Todd Gordon @toddgordontoronto.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Here’s my response to the resurgence of Canadian nationalism — left & otherwise — in the context of the tariff war: a political dead end, we need instead a much more far reaching, & internationalist, response animated by struggles from below. www.midnightsunmag.ca/we-need-work...midnightsunmag.caWe Need Workers’ Solidarity, Not “National Unity,” in Response to Trump’s TariffsTodd Gordon on why Canadian nationalism is a dead end, and on the need for a strategy centred around mass struggle and workers’ solidarity across borders. 13616
