A World at War

Thank you all for an informative, thought provoking discussion which deserves the wide distribution CIC will give it.

Unparallelled insight into the way, professional diplomats, see the world in Canada place in it

Listening to this podcast is like sitting at an ambassador’s table hearing all the varied perspectives that decision-makers bring to managing international crisis, when the convivial atmosphere allows for a discussion of of what’s really at stake. The ultimate insiders view on Canadian foreign policy

E P Biggs ,

Red Passport

Three Canadian diplomats with deep international experience discuss fundamental issues with intelligence, humanity and wit. They’re not rushed by a TV producer so they can develop an argument in depth. It’s what podcasts do best. And…it’s not all Trump all the time. THANK GOD.
