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
