Bob Komsic is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. He is joined, first, by Dr. Mark Brewer who is Professor and Interim Chair in the Department of Political Science at the University of Maine followed by Michael Adams who is President of the Environics group of research and communications consulting companies.
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the Capitol Hill Insurrection in which a mob of pro-Trump protesters violently stormed the capitol building in Washington DC. Mark Brewer explains in further depth the events that lead up to the Capitol Hill attack and what it reflects about America's current political climate. Michael recently wrote an op-ed in the Globe and Mail where he explores the deep political polarization of the American peoples and how Canadians compare in this regard. Finally, we explore a new Angus Reid study that compares Canadians vs Americans views about whether the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill attack was an act of "domestic terrorism".
