Margaret MacMillan + the Political Panel

We’ve got a 2-parter for you today.

For Part 1, I’m so pleased to welcome Margaret MacMillan. Ms. MacMillan is a Professor of History at University of Toronto and emeritus Professor of International History at the University of Oxford. She is the bestselling author of a great many works, specializing in British Imperial history and the international history of the 19th and 20th centuries. We’ll talk to Ms. MacMillan about her new book “War: How conflict shaped us” ... and we’ll also get into historical lessons relevant to figures like Trump ... and the worldwide pandemic.

For Part 2 of the pod, it’s our ever-lovin, ever-cussin’ Political Panel, with Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid! We’ll going to have it out over yesterday’s Economic update from Freeland. We’ll talk about COVID vaccines in Canada. And for fun and story-telling, we’ll chat about a very prescient Trudeau issuing a read-out of his call with Erin O’Toole – before his call with Erin O’Toole even happened.

Jeez, I almost forgot:
We’ll also continue with our new segment “HEY YOU!”, where we all throw a question out into the void, for a politician or public figure.
