Listen "Canada & U.S. on opposite sides of ceasefire call, new poll casts doubt on Trudeau"

Episode Synopsis

Ottawa and Washington are no longer on the same page publicly on the Israel-Hamas war following Canada’s vote in favour of a United Nations resolution demanding an ‘immediate humanitarian ceasefire.’ ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson sits down with U.S. Ambassador David Cohen about the U.N. vote, calls for Canada to label the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist group, and possible Canadian define spending cuts.
Plus, following the House of Commons rising for the holidays, Stephenson is joined by The Globe and Mail’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Bob Fife and Toronto Star’s parliamentary reporter Stephanie Levitz to respond new Ipsos polling numbers that show the majority of Canadians think Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should resign as Liberal Party leader in 2024.
