  • Summary

  • This week in politics has been so massive, one MP’s stunned response summed it up: “WTF?” In the span of five days, the finance minister resigned; a growing list of Liberal MPs called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to quit; the federal cabinet got shuffled; NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh vowed to bring down the government; and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wrote to the Governor General to ask her to reconvene Parliament.


    On today’s pod, a longtime Liberal MP calls for Trudeau to go. A minister explains why he thinks Trudeau should stay. Then, two columnists dissect whether Trudeau — and the country — can survive the turmoil.


    Finally, as Donald Trump and his supporters taunt Canada about becoming the 51st state, Catherine Cullen sits down with the departing American ambassador to Canada to discuss whether Canadians need to loosen up — or whether we deserve a little more respect.


    This episode features the voices of:


    • Rob Oliphant, Liberal MP for Don Valley West
    • Steven MacKinnon, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour
    • Shannon Proudfoot, columnist for The Globe and Mail
    • Paul Wells, author and podcaster
    • David Cohen, U.S. ambassador to Canada
