CANADA SPECIAL: Carney knowledge - Quiet Riot

What this episode covers

With a looming election, a troublesome neighbour and a former Bank of England Governor as unelected PM, Canada is living through excruciatingly interesting times. We thought it was time to cuddle up to our Canuck cousins, and so Naomi Smith is joined for this special episode by Canadian journalist Graham Lanktree. Graham is Politico's UK trade specialist, and an ideal guide to the ins and outs of Canadian politics. How do Canadians feel about Mark Carney, a leader who has not been elected as an MP? Talking of unelected figures, what about their views on the Royal Family? As Trump bulldozes his way across the political landscape, will Canada try to disentangle its trade relations with the US, and cozy up to the EU? And How might Trump's second state visit to the UK affect UK-Canada diplomatic relations ? Get all this and more in our brilliant bite-sized guide to Canada! ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** Show notes: Sign up for a fee demo of politico pro HERE And don't forget to listen to the mythical and marvellous new hit podcast from the Quiet Riot stable: ALEX ANDREOU'S PODYSSEY can be found here:APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/alex-andreous-podyssey/id1798575126SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2x7cD3HjkOyOKTF4YT5Goy?si=e7a86b762431451fAMAZON MUSIC: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/8c996062-ef8d-42e4-9d80-5b407cb6e2e2/alex-andreou's-podysseyOVERCAST: https://overcast.fm/+ABN4Gd7AP9QPOCKET CASTS: https://pca.st/podcast/9e98d690-d812-013d-ea22-0affdfd67dbdYouTube Music: Coming Soon Or you can add it to any app, using the RSS feed: https://feeds.megaphone.fm/podysseySUBSCRIBE OR FOLLOW NOW!Our bookshop including many of the books we have featured can be found at uk.bookshop.org/shop/quietriot ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** With Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell – in cahoots with Sandstone Global.Email us at [email protected].
