Could Canada Become the Next Ukraine?
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Leighton Grey
Could Canada become the next Ukraine? As Mark Carney strengthens ties with Europe and tensions with the United States continue, constitutional lawyer Leighton Grey raises concerns about Canada being drawn into a conflict that isn't ours to fight. Drawing from his article Canadian Proxy War: Will We Become the Next Ukraine?, Grey examines Europe's military preparations, Canada's dependence on American defence, the influence of political propaganda and the consequences of abandoning our closest ally. The conversation also challenges Canadians to consider what true sovereignty means and why Christian conviction must stand above political allegiance.
