Join host Laura Babcock for a compelling discussion with Michael Mahoney, a retired naval officer from the Canadian Armed Forces who now lives in Nova Scotia. This conversation sheds light on Canada’s critical position in a volatile world, the urgent threats we face as a nation, and what each of us can DO about them! In these pivotal times, we need strong leadership, and Prime Minister Mark Carney represents a vision that embraces unity and security, in stark contrast to Pierre Poilievre’s negativity. Mahoney, who has extensive experience sailing the Strait of Hormuz, brings invaluable insights into our military strategies and Carney's recent decision to invest in a fleet of submarines. This move is essential for safeguarding our democracy and ensuring we are prepared for the challenges ahead. Don’t miss this enlightening and inspiring discussion! It’s time for Canadians to recognize the importance of protecting our democracy and to support leaders who prioritize our national security.
