Andrew Furey on the nastiness of politics and facing Donald Trump
On WONK this week, the popular premier of Newfoundland and Labrador talks about his decision to exit politics, his fears about Trump's 'imperialistic' agenda and a Canada-first response.
Andrew Furey has been the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador for an extraordinarily eventful five years, from the pandemic and its fallout, to going all in on oil and gas, and lately, of course, the chaos of Trump and a trade war. The popular leader shocked everyone recently when he announced he’s leaving politics. Host Amanda Lang talks to Furey about why he’s stepping down, his fears about the U.S. president’s motives and the need for a Canada-first strategy.
