More than 100,000 federal workers are on strike across the country. The union is looking for wage increases that keep up with inflation and more say on working from home. Meanwhile, the strike is causing a series of disruptions for Canadians, including delays on tax returns and passport applications. ‘The West Block’ guest host Eric Sorensen speaks with Families, Children and Social Development Minister Karina Gould about the impact of the strike and what Canadians can expect. Plus, Sorensen speaks with Retired Lt.-Gen. Andrew Leslie, former Canadian army commander, and Retired Gen. Raymond Henault, former chief of the defence staff, about what’s at stake for Canada – and the global order – if we don’t meet NATO commitments.
