Description

Trump won. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. It's been impossible to escape. Canadian news media has been committed to publishing analyses of Trump's sweeping electoral victory since it happened. But what's worthy of publishing? What purpose do these solutions serve? Unsurprisingly, shifting right is the main solution proposed. Writer, researcher and co-host of the podcast Expats and Allies Chuka Ejeckam joins Scott to discuss the analyses published by The Globe and Mail, National Post and Toronto Star. They also discuss how even left-wing analyses of Trump's win omits important lessons for the people.

Clarification: Ritchie Torres was not one of the Democrats who spoke out against trans athletes.
