TTT1728 July 10 Consul General of Canada

Canada is looking pretty attractive these days to many Americans. A gentle giant with an open spirit, the very idea of Canada gives solace to those who are heart-sick about the divisive politics and aggressive policies prevalent in the U.S. Many Minnesotans feel especially close to Canada — after all, it’s just a one-day trip north from the Twin Cities or a short canoe ride from our northern lakes.

But what do we really know about the country? Who are Canadians and how does their parliamentary system work? How different are Canadian policies on issues like refugees, climate change, health care, indigenous rights? TTT host Tom O’Connell discusses these and other topics with Consul General Khawar Nasim.

Guests:

Khawar Nasim is Canada’s Counsel General in Minneapolis.
