Who would have thought that Canada played a role in bringing democracy to the former Soviet Union? That's what Brad uncovered during his discussion with journalist Christopher Shulgan as they discussed the book "The Soviet Ambassador". The impact and example that Canada played in showing a former Stalinist that democratic principles such as land ownership, free elections and a separate justice system could increase the happiness and productivity of a country were instrumental in changing the mind of an influential Soviet statesman. A personal relationship that grew to the level of close friendship with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau sowed the seeds of freedom in a man who was previously a hard-line communist.
This interview was a fitting tribute to the birthday of our nation.
