Lloyd Axworthy

Canadian politician, elder statesman, academic and Pipe Carrier in the Anishinaabe Nation. The Honourable Lloyd Axworthy is proof that a local kid can reach international heights. From humble beginnings in the north end of Winnipeg to Chairing the World Refugee Council, Lloyd Axworthy has always believed that Canada can and should be a place to welcome those humans being displace by violence, climate change and political persecution. During this episode Lloyd walks us through his life as a student, his appetite for doing good things through politics, his various roles in the Federal Cabinet and how we need to do a better job of helping some 80 million refugees find a welcoming place to call home.
