the brilliant Supriya Dwivedi joined us to contemplate these and other questions and to spill some tea from her time as a senior advisor to Canada's former PM Justin Trudeau. Supriya is a political pundit on CBC's Power & Politics and a columnist for the Toronto Star and National Observer. she joined us from Toronto in December 2025.
