Episode Description

A Mexican military raid that killed a drug lord and triggered a surge of cartel violence on Sunday has left thousands of Canadians stuck by cancelled flights or shelter-in-place orders. Canada's Ambassador to Mexico Cameron MacKay praises the Mexican president's cartel strategy for 'producing results' — and when asked about the lack of warning Ottawa says it received from Mexico, MacKay says 'we understand' that few people could know about the operation to execute it. Then, Ukraine's Ambassador to Canada Andrii Plakhotniuk discusses what his country still needs from Canada on the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale war, and responds to the apparent stalemate in peace talks.
