    Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1378 - Canada's Relationship with China with Jeff Mahon
    2025/05/16
    Brian interviews Jeff Mahon. Jeff is Director of StrategyCorp’s Geopolitical and International Business Advisory. He is also an Executive in Residence at the Canada West Foundation. Prior to this, he served as Deputy Director at Global Affairs Canada’s China Division, was Nunavut’s Chief Negotiator for the Canadian Free Trade Agreement negotiations, and ran his own import and export brokerage company. Jeff Mahon talks about Canada’s relationship with China. Given trade issues, human rights concerns, and the potential for issues between China and Taiwan, and the charged atmosphere between the US and China, this is a very topical issue. We discuss several articles he has written about Canada as we are reckoning with big changes in the world.

In a series of insightful essays that move deftly between personal, theoretical and historical approaches he considers not only what makes something a crisis, but also how to navigate the effect of these destabilizing times on ourselves, on our families and on the world. James Cairns talks about his book: "In Crisis, On Crisis" which is about how we deal with the personal and society crises in our life.

    - Mark Carney's better resume then everyone else on the stage combined
    - Lack of a believable pivot from Pierre Poilievre, so much so that the campaign didn't start to come back until they started hiding him.
