Democracy Sausage: The elephant on meth
Political scientist Feo Snagovsky joins Democracy Sausage to explore the uncanny valley between Canadian and Australian politics and ask whether Mark Carney can govern while sleeping next to an 'elephant on meth'.
How did Trump’s annexation threats unite Canadians like never before? Why does Alberta want to hold a separation referendum while sitting in the middle of Canada? And what happens when your conservative leader loses his own seat but still gets the highest vote share in party history?
Dr Feo Snagovsky is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Alberta, specialising in Canadian politics and comparative political systems.
Dr Marija Taflaga is the Director of the ANU Centre for the Study of Australian Politics and a Lecturer at the ANU School of Politics and International Relations.
