WITH GUEST HOST TAMARA CHERRY
8:30 – The Globe and Mail has been reporting on Harjit Sajjan, Canada’s minister of defence during the fall of Kabul in August of 2021, when he reportedly instructed special forces to rescue Afghan Sikhs while Kabul was falling. Sajjan refutes the story. Globe and Mail Ottawa Bureau chief, Robert Fife, joins Tamara Cherry.
9:00 – Now that Americans and Canadians have had time to process the dismal presidential debate from last week, Tamara Cherry welcomes Richard Shimooka, senior fellow at the McDonald-Laurier Institute and regular contributor to The Hub, to revisit and react to the debate last week through the lens of Russia, China and other autocratic regimes. Shimooka also discusses what he sees as the broader missing context of the Harjit Sajjan affair in Afghanistan.
