What to Make of the Canada-EU Summit?
O tym podcaście
The Red Passport. The special passport used by Canadian diplomats accredited abroad or travelling from Ottawa on high-level business. Louise Blais, Jeremy Kinsman and Peter Donolo have all held the Red Passport at key moments in their careers – and in Canada's recent history. In every episode of the CIC's new podcast, they offer listeners their own "Red Passport", giving them an inside view how Canadian governments and policy makers try to steer our country through today's turbulent world – while advancing our interests, and keeping true to our values.
