The Buffer Zone

Is Canada really neutral… or just playing it smart?

In this episode of The Buffer Zone, we break down Canada’s foreign policy through the lens of the ongoing Iran conflict. While Canada has stayed out of direct military action, its diplomatic stance, alliances, and strategic decisions tell a more complex story.
