This week, we spoke to Yves Engler, a fellow with the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute, about the Liberal government's $40 billion "modernization" plan for NORAD. We discuss the binational military command's history, how it undermines Canadian sovereignty, and how weapons dealers benefit from public spending on the program.
