Paul Wells: Is Canadian politics actually getting nicer?
This week on WONK, host Amanda Lang talks to journalist Paul Wells about moving past political animosity, toxic social media and the path ahead for the new PM
Paul Wells is the de facto dean of political journalism in Canada — a longtime observer and interpreter of what happens in Ottawa. He talks to host Amanda Lang about some surprising shifts in the wake of the federal election, including an easing of the ‘ever-deepening animosity’ that’s become a trademark of politics, evidence of a common understanding of what’s good for Canada and why we should be grateful Trump isn’t better at his job.
