This week on The Paikin Podcast, Steve is joined by prominent international relations expert Janice Stein and Erin O'Toole, a former leader of the federal Conservative Party.
They break down the historically massive increase in military spending contained in last week’s budget, where all that money should go (submarines or drones?) and why we need a made-in-Canada approach.
The panel also discusses how seriously Canadians should take Donald Trump's 51st state rhetoric, if we are on the precipice of war with Russia or China, how to assert our sovereignty in the Arctic, and why it's so important for Canada to meet its NATO commitments.
