Talking about Trump and Canada
A roundup of recent commentary
For those interested I thought I’d put together a collection of links to recent commentary. It’s been a eventful week, to say the least!
Trump-related news:
Last week, I had a conversation with the folks at the Canadaland Backbench podcast, talking about Canada, Canadian identity, and how the country’s identity issues complicate our response to the Trump Tariff threat. The episode came out yesterday: https://www.canadaland.com/podcast/114-trump-almost-forgot-to-bully-us/
On Monday, I spoke with Joanna Smith of The Logic about the challenges that come from Canada fighting a trade war while working through a multi-month, multi-stage leadership contest: https://thelogic.co/news/usa-canada-tariff-threats-team-canada/
Also on Monday, I spoke to Global News BC on Monday about some of the implications for Canada: https://globalnews.ca/video/10968028/what-trumps-presidency-means-for-canada.
Also, also on Monday (it was a day) I chatted with Wolf Depner of Blackpress Media about some of the implications for Canada, and BC in particular: https://www.vicnews.com/news/canada-in-for-a-rough-ride-after-trump-inauguration-bc-analyst-7770757
Non-Trump-related news:
Finally, if you can’t get enough politics commentary, but can’t take another article about Trump, Frances Bula of the Globe and Mail looked at Vancouver’s forthcoming council by-elections. Chatted with her last week for the piece: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-departure-of-green-councillor-leaves-vancouver-civic-government-with-a/
If this is kind of occasional roundup is useful, let me know! And if seems like deplorable self-promotion best avoided, that’s useful to know too!
