The enduring strength of U.S. institutions and civil society will mean less the “fundamental transformation” promoted by Trump supporters and more a “heated transition”—though still with uncertain consequences.
Trump begins but America still continues
The unusual Donald Trump
With the incoming Trump administration, nothing will be “as expected.” Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be unpredictable. Let’s just hope that’s it.
Will Trump upend the post-World War economic and political order?
Beyond bilateral economic and trade concerns there is a larger preoccupation in Canada: is this the end of Pax Americana?
Why Hillary Clinton is the preferred choice in the Great White North
Trump’s desire to scrap or unilaterally change NAFTA would upset the supply-chain economy as Canadians and Americans know it.
How a Canadian saw the U.S. party conventions
As an analyst for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) I had the opportunity to watch both conventions up close. One of my takeaways: the two parties present two distinct visions of the future, with one more aligned with Canadians the other a more-than-a-little frightening to many Canadians.
The Brexit lessons for the Americas
The Three Amigos hit all the right notes in the summit in Ottawa, Canada this week—a fitting second act to the “bromantic” state visit of Prime Minister Trudeau to Washington in March. But Brexit and Trump cast a long shadow over Obama’s last NAFTA summit.
Canada’s concerns about the U.S. election
Fear is growing in the Canadian press that Republican nominee Donald Trump, the real estate mogul and reality TV star with a flair for shouting the unthinkable, may actually become the next president of the United States.

Canadian engagement at the U.N.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently announced his government’s intention to seek a non-permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council. But a lot has changed since Canada helped usher in the U.N. decades ago, including the global body’s reputation and Canada’s commitment to that form of multilateralism.
Trudeau and Obama meet: Can the bromance sustain relations after 2017?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s state dinner at the White House, the first in 19 years, and the summit with President Obama was big news in Canada. But will the elections in the U.S. undermine the personal and policy progress that was made?
