Canada's foreign affairs minister says he's confident a new round of economic sanctions will further isolate Belarus even as neighbouring Russia dismisses international outrage over the forced landing of an international flight carrying a prominent dissident.
On this week’s show: Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau responds to the arrest of a dissident journalist in Belarus and an expert panel looks at whether Canada’s condemnation of the act goes far enough. Plus a political scientist explores the federal response to Quebec’s language bill, a teen activist discusses climate lawsuits against governments and a law professor sets up Canada’s anticipated military justice review.
