflight-doctors-speak-out-against-privatizing-air-ambulance-service-499455471.html https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/kzj4yv/western-canada-is-still-struggling-to-replace-cancelled-greyhound-service ---- Fight for $15 - Building Your Activist Toolkit --- https://www.facebook.com/events/722390721427932/
