The Bulwark Daily · Pete Buttigieg: Time for Radical Change · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

I'm planning to engage the highest levels of the Canadian government, among others in Canada.

I have a very legitimate reason to be there.

And I feel like immediately just kind of like, I don't know, like I'm doing something wrong.

And I was reflecting on it the next day, not knowing that a few weeks later, something like this would happen.

But like any encounter with authority can...

can create that effect, right?

And so it's one of the reasons why it's so incredibly important that

you have trust in the authorities that they will treat you fairly, that they will not treat you differently because you're gay or because you were opposed to the government or whatever.

Because in that context, even if I feel weird for a second, I know that this will all very easily be kind of clear to this Canadian immigration official in a couple of minutes that I'm there on legitimate business.

And even though my head was saying that in this scenario too, right?

My head is like, okay, this is obviously either a setup or a mix-up or something because there's no reason why this would be happening.

You're still saying that while there's a guy in a uniform and a lady with a clipboard in her hand in your home, in your driveway.

And...

You just have to, everything depends on us knowing.

This kind of, maybe in a way this gets back to what I'm saying about the system too.

If you're not so sure about the system, as is happening in so many ways right now because of who's running the federal government, right?

If, as you and I sit here, we hear about somebody, it sounds like a father shot possibly in the presence of his toddler, right?

And we have no confidence right now that we can even believe authorities when they give their initial account of what happened because the last time they did, they were lying.

Everything starts to fall apart, including your ability to feel safe in your own home.

Like, I would not wish it on anybody.
