Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1294 - Political Succession with Stephen Azzi

Brian interviews Stephen Azzi. Stephen is a professor of political management, history, and political science at Carleton University. Professor Azzi’s research focuses on prime ministerial leadership in Canada, Canada–US relations, and Canadian economic and cultural nationalism. He'll talk about political succession. In an article last week he wrote “Most prime ministers are like heavyweight boxers. They keep fighting until they are knocked out or they realize a knockout is imminent. Then they step down, leaving their parties in disarray.”
