Ryan Grim on the killing of Amir Locke | US-style grievances are fueling Canada's trucksurrection

We've Got Issues

This week, Ryan Grim, The Intercept's DC bureau chief, joins us to talk about the parallels between the police slaying of Amir Locke in Minnesota last week and the killing of Breonna Taylor in Louisville two years ago, and run down America's long history of trampling on African Americans' right to defend themselves.

Then we talk to Grid Misinformation Reporter Anya van Wagtendonk about the far-right truckers laying siege to Ottawa, some curious and inauthentic organizing surrounding the protests and how American cultural grievances and extreme polarization appear to be spilling over the Northern border.
