"86" - Canada Day Special - Canada Was Never Just Peacekeepers — We Were Cold War Warriors + How CUSMA Betrayed Canadian Farmers and Destroyed Our Food Security

from No BS with Brad Smith · host Brad Smith /Curiouscast

Sean Maloney destroys the soft “Canada is only a peacekeeping nation” myth and reveals how Canada was a serious warrior player deep into the Cold War long after the peacekeeping label stuck. Then Sylvain Charlebois breaks down the ugly truth about CUSMA and trade negotiations — or the lack of them — and how they’ve created massive food price inflation and made Canada dangerously dependent on foreign supply chains. From grocery bills to national security, this one hits hard on what we’ve lost and why our food system feels so broken
