Troublemaker Radio (with Joel Harden)

By Joel Harden

Troublemaker Radio is about making trouble - good trouble - in a world beholden to narrow thinking. We talk to community organizers who think big, defy conventions, and work for transformative change. The show is produced by Joel Harden, Member of Provincial Parliament for Ottawa Centre.

My World's on Fire, How 'Bout Yours?

My World's on Fire, How 'Bout Yours?

On this episode, the whole office team got together for an impromptu panel discussion about our COVID-19 perspectives, the recent Capitol conflagration, and right-wing extremism in Canada. I hope you brought your flame-resistant pants, because we dish out our hot takes on a world that seems to be catching. 

FACT CHECK: We recorded this episode earlier this week, prior to the release of new information regarding the events at the Capitol Building in D.C. and prior to the provincial Stay At Home Order.

  1. Initial reports indicated that police had opened the barricades at Capitol Hill, but that has been contested and remains unconfirmed. Police did however leave their posts at certain barricades, allowing the protesters to pass. See: https://www.newsweek.com/capitol-police-didnt-open-gates-rioters-viral-video-1559728
  2. It was erroneously stated that Ashli Babbitt was shot by the US Secret Service. Capital Police have confirmed that it was a plainclothes Capitol Police officer who shot Ms. Babbitt.
