Politics Across the Pond

Canadian Senator Andrew Cardozo and UK Member of Parliament Chris Kane bring their experiences, perspectives and political curiosity to conversations about the issues shaping politics and the wider world.

Working inside different political systems, they explore shared challenges, subjects from their own countries and international developments—from domestic politics and international affairs to media, culture and the future of work. Throughout, there is room for questions, different views and challenging each other’s assumptions.

Conversations are recorded in English.
