Any 2019 elections you are following?

The the US election next year, this year we can still focus on the elections in the rest of the world.

Canada, India, Switzerland, Belgium, Romania, Argentina, are among the many countries that will elect their leaders this year. With the rise of populism I think these elections are becoming more interesting (& relevant), with new political movements and faces gaining power all over the globe.

Any elections you're going to be following this year?

Canada-Trudeau and the Liberals have taken a hit in the polls. Can the Conservatives or the C.A.Q make break through?

And of course, of these elections, which do you think Russia/China are going to interfere in? It's sort of their jam now, and given the rise of populism around the globe you have to think they had a hand in it.

The Canadian elections are a wildcard for sure. While JT isn't on secure ground in any sense (just today he's being accused of judicial interference), his main competitors are brand new faces, so it's really hard to say where it will go.

No major country has major elections this year so I don't think they would interfere in Argentina or Belgium. India could be the exception but 1) India isn't really involved into global geo-political business, they are busy dealing with Pakistan and 2) last time, the right-wing conservatives won ina landslide so I guess russian interference would be kinda overkill

Canada isn't a major country?

 

[Johan]

with all due respect to Canada and Canadian citizens, No, Canada isn't a major country. At least no on geo-political issues
