Episode Description from the Publisher

One hundred days into Donald Trump’s second presidency and he’s already swung another election. How will Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, emboldened by his victory at the polls, take on Trump? Host Anne McElvoy talks to Ralph Goodale, who has been at the centre of Canadian politics for several decades and now holds one of the country’s top diplomatic posts as High Commissioner to the U.K. A former finance minister, he has served in the cabinets of three Liberal prime ministers from Jean Chrétien to Justin Trudeau between 1993 and 2019. She's also joined by Nick Taylor-Vaisey, POLITICO’s Ottawa bureau chief and Playbook author. He’s been covering one of the most eventful election campaigns in recent Canadian history.
