Global Roaming with Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald

With friends like Trump: Canada's perfect storm


Listen Later

Canada has a lot going on right now. It's facing a potential trade war with the United States, President Trump wants it to become the 51st US state and its long-standing leader Justin Trudeau is set to depart in March, ahead of a general election where a Conservative victory looks likely. Former leader of Canada's Liberal Party Michael Ignatieff joins Geraldine and Hamish to discuss why he is taking President Trump's threats very seriously, and why he thinks we should too. 

Guest: Michael Ignatieff - former leader of the Liberal party of Canada. He teaches history at Central European University, Vienna.
