    World on Edge: Canada’s New Foreign Policy, Waking Up, and Carney the Statesman

    2026-10-09 | 56 mins.
    Andrew Cohen joins Janice Stein on World on Edge to discuss Canada’s foreign policy, whether Canada is now “awake,” the peacekeeping era, Carney the statesman, whether his “middle powers” coalition is more than just speeches, Canada’s defence spending, and whether “soft power” still matters in the world today.
    They also discuss Arctic sovereignty, Canada becoming an “associate member” of the EU, to what extent we can go our own way without America, and Quebec’s recent election.

    Martha Hall Findlay: The Price Tag for Separation and Alberta the 51st State?

    2026-09-30 | 43 mins.
    Martha Hall Findlay joins Steve to discuss the University of Calgary’s new study on the economics of Alberta’s separation, how much it would cost Alberta to separate, estimates of up to $170 billion in the first five years, the difficulty of negotiating pipelines if you’re not part of Canada, and the smoother versus more “turbulent” fiscal possibilities.
    They also discuss Indigenous treaty complications, hiring 60k people into a new Albertan civil service, the possibility of Alberta becoming the 51st state, why Alberta would end up more like Puerto Rico than Texas, and the comparisons of the upcoming referendum to Brexit.

    World on Edge: Geopolitics of AI, the Iran War, and Canadian Unity

    2026-09-24 | 51 mins.
    Janice Stein joins Steve on World on Edge to discuss the geopolitics of AI, whether growing fears that AI could annihilate humanity are overblown, the AI arms race with China, and Trump's threats to "destroy" Iran.
    Then Sandy White joins to discuss Canada's dual separatisms and whether the huge national focus on Alberta's upcoming referendum may leave us vulnerable to separatists in Quebec.
