World on Edge: How 9/11 Led to the Decline of American Empire10 sep1 u 03 min

Canada's foreign minister during 9/11, John Manley, joins Janice Stein on World on Edge to look back on the attacks, whether they were the most significant event of the 21st century, how they reshaped the global order, the war on terror, the forever wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and PM Jean Chrétien's decision not to join the coalition that attacked Iraq.

They also discuss Canada's involvement in Afghanistan, the Canadian relationship with the United States in the early 2000s, the revival of George W. Bush's legacy, Canada's role in the post-9/11 world, and how the world saw America in 2001 versus how it sees it today.
