This week I am joined by the brilliant Jamie Gardner (sadly Justin couldn’t make it) and we get political. A Politics and Parliamentary Studies student at the University of Leeds, Jamie is on placement at the Canadian parliament, working for an MP. He gives us an insight into life in Canadian parliament, a round up of current issues in Canada, the UK and the US and we discuss the darker side of Canadian politics. Warning: this may leave your perfect image of Canadian politics and of Justin Trudeau in tatters - time for a reality check people! Information on the Indigenous peoples in Canada: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/native-people-social-conditions (the Justice section is particularly of interest); Article from the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/27/canada-150th-anniversary-celebration-indigenous-groups).
