Truckin’ and Blockade’n
<p>This week Eric Kohn, Sam Gregg, and Dan Hugger are truckin’ to the Canadian truckers’ blockade of Ottawa and the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor. Even if the truckers’ cause is just, are their tactics justifiable? And does it mean now that famously polite and compliant Canada has a populist uprising on its hands over overreaching COVID policy? Then they dissect The New York Times op-ed from three post-liberal conservatives on foreign policy hawkishness. Is the hesitancy to get into foreign entanglements all that novel an argument, or is it concealing something far more radical than mere retrenchment? And finally, the guys discuss Dan’s Detroit News op-ed on Joe Rogan and the problem of misinformation in the media.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.acton.org/audio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Subscribe to our podcasts</strong></a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><a href="https://acton.swoogo.com/businessmatters22" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Business Matters 2022 — 50% off registration with promo code PODCASTBM22</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/13/world/americas/canada-trucker-protest.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Canada Opens Blockaded Bridge, but in Ottawa, Truckers Won’t Budge | New York Times</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/05/opinion/republicans-national-conservatives-hawks.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hawks Are Standing in the Way of a New Republican Party | Sohrab Ahmari, Patrick Deneen, and Gladden Pappin, New York Times</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Public-Choice-Theory-Illusion-Strategy-ebook/dp/B09L9Y2W7S" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Public Choice Theory and the Illusion of Grand Strategy: How Generals, Weapons Manufacturers, and Foreign Governments Shape American Foreign Policy | Richard Hanania</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://blog.acton.org/archives/123030-joe-rogan-is-not-a-problem-but-a-mirror.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joe Rogan is not a problem, but a mirror | Dan Hugger, Acton Institute</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
