Normally on World on Edge, we look at other countries in the thick of significant upheaval. But today, we turn the camera lens on ourselves. Martha Hall Findlay joins Janice Stein to discuss Alberta’s referendum results, what they mean, what comes next, what Danielle Smith will do with the separatists in her party, the referendum’s nine other questions, and rising anti-immigration sentiment. Then Janice and Steve discuss the protests and riots in France and across Europe, the grievances and economic pressures driving them, France’s long history of protest, the looting, and Trump’s claim that “the migrants have taken over France.”
