Should Canada Leave the UN?

Real Talk Ryan Jespersen

Dr. Leslyn Lewis can't be serious. The high-profile Conservative MP is backing a petition calling for Canada to walk away from the United Nations. Dr. Lewis' critics (like Liberal MP Rob Oliphant) are calling on opposition leader Pierre Poilievre to speak out against Lewis' endorsement, wondering aloud if Conservative foreign policy would be to “abandon our international obligations on human rights, women’s rights, children and so much more".

6:07 | Does Canada need the UN? Does the UN need Canada? What might be the consequences of leaving the UN? Do questions like this even deserve our valuable time and attention? Charles Adler chimes in.

35:30 | Premier Danielle Smith isn't ruling out changes to Alberta's liquor retail regulations which would pave the way for supermarkets and convenience stores to enter the booze business. What's the ripple effect for entrepreneurs, including liquor store owners? The CEBA repayment deadline is looming. How many businesses will be able to meet their obligations...and what if they can't? Alberta Chambers of Commerce President and CEO Shauna Feth has her Eye on Alberta Business.
