THIS WEEK: Is Alberta becoming a police-state? At least one critic thinks so, after the province's recent introduction of Bill 1. Labelled the "Critical Infrastructure Defence Act," the bill will, in the words of the Premier, create new "stiff penalties for anyone who riots on or seeks to impair critical economic infrastructure." Penalties he says are necessary in light of the "general atmosphere of lawlessness" created by recent Wet'suwet'en solidarity actions across the country.
Joining host/producer Rick Harp this week to discuss the bill and why some fear its repercussions for activism (not least, Indigenous activism) are Ken Williams, assistant professor with the University of Alberta's department of drama, and Brock Pitawanakwat, Associate Professor of Indigenous Studies at York University.
// Our theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.
