World on Edge: Are We Trapped in a Global Nuclear Arms Race?

MIT’s Vipin Narang joins Janice Stein to discuss the global nuclear arms race, how the United States “now faces a Category 5 hurricane of nuclear threats,” why China wants to become a nuclear powerhouse, how Russia and Putin plausibly threatened the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, and why this was the closest we came to nuclear war since the height of the Cuban missile crisis. They then discuss the Iran War, how it makes us “way worse off now,” the bar for the deployment of American nuclear weapons, whether more countries such as Saudi Arabia or South Korea want a nuclear weapon now, if Canada should get a nuke, and if the rationale of mutual assured destruction (MAD) is still in play today.

Paik’s Takes: End of the Auto Industry in Canada, Rising Discontent, and the Tragically Hip

In our second edition of “Paik’s Takes,” Steve is joined by The Big Story’s Caryn Ceolin to share, well, a few takes and answer some listener questions. Should we stop subsidizing the auto industry in Canada? Should Canada start its own automaker? As Canadians are we obliged to cheer for the Montreal Canadiens – especially if we are Toronto Maple Leaf fans? They also discuss why trust in institutions is cratering, the future of Canadian identity, “Maple MAGA” and rising discontent, Mike Harris stepping down as Premier, and Tragically Hip Kawartha Lakes flavour due out on Canada Day.   Support us: patreon.com/thepaikinpodcast [patreon.com/thepaikinpodcast]   Follow The Paikin Podcast:   YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/@ThePaikinPodcast [http://www.youtube.com/@ThePaikinPodcast] SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/1OhwznCIUEA11lZGcNIM4h?si=b5d73bc7c3a041b7 [https://open.spotify.com/show/1OhwznCIUEA11lZGcNIM4h?si=b5d73bc7c3a041b7] X: x.com/ThePaikinPod [x.com/ThePaikinPod] INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thepaikinpodcast [ instagram.com/thepaikinpodcast] BLUESKY: bsky.app/profile/thepaikinpodcast.bsky.social [bsky.app/profile/thepaikinpodcast.bsky.social]   Email us at: thepaikinpodcast@gmail.com
