Today in Episode 2 we take a deep, yet incredibly shallow, dive into the broader concept of Canada. Intended to set the stage for future discussion, we'll touch on how Canada came to be and the basics of issues that define our current political state. Topics such as colonialism, immigration, resource extraction, trade relationships, and the democratic deficit will be introduced and described. The goal today: to begin to understand the past before we jump in and decide our future.
