Galloway talks to Peter MacKay, a Conservative cabinet minister in former prime minister Stephen Harper's government, who ran for party leadership in 2020.And Liberal Leader Mark Carney has said he'll govern for all Canadians, but a tight race has laid bare some of the divisions he'll face as he tries to unite Canada in the face of threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.
