After announcing that he would not seek re-election as the NDP Member of Parliament for Timmins–James Bay, Charlie Angus has stepped into a new role — as a vocal leader in what he calls Canada's "resistance" against U.S. President Donald Trump, fascism, and rising threats to democracy.

This week on rabble radio, Charlie Angus joins rabble editor Nick Seebruch to discuss The Resistance, the growing threat of "maple MAGA," and how everyday Canadians are pushing back against creeping U.S. influence and far-right politics in their own communities.
