JC: 2026 Through a Political Lens

This year, 2026, will be interesting, absorbing even, with an election at home and plenty of interest happening in the international sphere. While the election here will dominate a lot of the political discussion, events abroad will not be able to be ignored: Donald Trump will see to that. Iran, Greenland, a faint possibility of break up of Canada, increasing dissension within the EU, the continuing rise in right-wing parties’ popularity across Europe, the UK and Australia and the American mid-term elections will all demand our attention.
