Guest: Toronto Star reporter Allan Woods
Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney just had their first call since Carney took office, and by all accounts, it was productive. But also, the fact that this call is making headlines is just another sign of how much Trump and the U.S. will loom over Canada's upcoming election. From Trump's political influence and the spread of disinformation to the idea (his own) that his presidency actually helped keep the Liberals in power; this election is shaping up to be as much about the U.S. as it is about Canada.
Canada has always had to live in America's shadow—but this time, the biggest foreign threat to our democracy isn't Russia or China—it might be our closest ally.
