TRILLIUM TALK: What Donald Trump’s thumping victory means for us

Every Sunday morning, one of our legislative reporters from The Trillium provides an inside look at the week that was in Ontario politics — and the week ahead

Welcome back to Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature. 

Every Sunday, Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the week that was at Queen's Park — and the week ahead.

On the show today is reporter/editor Katherine DeClerq, who joined our team of political journalists last month when Village Media acquired Queen's Park Today.

The big news of the week, of course: Donald Trump's landslide win in the U.S. presidential election — and what it means for Canada.

As DeClerq explains, Canadian politicians, including the Ford government, say they're prepared to deal with Trump's potentially protectionist administration.

"I'm very confident we'll have a very rewarding relationship with the new administration," Doug Ford told reporters. Time will tell.
