Canada
Sky-high tariffs, threats of annexation and now, a federal election. Big issues debated.
Sky-high tariffs, a federal election and US threats to annex their country: Canadians have a lot of issues to address.
Jonny Dymond hosts a debate with leading politicians and people putting questions from across six time zones. Should Canada have an independent nuclear deterrent? Can it join the EU? What about housing, immigration and the climate impact on Canada’s extraordinary environment?
It’s a deeply felt discussion as some Canadians voice a sense of betrayal from their closest ally.
The Panel:
Heather McPherson: Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, New Democratic Party
Stéphane Bergeron: Former Foreign Affairs and International Trade Spokesperson, Bloc Quebecois
Kate Harrison: Conservative Strategist and Vice Chair of Summa Strategies
Nathaniel Erskine-Smith: Minister of Housing, Liberal Party
Presenter: Jonny Dymond
