There’s a new president in the White House — and one of Joe Biden’s very first executive actions has a big impact on Canada. Revoking the presidential permit for the Keystone XL pipeline was reported as a likely priority early in the week, ruffling feathers in Ottawa and Alberta alike. But how much of a surprise was the incoming president’s move, really? And where can Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Alberta Premier Jason Kenney go from here?Rosie and Elamin also have another question to ask: how are you holding up? They’ve talked about the pandemic a lot, but haven’t yet had the opportunity to dive into one of the big issues looming in the background: the toll it’s taking on everyone’s mental health, including their own.(As the two mention on this episode, there are several places you can turn to for help: find the Wellness Together Canada portal at http://ca.portal.gs; access Kids Help Phone's Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 686868; reach The Canada Suicide Prevention Service at 1-833-456-4566, or in Quebec via 1-866-277-3553; and learn more about the Hope for Wellness Helpline's support for Indigenous peoples at hopeforwellness.ca.)
