About this episode
It's been more than a quarter of a century since a Canadian Prime Minister touched down on Saudi Arabian soil to meet with the country's leader. That was until PM Carney headed south from Turkey to visit the Kingdom last week.
The trip is a part of Carney's quest to find new global alliances and trading partners aside from the US.
Host Maria Kestane speaks to Sabine Nolke, former foreign service officer for Global Affairs to discuss what exactly Canada could be getting out of a relationship with the gulf nation, and whether or not Carney is missing the mark when it comes to picking countries that align with Canadian values.
