Isaac Peltz interviews Yves Engler, a controversial and important political figure in the leftist scene in Canada. Many people have criticized Engler and decried his aggressive, in your face style, but is it well deserved? Isaac dives right into Engler's life, they talk about growing up in a labour family, political awakening, and approaching a bid at leadership for Canada's left wing party, the NDP. In this highly engaging conversation, Engler doesn't hold back, and talks about an establishment campaign being tallied together to prevent him from having the impact he wants to, whether it be for Palestine, or for socialism in Canada. How complicit is Canada in violent displacement of world leaders? Let's find out today, on the trail.
