...with the Division of Political Power (Ep. 13)

What is the nature of political power and how is it distributed? What are the pros and cons of a federal system like Canada's, where power is shared between governments? Is it possible that Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump are singing from the same "make our country great again" song-sheets, just on opposite sides of the populist choir? And how likely is it that the American president will be impeached?

Ben addresses these questions and more with Dr. Anthony Sayers, Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary
