CFRA Weekends - The Canadian MP who once spied for the Soviet Union

From today's conflict in Iran, to the 4 years of bloodshed between Russia and Ukraine, and the countless battles before them, humanity has witnessed the varying degrees of economic gut-punches that war can bring. But lost in the shuffle, more importantly, is the amount of families that have been uprooted during times of war.
