Election '21 - The role of foreign policy and development in the campaign with Julia Anderson from CanWaCH

Aug 27, 2021

Foreign affairs and international development issues often take a back seat in federal election campaigns.

But this election began as the Taliban took control over Afghanistan and the world is still grappling with a global pandemic.

On this episode of inFocus, I’m joined by Julia Anderson, the CEO at the Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health or CanWaCH for short. CanWaCH has over 100 members ranging from NGOs, academic institutions, health professional associations and individuals partnering to improve health outcomes for women and children in more than 1,000 communities worldwide. It has also been a client of mine for several years now.

We sat down as week two of the federal election campaign comes to an end to talk about international development, the global pandemic, and a fascinating research project CanWaCH commissioned to understand public attitudes surrounding foreign affairs and international development.

inFocus with David Coletto

For the past 10 years, I’ve built one of Canada’s leading polling and public opinion research firms: Abacus Data.

And in that time, my team and I interviewed hundreds of thousands of Canadians and hosted focus groups across the country.

This podcast will feature conversations with smart, curious, and interesting people who love politics, public policy, and figuring out what makes people think and act the way they do.

If you work in polling or market research, public affairs, public relations, government relations, advocacy, or in communications – this podcast is for you.
