Hitting Musk, Trump and rising fascism where it hurts (with Charlie Angus)

A petition to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship. A push to boycott Amazon -- for good. A confrontation during a NATO meeting in Brussels. Those are just a few of the battles NDP MP Charlie Angus has taken on.

He says he's taking the fight against fascism seriously and other politicians should too.

On today's show, Charlie Angus tells us about his fight for the future.

THIS WEEK IN NEWS:

Last week, I said Trump took a blowtorch to the international rules-based order. Well this week, he stomped on the ashes.

Germany fought off its far-right party while American conservatives spent their week throwing Nazi salutes.

Jeff Bezos and the White House took a steaming dump on press freedom.

Measles is back in the U.S. and Canada, despite being previously declared eradicated in both country — Make America Healthy Again, am I right?

The Liberals pulled ahead of the Conservatives in an Ipsos poll for the first time since 2021 as their leadership race heats up.

Over in the provinces, Danielle Smith continues to be dogged by a private healthcare scandal.

And Ontario chose its premier this week.

There's more, but I'd run out of characters! It was a huge week for news, so let me save you a doomscroll.
