Tariffs and Trade Wars: My Appearance on the Canadaland Podcast
Thank you .... I'll be here all week!!
I had the pleasure of appearing on the Canadaland podcast, which was being hosted by my old friend San Grewal. We haven’t spoken in years, but it was easy to pick up with him again.
From 2017-2023, I was the Leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party, and from 2018-2023, I was a member of the Manitoba Legislature.
San and I have known each other since university days. I used to run a satirical student newspaper, and when he wanted to start a magazine, someone told him to contact me. I did some writing for him, and he ended up going to work at the Toronto Star. His own story is interesting - his was the first Sikh family to ever move to Brandon, Manitoba.
In any case, here’s the episode. It’s about the media, tariffs and trade, and a bit about Canada’s new Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and Prime Minister, Mark Carney.
The affect of Trump’s repeated unwanted advances on Canada has resulted in a complete reversal of fortune for the Conservative Party and Pierre Poilievre and the Liberal Party, with some polls predicting a Liberal majority government.
