Andrew Coyne on why Canada must become a great power to survive

from Hub Podcasts

Andrew Coyne, columnist for The Globe and Mail, discusses Canada's national identity crisis amid growing threats from President Trump. He explores Canada's weakened national symbols and story, the decline of unifying narratives since the British Empire, and whether anti-Americanism is a unifying force. He argues Canada must strengthen internally through democratic reform, the removal of interprovincial trade barriers, and ambitious immigration to become a great power capable of defending itself in an increasingly hostile world.
