Navigating Political Symbolism in Canada-U.S. Relations

On this Canada Day, we’re reflecting on our national identity – but dependent on who you ask, you’ll get a different answer. Being Canadian comes with a complex mix of opinion, taking into account politics, history and geography. Are we still considered the polite neighbours to the north? Are we more united as a country since our sovereignty has been threatened by President Donald Trump? Host Melanie Ng reflects on these questions and more with Howard Ramos, a political sociologist at Western University.We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.
