EP 141: Trudeau's 'Princely Capriciousness'

If you follow Canadian politics, you know that Justin Trudeau’s political career is now looking uncertain. He’s been polling badly for months, as a series of crises have rocked the country, including the cost of living, the opioid crisis, the housing crisis, healthcare, runaway immigration, and foreign interference. Our guest on today’s program has written a comprehensive biography of Trudeau as Prime Minister, based on interviews with more than 200 insiders, and the man himself — and today, he walks us through Trudeau’s journey from being a global media darling to becoming one of the most divisive figures in the country. Stephen Maher is an investigative journalist and political writer. His new book is The Prince: The Turbulent Reign of Justin Trudeau. You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com
