Journalist Evan Balgord has been covering fringe right groups like the Proud Boys, Soldiers of Odin, and the Three Percenters for the better part of the past year. He joins COMMONS to discuss the ongoing street protests and what’s driving these groups’ discontent.

Dr. Barbara Perry, author of In The Name of Hate: Understanding Hate Crimes. Listen here.

Sarah Ali, a member of the Organizing Committee Against Islamophobia, who have been demonstrating against the fringe right on a regular basis. Listen here.

CANADALAND will be back on Monday.
