How To Save Canada

Rob Goodman was a congressional staffer in the US and as a rising authoritarian movement brought America to the brink of a coup, he did what all Americans threaten to do when they are fed up with their country: he moved to Canada. Now an Assistant Professor in the department of Politics and Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University, he has an urgent warning for his adopted country.

Jesse sits down with Rob to talk about his new book, “Not Here: Why American Democracy Is Eroding and How Canada Can Protect Itself.”
