About this episode
Justin Trudeau coasted to victory in 2015 with a promise of “sunny ways.” Now, almost a decade letter, defeat looks inevitable after three terms rocked by scandals, ethics violations, and a cost-of-living crisis pushing Canadians to seek change. A new book by journalist Stephen Maher chronicles Trudeau’s “turbulent reign.” Maher joins Andrew Lawton to discuss Trudeau’s cult of personality, contempt for his critics, his relationship with the media, and other themes explored in Maher’s book, “The Prince.”
