For this week’s episode, in global politics, we talk (yep, once again) about Russia's invasion of the Ukraine. We take a bit of a different take on it this time by chatting about how the conflict could alter the world order - with possibly bolstering the assentation of China as a challenger to the US. For Canadian federal politics, we talk about the new entrants into the conservative leadership - with Mike trying to convince David to care about the race (even at this early stage). Will he succeed in doing so - you'll have to listen to find out!
We have a ShowReport this week from David on The Americans, which is a spy drama of Russian covert operatives who are trying to infiltrate the US government in the 1980s.
