Canada's Most Decorated Soldier on a War with America | The Agenda

Описание: You might think all this talk of the United States taking over Canada is unique to the era of Trump. However, the fact is, someone wrote about this very scenario more than half a century ago in two bestselling books. The first was called Ultimatum and the second Exxoneration, and they told the story of a voracious America trying to take over resource-rich Canada. The author followed that up with a third installment in the series in 2007 and he is with us tonight. He is Richard Rohmer, World War II veteran, Canada's most decorated soldier, and author of more than 30 books.
