March 8, 2026 | Jennifer Welsh joined the Cross Country Checkup to discuss Canada's potential role as conflict escalates in the Middle East. She noted that while Canadian military involvement remains unlikely, scenarios such as an attack on a NATO ally or support to Gulf states could prompt engagement.
