Canada’s Week of Political Shockwaves Explained
Canada just had one of the most explosive political weeks in years. From a controversial new pipeline deal triggering a cabinet resignation, to a billion-dollar gun buyback rollout, to foreign aid spending Canadians didn’t ask for—Jonathan Harvey breaks it all down with clarity and edge.
