About the episode
Our neighbors to the north have a new leader. On Sunday, the Liberal Party of Canada held a leadership election to replace its outgoing party leader and prime minister, Justin Trudeau. Its members chose Mark Carney, a former bank governor who has never held elected office. The change in leadership comes in the wake of the United States launching a trade war against Canada. We discuss how the country's next prime minister might navigate such frosty relations. Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions?
