Will Netanyahu Ever Agree To A Ceasefire? Is Putin Really Interested in Peace Talks?03 Sep 202400:47:20

We begin Year Five of The Bridge with Janice Stein's latest analysis of the two major international crises facing our world. In the middle east, the story remains Israel and Hamas and the Israeli prime minister's position on a ceasefire. Benjamin Netanyahu is facing hundreds of thousands of protestors in his own country and an enemy using murderous tactics on the other side. In Russia, Vladimir Putin talks peace, but is he serious?

Encore Presentation - Moore Butts Conversation # 13 - How high does foreign policy rate when parties meet?17 Jul 202400:46:39

Today an encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on January 23rd. For the most part the old saying that foreign policy isn't what Canadians vote on, but does that mean Canadian governments and political parties take a pass on worrying about foreign matters?  Time for another great Moore Butts conversation, this time #13 of our series.  Former Conservative cabinet minister James Moore and former principal secretary to the prime minister Gerald Butts take us inside the process.
