It’s shaping up to be a rather busy and eventful week. We start with the latest out of the G7 Leaders’ Summit taking place in Kananaskis Village right here in Alberta. We’ll re-cap what Prime Minister Mark Carney and US President Donald Trump had to say to reporters Monday morning and where things stand between our two countries,
We’ll have some further analysis of the situation unfolding with Israel and Iran, which is casting quite a large shadow over the G7 summit. We'll get some perspective on what's happening in Iran as hear from with Kaveh Shahrooz, an Iranian-Canadian human rights lawyer and activist.
We will also have some further analysis on the other security, defense, and foreign policy issues the G7 leaders are confronting at this summit and what it all means for Canada. Of course, Canada just recently announced a major increase in defense spending. We will hear from Dr. Rob Huebert political science professor at the University of Calgary and interim director of the Centre for Military, Security and Strategic Studies
Plus, a closer look at Ottawa's Bill C-5 and in particular the One Canadian Economy Act. What's it all going to mean for Canada's and Alberta's energy developments? Can Canada really become “an energy superpower?” And if so, what kind of projects need to get built in this country? We'll hear from Heather Exner-Pirot, a senior fellow and director of Energy, Natural Resources, and the Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
