And most of them will be inflicted upon the Bureau of Pension Advocates, which provides critical support to Canadian veterans.

But after a controversial visit to the White House went viral, they were greeted with a barrage of tough questions from the media. CFRA’s Chris Holski reacts to their replies.

Working with American officials for decades, across multiple administrations and institutions, my years living in Washington were part of that experience. In moments of real pressure, I saw first-hand the seriousness with which many approached power—particularly the understanding that power must be constrained if it is to be legitimate and durable. That understanding mattered, and it shaped outcomes. I was...
