Friday Focus: Trump’s territorial aspirations – Liberal leadership race

On this week’s Friday Focus, Rudyard and Janice start with Donald Trump’s comments about territorial expansion in Greenland, the Panama Canal, and even Canada. Is this part of an America First agenda?  And how should Canada respond to an incoming U.S. President who does not take well to weaker countries standing up for themselves? In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Janice turn to the big news out of Ottawa this week: Justin Trudeau is stepping down as Prime Minister in March and proroguing Parliament until the party chooses a new leader. Who gets to vote in this contest? And why is Justin Trudeau sticking around during this process instead of stepping aside for an interim leader who is better equipped to take on the incoming Trump administration?
