George Stroumboulopoulos, host of CBC’s The Hour (he never introduces himself as “your host”, always, endearingly, as “your boyfriend”) interviews Chris Hedges, author of American Fascists:
Hedges makes the interesting and useful point that the reason Canada doesn’t have a fundie-dominionist problem is because we still have some semblance of a social safety net. He observes that fascism takes hold when there is prolonged instability and insecurity in a country. His only fault, as far as I can see, is that he doesn’t see it is already happening in the United States.
