Friday, Stephen K. Bannon, Chairman of Citizens of the American Republic and filmmaker for Trump At War, Former Chairman of Breitbart and CEO of the 2016 presidential campaign for Donald J. Trump,  was in Toronto to talk about the worldwide rise of  the Populist movement and to debate a former Aide to former President George W. Bush, at the Munk Debates. “This is about the little guy versus the elites,” Bannon said. “The little guy identifies with that, whether it’s in Hungary, whether it’s in Italy, whether it’s in Brazil, whether it’s in the United States.” Bannon slammed what he called the “great elites of the permanent political class” for causing the devastating financial crisis in 2008 and waging endless wars like the one in Afghanistan. CHAMPION OF DEPLORABLES "Those same elites consider the populist movement to be made up of racist, nativist xenophobes. Well, it’s not. They’re the backbone of our country, the most decent people on Earth,” Bannon said. After a feisty 90 minute debate, Bannon emerged the winner of the debate. BANNON IS THE WINNER https://twitter.com/spaikin/status/1058526862979133440 From the website Munk Debates: "Throughout the Western world, politics is undergoing a sea-change. Long-held notions of the role of government, trade and economic policy, foreign policy and immigration are being challenged by populist thinkers and movements. Does this surging populist agenda in Western nations signal a permanent shift in our politics? Or, is it passing phenomenon that will remain at the fringes of society and political power? Will our politics continue to be shaped by the post-war consensus on trade, inclusive national identity and globalization, or by the agenda of insurgent populist politics, parties and leaders? The Autumn 2018 Munk Debate will move the motion: Be it resolved, the future of western politics is populist, not liberal..."

The Debate was very popular online. The Debate was controversial because the left tried to shut them down numerous times prior to Friday. "Hundreds of protesters descended on the downtown concert hall to voice their opposition to the debate between former Trump strategist Steve Bannon and former George W. Bush aide and speech writer David Frum. As the attendees arrived, the crowd of protesters grew to the point where police lined two deep between them and those waiting in line to enter. Protesters chanted, booed and jeered at those waiting in line, and held up signs with slogans such as, "refugees are welcome," and "human rights are not up for debate." Police used pepper spray to subdue some protesters. The dramatic scene outside the Munk Debate slowed entry to the venue, and the event started some 45 minutes late, at 7:30 p.m. ET," reported CBC News.

Saturday, Stephen K. Bannon, Chairman of Citizens Of The American Republic participated in a discussion with The Economist about his ideas of Global Populism and Economic Nationalism, which is in contrast with their liberal ideology. "Illegal Immigration suppresses workers wages.  I am not against all legal immigration.  Our Hispanic and African American population can't get jobs in the high tech sectors.  We need to take care of our citizens.  Economic Nationalism doesn't care about identity politics, it cares that you are a citizen," Bannon said. Desperate to frame Bannon and his associates as a racist, Zanny Minton Beddoes constantly feigned ignorance over what nationalism, focus on employment for citizens, means for the countries of the world. "I disagree, foreign entrepreneurs and foreign tech owners have made jobs. You are hurting growth," Beddoes said. Claiming "Liberalism" as the credit for the longest period of peace in Europe claims to hold superior ideas of economics. "We care about the beating heart of Economic Nationalism, to protect jobs for citizens. It is about citizens," Bannon said. "Yes, peace on the shoulders of Deplorables, whose shoulders upon which everything rests, their taxes and their children's taxes is what saved Europe over and over again," Bannon said. "Populism is rising because the party of Devos has gotten powerful on the backs of working-class men and women.  I protect the working class," Bannon said. "We are economic war with China.  Your paper doesn't say that.  Trump has said that clearly," Bannon said. "You make mistakes." "You keep getting bailed you out by the Deplorables, after World War 1 and World War 2. They are getting tired of it.  They have bailed your magazine out," Bannon said. "We want to deconstruct the Administration State. We want the workers to get a piece of the action. That is the Populist movement. The power comes from letting the workers get a piece of the action," he said.

Tuesday, after pressure from Democrats, the Economist Magazine published a statement about their invitation to Stephen K. Bannon, Chairman of Citizens of the American Republic and Former CEO of the 2016 Donald J. Trump Presidential Campaign. https://twitter.com/TheEconomist/status/1037039464219062272 DEEPER DIVE BuzzFeed UK reported: "British financial magazine the Economist has privately told panellists who were invited to discuss #MeToo for an upcoming festival that it would continue to host former presidential strategist and Breitbart chair Steve Bannon, because it was "critical we invite views from all sides". A debate about Bannon's presence at so-called ideas festivals was ignited on Monday after the New Yorker magazine announced he'd be a headliner at an upcoming event. Following high-profile dropouts and reported staff anger about hosting Bannon, New Yorker editor David Remnick announced he'd no longer appear. But Bannon has also been booked to appear as a headline attraction at a similar event hosted by the Economist later this month, titled the Open Future Festival, where he'll be interviewed by the magazine's editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes. When the news of Bannon's scheduled Economist appearance was made more widely known on Twitter yesterday, British journalist Laurie Penny and activist Ally Fogg tweeted that they'd be boycotting the event. Penny and Fogg were to be on a panel alongside Laura Bates titled "What is next for #MeToo?", which was scheduled to be held in London immediately before Bannon's feature interview."
