Is the U.K. the Key Ally Canada Needs?

from The Rundown · host TVO

Canada's relationship with the U.S. may go back a long way, but our relationship with the United Kingdom goes back even further. And, with Canada-U.S. relations being as contentious as they now are, can or should Britain fill the role America used to play and become our number one ally once again? Host Steve Paikin asks: Mel Cappe, Canada's Former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Distinguished Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto. Ann Fitz-Gerald, Director of the Balsillie School of International Affairs and Professor of Political Science at Wilfrid Laurier University; Luke Savage, a journalist whose work has appeared in Jacobin, the New Statesman, and the Toronto Star. He's also the co-author of the late Ed Broadbent's memoir: "Seeking Social Democracy: Seven Decades in the Fight for Equality." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
