Former broadcaster and culture commentator Tod Maffin is discussing his turn to patriotic social-media advocacy after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada.

In a CBC interview with The National’s Ian Hanomansing, Maffin talks about becoming an unlikely influencer in response to the trade dispute. The segment, published Nov. 8, also explores why he believes it is time to unplug from American technology.

CBC frames Maffin’s advocacy as a fight for “the little guys.”
