Wonderful discussion. Thank you for giving us a window into the "roots of our current discontent". I do found it enlightening, somewhat reassuring and disconcerting at the same time. Just to give ypically Canadian answer. The idea of the oscillations between universalism and individualism is a constant in history consistently inconsistent.
It is no great epiphany that a lot of the populism were seen today is a result, it can and has been argued, of capitalism not sharing the wealth that's generated. The gilded age on steroids. The extreme case is in the US.
History rhymes. D'torqueville was onto something in the 1830, 200 yrs later, full circle. I agree with your Articulating the argument as the partial roots of trumpism as a manifestation of the original sin of the American project, racism, (Paraphrased).
Well articulated! Not resolving, but clarifying and helpful . But the beast still lumbers, and whether we really are all human beings is yet to be determined as this world order continues to be challenged.
An incredibly insightful answer to the question "What in the hell is going on". It provides a firm basis for future oriented policy planning. Not just putting out the fires, but building fire proof, or at least fire resistant societies!

You can see why a political system rose up to block Ignatieff from power. They do not want leaders who think, have a vision, and a moral compass.
One hopes that Carney is the same class of thinker. Canada must tread lightly but still be decisive going forward.
A really interesting interview. Thank you..
Excellent discussion. Thankyou.
