In this week's episode we dive into the latest headlines shaping the Great White North. We start by examining the glaring absence of Canada in NATO discussions. As a country known for its contributions to international peace and security, why is Canada being left out? We explore the implications of this exclusion and what it means for Canada's role on the global stage.
Next, we unpack the intriguing change of tone from News Media Canada who represents Canadian News interests. They see the benefit that Meta and Google brought to them and we discuss their stance against the Online News Act.
Finally, we delve into a financial mystery that has piqued the nation's interest - the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's investigation into the staggering $54 million spent on the ArriveCan app. What's the story behind this eye-popping figure, and what could it mean for the future of digital border security and public trust in government spending?
Join us as we navigate these significant Canadian stories and insightful perspectives on the evolving stories that shape the nation.
