Show Notes

In the wake of a racist rally that turned deadly in Charlottesville, Va. the City of Vancouver is set to hold its own pair of dueling demonstrations between anti-immigrant groups and counter-protesters.

A Saturday event dubbed the “WCAI Canada/CAP rally” has been posted to Facebook by right wing media group “ProperGander Promotions,” and lists speakers from several anti-immigrant groups.

That prompted a counter rally, organized by an ad-hoc group calling itself Stand Up to Racism Metro Van.

Guest: Rae Figursky, Counter Protestor
