From John To Justin

Join me as I look at the politics of Canada, from the time of Sir John A. Macdonald to Justin Trudeau. I look at every prime minister, every election, every opposition leader, every governor general and every premier.See why some made their marks, why some are terrible, and learn all the crazy stories of our political history.

Very Good Show

Just heard this host’s collaboration with Presidencies of the United States and he is very excellent at providing just enough details for people interested in Canadian history to want to find out more on their own!

Great episodes, full of information.

Now ready to get more informed with the information from the other PM’s
