A complicated country: Edward Keenan on reporting from the U.S.

Guest: Edward Keenan, Toronto Star journalist

Edward Keenan was the Star’s Washington bureau chief from 2019 until just a few weeks ago. Over his brief tenure, he witnessed two impeachment trials, the COVID-19 pandemic, the largest mass street movement in the form of Black Lives Matter, a disputed election, an unprecedented insurrection attempt at the Capitol and the overturning of Roe v Wade. He’s back home in Toronto now and talks to “This Matters” about his experience and impression through one of the most surreal and turbulent times in the country’s history.

This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Brian Bradley and Matthew Hearn.
