About this episode
In the immediate aftermath of the US-Israel strikes on Iran, Prime Minister Mark Carney came out with a declaration of support, which later developed into what he calls a 'regretful' position due to the lack of international order.
So what exactly is Canada's position? And what would military involvement mean for Canada?
Host Maria Kestane speaks with Dr. Alexander Salt, a post-doctoral fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute to discuss Carney's developing messages towards the conflict in Iran, and how Canada could be dragged into the war as a result of Trump's 'plans'.
