It’s been a significant January for politics in Canada. Reactions to Canada’s electric vehicle trade deal with China, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s barnburner speech in Davos and Doug Ford’s spat with booze maker Diageo suggest the rest of the year will be much the same.
On Thursday, Jan. 29 at 1 p.m, the Star’s Alex Ballingall and Martin Regg Cohn will take your questions in a live Q&A about the year ahead—covering everything from Canada’s shifting international profile to the upcoming byelection for Chrystia Freeland’s former seat.
