Part 1:
We talk with Steve Paikin, Canadian journalist, broadcaster, and talk show host.
We discuss what is the future for Canada, after the Canadian Prime Minister's speech at Davos. We are not friends any more, and the new reality is that Canada will likely sever many ties to the US. Canada will be spending more on its defense.
Part 2:
We talk with Eric Lob, Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and International Relations, Florida International University.
We discuss the Iranian situation: massive popular protests in Iran, the government's brutal repression, and what is likely to come next. Reza Pahlavi, now the putative shah, is attempting to capitalize on the unrest, and return the Pahlavi family to power with himself as the monarchy's head.
