This week, Worldview is canvassing the thoughts of prominent Canadians about the recent U.S. election, as well as America’s growing participation in the global rise of populism.

In our series “Canadians on Americans,” we examine what events and trends say about America and Americans.

Today, we speak with ethicist and philosopher Joseph Heath. He’s a professor of philosophy and at the School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Toronto. He’s author of Enlightenment 2.0: Restoring Sanity to Our Politics, Our Economy, and our Lives.
