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. And for innocent children who are caught in the crossfire, any day can pose a life-or-death scenario. Geoffrey Johnston is an International Affairs columnist with the Kingston Whig-Standard. He joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.
