Global conflicts and annexation threats: What's Canada's role in a changing world?

World leaders gathered at the United Nations HQ this week in New
York to discuss a wide-ranging set of issues — and Canada made
headlines by announcing it now recognizes the state of Palestine.
Ambassador Bob Rae joins The House to talk about the federal
government’s decision, Trump’s change of heart over Ukraine and
what to make of the U.S. president’s hour-long, combative address
to the world.

Plus, Canada and Greenland already had plenty in common before
facing threats of annexation from the White House — but all that
attention could make for a timely reason to strengthen a key
relationship. CBC's Emma Godmere travels to Greenland’s capital
of Nuuk to hear from residents about being in the international
spotlight and pursuing stronger ties with Canada. Her reporting
was made possible by the R. James Travers Foreign Corresponding
Fellowship.

Then, two Hill watchers discuss how Prime Minister Mark Carney is
managing the fallout from the leaked audio recording of his
public safety minister appearing to undermine the Liberals’
long-promised gun buyback program.

Finally, as a group of federal and provincial privacy
commissioners raise alarms over how much information TikTok
collects from Canadian users, Vass Bednar, managing director of
the Canadian SHIELD Institute, explains why these concerns matter
and how Canada should manage the social media powerhouse.
