WINNIPEG — Barack Obama says there is a danger in the United States and around the world with politics being driven by passions disconnected from facts. The former president spoke to a sold-out crowd of 13,500 at the Bell MTS Centre during the first Canadian stop of the "Conversation with President Barack Obama" tour on Monday evening. While never mentioning current U.S. President Donald Trump, Obama said he's worried about the response to a similar situation today. "If we had a crisis today, I am concerned about the — at least the United States — that we may not be able to ... figure something out in a common-sense, practical way." Obama is able to cross over different boundaries, she said, and find the things that connect people.
