Episode notes
Military Members Linked to Terror Plot
- A Quebec terror plot involved military members forming an anti-government militia with plans to seize land.
- This case shows the intersection of military training and extremist anti-government ideology in Canada.
Military Extremism Risks
- Extremist infiltration in the military is not new; militaries can attract individuals wanting to overthrow governments.
- Military knowledge and access to arms increase the threat from such extremist recruits.
Copper Tariff's Mixed Impact
- Trump's 50% tariff on copper aims to encourage domestic copper production in the U.S.
- While it may boost U.S. production, it raises costs for industries and challenges Canadian exporters, especially in Ontario and Quebec.
