Refugees to Canada living on the sidewalks of Toronto.
Immigration number to increase to 500,000 annually by 2025 according to the federal government.
Meanwhile,15-20% of immigrants to Canada leave within the first 10 years of being here. 
At this time an anti-immigrant, anti-migrant backlash is being experienced in Europe. The Netherlands government has fallen on the issue. - Political parties challenging immigration policies have been voted into office, or hold the balance of power in Italy and Finland. In Austria, the Freedom Party, also challenging immigration numbers is leading in the polls. - Similar situation exists in Germany - An anti-immigrant political party is receiving increased backing in Sweden.
So how are Canadians feeling about the issue of immigration? We look at pre-Covid and post-Covid Canada with two IPSOS polls. 2019 IPSOS headline: Canadians becoming more nervous about immigration. 
Guest: Darrell Bricker. CEO, IPSOS Public Affairs
 
Justin Trudeau just spent days attending the NATO conference making sweeping statements about Canada's commitment to the Alliance. These have been met with eye-rolling and criticism of Canada's meagre commitment to defence-spending. Editorial comment by the Wall Street Journal: 'Canada is a Military Free Rider in NATO.' - John Ivison, NP, "Our NATO allies have little patience left for Trudeau's freeloading."  
Why the criticism? Canada's military stands at just below 63k members with antiquated and out of commission weapons and weapons systems. Canada's soldiers on a training mission for the Ukraine military in Poland were told by DND to eat at restaurants. They have though not been reimbursed for their meal expenses. - An additional 700 members of the CAF in Latvia have been buying their own ballistic helmets, rain gear, as well as vests and belts to carry water and ammunition. The Canadian battle group commander describes the situation as "concerning, verging on embarrassing."  
Guest: Vice-Admiral Mark Norman (ret'd). Fmr Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy and Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff.
 
On Tuesday the U.S. Senate began hearings on whether COVID-19 may have been created in a lab. We speak with Professor Alison Young, author of the new book Pandora's Gamble: Lab Leaks and a World at Risk. She was the first journalist to obtain an exclusive interview with the NIH's Dr. Anthony Fauci in 2020 and writes about supposedly secure bio lab leaks which happen(ed) not only in China, but in places like the U.S. as well. 
Guest: Professor Alison Young, recipient of three National Press Club and three Scripps Howard Awards for investigative journalism. She is Curtis B Hurley Chair in Public Affairs Reporting and the director of the University of Missouri's School of Journalism in Washington, D.C.
 
Hollywood on strike! What is this strike about and why is this one described as very serious.
And: Another blockbuster for Tom Cruise with the latest Mission Impossible movie. Is he the most successful Hollywood actor ever?
Guest: Murray Pomerance. Is an independent scholar and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Media and Communications at RMIT University, Melbourne. His most recent book, just out in paperback, is COLOR IT TRUE: Impressions of Cinema. One of the most respected authors of books about film and the actors and directors.
