Description

Donald Trump’s decisive election win has Canadian officials wondering what comes next for the two countries. He’s promised mass deportations, a global tariff and an end to the war in Ukraine — all of which have implications for Canada. So what are the next steps? The House hears from a variety of Canadians who could be affected by a second Trump administration. Then, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland joins the program to discuss the federal government’s approach to Trump’s incoming presidency.


Plus, after an election campaign rife with claims that Donald Trump is a fascist and voters expressing concern about the state of American democracy, two authors discuss whether the United States can withstand another Trump presidency and if any instability could have an impact on Canadian politics.


This episode features the voices of: 


  • Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister
  • Rob Goodman, author of Not Here: Why American Democracy Is Eroding and How Canada Can Protect Itself
  • Alasdair Roberts, author of The Adaptable Country: How Canada Can Survive the Twenty-First Century
