Mamdani's TikTok politics and Canada's Indigenous and property rights dilemma
Description
Leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum and The Hub’s editor-at-large Sean Speer discuss New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's rise as a TikTok-powered progressive populist. They explore how his left-wing populism may signal a new, popular progressive auxiliary to Trumpism that could have political implications beyond New York City.
On the back half of the show, they discuss the B.C. court decision granting Indigenous land rights over privately-owned property, and whether Canada's reconciliation framework has created an unsustainable "fourth level of government" that harms property rights and economic development.
