Is Canada's Foreign Policy Biased? | The Rundown

Canada says it stands for human rights, but its foreign policy often reflects hard-nosed realities. Prime Minister Mark Carney argues Canada must deal with the world as it is, but Ottawa is deepening ties with countries like the UAE and China despite serious human rights concerns. So when values clash with economics and geopolitics, what really drives Canada's decisions? The Rundown begins there, before turning to the latest developments in the war in Iran and its global fallout. Guests: Bessma Momani, a professor of political science at the University of Waterloo and a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation; and Michael Taube, a columnist for several publications, including the National Post, Troy Media, and Loonie Politics. 00:00 Intro 00:53 Values vs. Interests: Who Does Canada Deal With? 01:02 Iran, Nukes, and Canada’s Realpolitik 01:49 Carney at Davos: Pragmatism or Principle? 03:38 Is Canada Putting the Economy First? 06:25 Trade Deals With Questionable Partners 08:21 Is Canada’s Foreign Policy Selective? 11:19 Do Canada’s Actions Match Its Ideals? 12:50 Are International Rules Being Abandoned? 15:39 Can Morality Survive Modern War? 17:07 What Should Canada’s Foreign Policy Be? 20:50 War in Iran: Is This Iraq All Over Again? 23:54 AI Warfare and the Accountability Problem 27:06 Global Fallout: Gaza, Oil, and Russia About The Rundown: The Rundown is your nightly half-hour deep dive into just one headline.
