Some guests need no introduction. Ladies and gentlemen, Martin Short.

Steve and Martin Short discuss what it’s like being a proud Canadian in America today, Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air, if there is increasingly a cost to be paid for making jokes about the wrong people in America, and Mark Carney’s "elbows up" commercial with Mike Myers. Then, a deep dive into Short’s comedy career, his experience on Johnny Carson and David Letterman, making fun of Conan, his love for Diane Keaton, meeting his hero Frank Sinatra, who he thinks was the greatest late show guest of all time, and why he and Steve Martin are the bestest of pals.

Then a look at PM Carney’s attempts to secure a trade deal with America.

Canadians are just a few weeks away from learning what Prime Minister Mark Carney has in mind when it comes to defence spending. Will Canada ramp up its investments? Will we meet our NATO commitments? And what should we invest in? New American-made F-35 fighter planes? New ice breakers for the Arctic? Joining the Golden Dome defense system?

Wesley Warks joins Janice Stein in this episode of World on Edge to discuss the state of Canada’s military and how Canada should defend itself in a changing world order.
