The venerable Canadian International Council (CIC) recently arrived on the web as www.opencanada.org, an exciting new hub for discussion on Canada’s foreign policy and International Affairs. Erna has joined as a “Rapid Responder.” Responders are academics, journalists, and other foreign affairs buffs who have been invited to fire off their opinions (in 150 words or less) on weekly questions. Check out the website to experience high-level unmediated writing and conversation about Canada’s role in the world.
On this issue of The Agenda with Steve Paikin, Erna Paris joins guests Preston Manning, John Duffy, Andrew Coyne, and John Ibbitson to discuss the New Canadian Order: Canada is seeing the rise of a new power structure and shifting geo-political alliance. How will the shift of power from Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal to the West influence Canadian politics and identity?
