Canada Is Angry at Trump. Leighton Grey Says Look Closer to Home
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Leighton Grey
Lawyer and Grey Matter host Leighton Grey returns to discuss what he sees behind the growing divide between Canada and the United States. Grey argues that the conflict goes much deeper than tariffs and trade, touching on Canadian identity, faith, religious liberty and the political direction of the country. He also discusses Donald Trump, Mark Carney, the rhetoric surrounding Canada-U.S. relations and why he believes Canadians should be paying closer attention to their own government as tensions with their closest neighbour continue.
