Update: 2024-07-13
Description
The fate of Joe Biden's presidency loomed large over this week’s NATO meeting, but Justin Trudeau had some big news of his own — agreeing to a major increase in military spending. Canada’s ambassador to the U.S. joins The House to talk about the summit, the spending and this country’s response to the American political drama.
Then, a dive into the recent slew of high-profile instances of crumbling infrastructure — from water mains to public pools — and how governments might go about fixing them.
Plus — for our Book Smart Summer series, author Wendy Wong talks about far-reaching data collection and its implications for our privacy, our relationships and our very humanity.

- Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman
- Matt Gurney, The Line

- Mary Rowe, president and CEO, Canadian Urban Institute
- Wendy Wong, author, We, The Data: Human Rights in the Digital Age
