Interview with an anti-fascist observer about insights gained from the Public Order Emergency Commission hearings, a public inquiry into the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act to repress the so-called Freedom Convoy in February 2022. We discuss why governments invoke emergencies, OPP's Project Hendon, how the Convoy was funded, the relationship between convoy organizers and police, comparisons with #ShutDownCanada, liberal conspiracy theories, the scale of economic disruption during the Convoy, and more.

Guy Annable, the Ontario spokesperson for Yellow Vests Canada, spoke to Teviah Moro at The Spectator about the movement and frustrations about anti-fascist protesters.
Why does Canada seem to get the definition of such basic things backwards compared to most other places? Take for example the word scandal. Perhaps it is the definers of such terminology that cause such confusion. Heaven forbid the "esteemed" corporate media would be playing a role in such misinformation. Why oh why would the gatekeepers of information play such tricks? It's called narrative control and clickbait monetization. After maximum free exposure and fanfare from said corporate media, the advertised as behemoth United We Roll convoy came and went. From the definition of a safe space rally in Moosomin, SK fully stocked with an old-stock choir, the current elite of the regressive political class did their best to create the definitive Us vs Them scenario to support the diesel brigade on their quest to Ottawa. Reports of 400 big rigs descending on the Capitol Region turned out to be 10% of that. Once there the circus commenced complete with neo-nazis, xenophobes and Conservative politicians calling for the forceful elimination of Them. This is the true dread happening, but not according to corporate information purveyors. An undeniable fact is the influence of corporations on all governments of any stripe.It's how business is done. Yes, missteps get made and heads roll. But not much changes. Hypocrisy and revenue opportunity create their own circuses. Those who once called Jody Wilson-Raybould a liar now call for her sainthood. Nothing short of resignation of the Government will do. How convenient. But remember this is a circus. Truth is an inconvenience not to be waited for. There is advantage to be manufactured. Mr. Neil has had a rather quick immersion into the cdnpoli milieu by his own description. He joins The View Up Here to speak on the naivete of Canadians in general and the ruthlessness of those who capitalize from it, be they politicians or pundits. Join us for Dread and Circuses.
This week's episode features two perspectives on the right-wing "Yellow Vests Canada" movement and how anti-fascists are taking them on. Topics include: What, if anything, do these people have to do with the yellow vest movement in France? Are they workerists, xenophobes, populists, fascists or all of the above? How are neo-nazis and other fascists recruiting from inside the movement? Should we as anti-fascists treat the yellow vests like fash or like something else? What's up with the United We Roll truck convoy? Is this really a grassroots movement *for* pipelines?

The fate of 10,000 people who lost their status rests on the Abbott case decision. Jaimie Lickers, lawyer for the Mi'kmaq First Nations Assembly of Newfoundland, tells us what to expect in federal court this week. Later in the show, we take a look at Yellow Vests Canada, a group that includes Indigenous people while promoting anti-Indigenous racism.
What do warnings of globalism, support for pipelines and calls to execute Trudeau have in common? They're all part of the rhetoric of Yellow Vests Canada. CANADALAND producer David Crosbie investigates how a French working class protest against a fuel tax has inspired a right wing, populist movement holding rallies across Canada.
