An in-depth conversation on two new books on how Justin Trudeau has governed.
Join Ottawa Morning’s Robyn Bresnahan for an in-depth conversation on Justin Trudeau’s time as Prime Minister with acclaimed authors and journalists Aaron Wherry and John Ivison.
Promise and Peril: Justin Trudeau in Power by Aaron Wherry explores how the Trudeau government has succeeded or failed in its biggest commitments—resource development, immigration, climate change, trade, reconciliation—against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, global political tumult and the roar of populist revolt. It reveals what was happening behind the scenes during the government’s most crucial and public moments.
With unprecedented access and insight, John Ivison takes us inside one of the most contentious first terms of any prime minister in our history. As a political columnist for the National Post since 2003 and Ottawa bureau chief for Postmedia for the past three years, Ivison has watched Trudeau evolve as a politician and leader. Trudeau: The Education of a Prime Minister traces the complexities of the man himself.
