This week, our interview is with Richard Madan, the award-winning Washington D.C. correspondent for CanadasCBC News.

Generally speaking, Americans have positive views of Canadians, the CBC News correspondent tells Deadline.

This is going to be a very challenging election on so many levels, he explains.

There really is an anger out there, theres a resentment.

All the polls indicate no ones excited about this rematch between Biden and Trump.

It will be a very unpredictable and high-stakes election.

Its a commitment he wears with pride, even though it can sometimes weigh heavy.

I know anything I say or do is going to be under such scrutiny, he adds.

The last thing you want to be is a target for somebody on a political team.

Although Madan left America as a kid, America never really left him.

Not that Madan is making plans to shout louder than any of his White House press room colleagues.

I just take a stab at be pleasant.

Were Canadians, right?
