What Really Happened During the Trucker Occupation of Ottawa? Conversations with Rodney Palmer and Ray McGinnis

Author: Alternate Current Radio November 29, 2024 Duration: 59:18
This week, on the Global Research News Hour, with Pat King apparently the latest figure making news around the Truckers in Ottawa almost 3 years ago this coming January, we take a look at what objective evidence reveals in retrospect about the freedom convoy. We start off with Rodney Palmer, the award winning former CBC and CTV journalist who stated based on his own experience in Ottawa during the Convoy Occupation that the media was outright using propaganda to convince us that our country was under attack. And in our second half hour, author Ray McGinnis reports on the Convoy based on what was actually presented at the Public Order Emergency Commission, and arrives at difficult conclusions regarding the way our government and our media behaved during the peak of the COVID-19 crisis.

Tune in to Global Research News Hour, a weekly program from the team at Alternate Current Radio that brings the work of the Centre for Research on Globalization directly to your ears. Based in Montreal, the CRG operates as an independent, non-profit research and media organization, and this audio extension of their mission digs into the stories and analyses that often exist outside mainstream headlines. Each episode functions as a deep-dive conversation, drawing from the Centre's extensive network of researchers, authors, and activists involved in publishing, humanitarian projects, and public education. You'll hear detailed discussions on the pressing societal and cultural issues shaping our world, from geopolitics and economics to environmental crises and social movements. The tone is substantive and inquisitive, prioritizing context and evidence over sound bites. This isn't just a summary of the news; it's a critical examination of the forces behind it, offering listeners a more nuanced understanding of global events. Produced by Alternate Current Radio, this podcast serves as an essential audio companion for anyone looking to move beyond superficial reporting and engage with the complex realities of our interconnected world.
