Greetings, Citizens!In this episode, we shall look at the second largest country on planet earth, an important member of NATO, and a place where a lot of Latvian refugees went in the aftermath of WW2. Also, a lot of people from USA wanted to migrate there following the Trump elections. The problem is – politics of Canada, it’s history and issues aren’t well known and understood outside that country, yet, it’s often used as an example of healthcare and other issues. So, we try to figure out what’s the context of Canadian politics, it’s political history and what’s up with all the singing lumberjacks anyway.Enjoy!
