The book's editor, David S. Koffman, joins to discuss the merits behind the argument: how Canada might be the most inviting, safe and tolerant country for Jews in the world. Plus: Liberal MP Ya'ara Saks joins to discuss her government's recent decision to send an additional $25 million to help Gazans in need. Where is the money going?
