## Resource

A middle-aged graphic designer joins the Canadian Reserves, but her story reveals something bigger: our greatest friend and most important ally, the US, is now threatening our country. How prepared–or unprepared–are we to deal with this threat? Stephen Marche asks a range of Canadian leaders to grade our readiness – politically, economically, militarily. What are our strengths as a country? What are our weaknesses? Featuring ( in order of appearance ): Beatrice Winny, Greg Sorbara , Lisa Macleod , Francine Pelletier , Chief Rodger Redman ,  David Rosenberg , Philippe Lagassé   Hosted on Acast.
