It’s an election year in the United States. This month on our Off the Hill panel, our guests dive into the explosive world of U.S. politics and discuss the many ways our neighbours south of the border influence Canada. 

This month, we’re joined by Member of Parliament for Timmins-James Bay Charlie Angus, senior researcher at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Stuart Trew and rabble editor Nick Seebruch.
