## Resource

In these turbulent times, filled with lies and disinformation, we face unprecedented challenges that threaten our very way of life. From the Trump regime's alarming attacks on Canada's sovereignty to JD Vance's close associate, Jamil Jivani, leading a Conservative delegation on a questionable trade mission to Washington without any authority to negotiate, it's clear our sovereignty is in jeopardy. Pierre Poilievre's refusal to obtain a high-level security clearance raises serious questions about accountability, while the separatist actions are growing in Danielle Smith's Alberta, and Doug Ford is hiding from the Greenbelt Scandal through authoritarian laws that stifle Freedom of Information, even as his popularity plummets following the Gravy Plane fiasco. Meanwhile, our cities are bombarded by right-wing myths like the war on the car that endanger public well-being. Is Prime Minister Mark Carney doing enough to stave off the threats and build our nation? This is where we must make our stand. Join globally renowned urban planner and co-founder of the Urban Truth Collective, Brent Toderian, and host Laura Babcock for an eye-opening discussion on protecting our cities, our country, and our democracy from far-right attacks. This conversation goes beyond theory; it offers tangible messaging strategies and urban planning insights to equip us for the battles ahead. Don't miss this critical and informative dialogue about the urgent realities we face as a nation. Together, we can push back against these challenges. Hype it up, subscribe, and share your thoughts! We are all in this together, and now is the time to act! #democracy #canadanews #canada #canadastrong #carney #trump #alberta #ontario #dougford #fightford #poilievre #elbowsup #canadianpodcast #canadianpolitics #Finla…
