Building Up Arctic Defence & Rebuilding St. Anne's Anglican Church

On this episode of The Alex Pierson Podcast, Alex first turns her attention to the Arctic Circle after Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly announced that she is in the process of crafting a new Arctic foreign policy. But why is she doing this now, do we really need to improve Arctic security and which 2 nations is she working with that make this a historic moment? Well, Alex turns to Marcus Kolga, a Sr. Fellow at Macdonald-Laurier Institute Centre for Advancing Canada’s Interests Abroad and Director of DisInfoWatch. Marcus breaks down which nation is threatening Arctic stability and why this policy needs to be figured out ASAP.

And finally, after a devastating fire completely destroyed St. Anne's Anglican Church in the heart of Toronto, Alex speaks with the parish priest, Reverand Don Beyers. Just a few days after the fire a GoFundMe was started to help raise $1 million to get the rebuilding process underway.
