This week’s podcast includes perspectives from Nikita Singh from India, Christian Moroy from Germany, Fiona MacKenzie from New Zealand, Andreas Sung Unstad from Norway and Emily Jones from Australia on what the international reception has been to Justin Trudeau over his first year.

The Global Shuffle’s “Chief Political Correspondent” Peter Gallivan and I then provide some historical perspective on what led to Trudeau’s elections and some key drivers of his global popularity.

We speak about how this translates to Canada’s image and explore what role political figures can play in shifting global dialogue and perceptions of their respective countries. We also explore risks and pitfalls that may arise from the high expectations created in Trudeau’s first year.
