From CBC News.

As Canada’s ambassador to the United States prepares to leave Washington after eight turbulent years, Kirsten Hillman reflects on how Canada–U.S. relations have changed and how she’s navigated an increasingly polarized political landscape, from Democrats to MAGA Republicans. In an extended interview with host Catherine Cullen, Hillman discusses building influence in Washington and whether she believes there are real limits on President Donald Trump’s power. Plus, author and former presidential speechwriter David Frum says the American empire is in decline. He reflects on what Canadian democracy can learn from this moment and why he believes a stronger sense of national pride is critical for Canada’s future.
