The Week with Mark Sutcliffe

September 21, 2014

Mark welcomes Althia Raj, Ottawa bureau chief for The Huffington Post and Andrew Cohen, author, columnist and professor at Carleton University’s School of Journalism and Communication. Viewers are also invited to share their thoughts about the week’s political stories: DEBATE RE ISIL RESPONSE The absence of some senior politicians at an emergency debate on Canada's response to ISIL sparked criticism.

How will Canada assess when to leave Iraq? And what can be done to prevent more Canadians from joining ISIL?

In Canada, observers watched to see if there were implications for Quebec's sovereignty movement. Did Scotland make the right choice? And what does this decision mean for Canada? UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VISITS CANADA Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko thanked Canada for its support during his country’s struggle with Russia. Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced more humanitarian aid for Ukraine. And the government defended its handling of sanctions imposed on Russia. Is Canada right to take such a strong position against Russia?
