Manage episode 422732353 series 2342620
Conservative Party U.K. PM Rishi Sunak is firm that if he's elected to serve as prime minister following the July 4 British election that national service (in U.K. Military or civilian organizations) will be mandatory for all on reaching their18th birthday. Would this work in Canada and, as we asked last Sunday, should Pierre Poilievre introduce as part of his election campaign? Today the word from Britain.
Also: Sunak's commitment to deport refugee claimants who crossed the English Channel by boat through already chartered flights to Uganda was formally passed by the British government.
Guest: Katja Heuer. Anglo/German historian, professor, author: Beyond the Wall, 1949-1990.
(Just returned from observing local elections in Germany and the mood among the German electorate is decidedly unpleasant.)
