Engagement in Canadian politics | Political tensions making their way in sports

BC Today

Amy Bell is our guest host today.

With Canadian politics swirling following U.S. President Donald Trump's election, new polls are showing shifts in both political views and patriotism in the country. UBC political scientist Stewart Prest joins the show to discuss how Canadians are taking in the current political landscape as we ask viewers if recent events have them more engaged in government affairs.

The Four Nations Face Off begins tonight in Montreal, but political and economic tensions have also entered the arena following ruptures in U.S.-Canada relations. Brock University sports management professor Taylor McKee and Daily Hive's national sports editor Rob Williams join the show to discuss the role politics can play in sports.
