Canada will not bend the knee to Orange Jesus. That’s one reading of our recent federal election. The ballots were barely tallied before headline writers around the world were posing the question: Will Canada lead the global opposition to Trumpism?

Do we have the muscle for the fight? Are we internally coherent enough to pull it off? Can we stay focused long enough on what Canada is and could be? These and many other questions need answers before we can address the notion of whether or not Canada is fit to lead an international rebel alliance against an increasingly unhinged and aggressive United States.

Stephen Marche, author of The Next Civil War joins us to tackle the idea.
