"On this week's episode of The David Frum Show, David opens with his thoughts on the reported $500 million-dollar deal between World Liberty Financial, a Trump-family business venture, and the United Arab Emirates, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. David discusses the helplessness we feel as we are bombarded with stories where it seems all restraint has broken down and explains what laws exist that are meant to curtail corrupt practices."
"Then, David is joined by former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney to discuss the Trump administration's overtures to an Albertan secessionist movement, the harm the Trump presidency has done to the American-Canadian alliance, and how Trump is pushing Canada into China's arms. David and Premier Kenney also discuss how the failures to address immigration by liberal parties across the West have led to dangerous far-right populist movements."
Four days before inauguration, a UAE businessman pledged $500 million to a Trump-family cryptocurrency company, prompting concerns about potential corruption and the adequacy of legal restraints. Repeated revelations of elite transactions have produced public feelings of helplessness. The Trump administration engaged with an Albertan secessionist movement, contributing to deterioration of the American-Canadian alliance and encouraging closer Canadian ties with China. Failures by liberal parties across the West to manage immigration have helped spur dangerous far-right populist movements. The 1904 novel The Imperialist offers historical perspective on losses from weakening US–Canada relations.
