Canada's top soldier in Kyiv, politicians call for action on foreign agents | The World This Weekend

Gen. Wayne Eyre, Canada's Chief of the Defence Staff, made a secretive visit to Kyiv this weekend where he says Canada's contributions are being noticed on the battlefields of Ukraine. Meanwhile, current and former politicians say Canada needs more transparency to prevent outside interference in light of recent claims that China has meddled in the past two federal elections. Beijing has denied those accusations.

These are just some of the top stories on the March 5, 2023 edition of The World This Weekend.
