Amid the threat of trade tariffs on steel and the changing realities of everything from crossing the border to American-style politics in Ontario’s recent provincial election, there’s never been a more pressing time to understand President Donald Trump and his influence on Canada and the world at large. Join experts from McMaster University Political Science as they discuss “The Trump Effect” in national and international politics.
