Canada will not bend the knee to Orange Jesus. That’s one reading of our recent federal election. The ballots were barely tallied before headline writers around the world were posing the question: Will Canada lead the global opposition to Trumpism?
Do we have the muscle for the fight? Are we internally coherent enough to pull it off? Can we stay focused long enough on what Canada is and could be? These and many other questions need answers before we can address the notion of whether or not Canada is fit to lead an international rebel alliance against an increasingly unhinged and aggressive United States.
Stephen Marche, author of The Next Civil War joins us to tackle the idea.

Jesse Brown is an ideological slut. Well, so he says. His past votes have jumped, in no particular order, from the Conservatives to the NDP “....maybe there was a fringe party or Parti Québécois vote in there somewhere, I can’t even remember who I’ve thrown in with over the years — I have no loyalty, I’m politically promiscuous.”
Given that this is supposed to be the most consequential vote of our lifetimes, and with the polls closing in just a few hours, you’d think even the “politically promiscuous” Jesse Brown would have settled on a party by now. Nope.
So on today’s show he’s gathered the best minds, or at least the most available of his colleagues at Canadaland, to argue the merits of each party.
