What's A Canadian Warship Doing in Cuba?

Real Talk Ryan Jespersen

Why is a Canadian warship docked beside Russian vessels in Cuba? And why didn't Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly even know about it, when asked over the weekend? Defence Minister Bill Blair says it's a "smart" move, while the opposition Conservatives are calling it "reckless, radical, and dangerous." Who's right?

2:15 | Charles Adler dishes Canadian common sense on the Cuba story. But first, we talk about the biggest story in the country over the weekend: the Oilers' 8-1 drubbing of the Florida Panthers in Game Four of the Stanley Cup Final. Plus, does Alison Redford deserve better? Ryan runs with a comment from Premier Danielle Smith from our June 12, 2024 episode. Charles Adler is presented weekly on Real Talk by Tice Automotive Consulting.
