Should Canada suck up or stand up to Donald Trump?


Listen Later

This week, Donald Trump enjoyed a second state visit to the United Kingdom and was feted by King Charles and the royal family at Windsor Castle — a move some Brits saw as the United Kingdom sucking up to the U.S. president. Canadian podcaster and author Stephen Marche and former Mexican politician Agustín Barrios Gómez discuss whether their countries should suck up or stand up to Donald Trump.


Plus, this week has seen high-profile Liberals from the Trudeau era announce their departure from Parliament Hill to take on diplomatic roles, including Chrystia Freeland and David Lametti — and there’s rumours of more on the way. Catherine Cullen sits down with Lametti 


Then, Energy Minister Tim Hodgson talks about major projects, oil pipelines, and whether Canada — in the midst of this push to build big — can meet its upcoming emissions reduction targets.


Finally, political strategists Mitch Heimpel and Carlene Variyan go into sportscaster mode to review the tape from the first-ever Mark Carney/Pierre Poilievre question period faceoff in the House of Commons this week.


This episode features the voices of:

  • David Lametti, Canada’s incoming ambassador to the United Nations
  • Stephen Marche, author and host of “Gloves Off”
  • Agustín Barrios Gómez, former Mexican congressman
  • Tim Hodgson, minister of energy and natural resources
  • Mitch Heimpel, Conservative strategist
  • Carlene Variyan, former chief of staff to Liberal ministers
