Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. \u201cDemocracy versus dictatorship\u201d in Venezuela. Why Canada should not release Meng Wanzhou. These are just some of the topics we cover in a feature interview with Chrystia Freeland, Canada\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs. She tells us about how she formed her political worldview, and how that worldview shapes Canada\u2019s foreign policy: \u201cSmall-l liberalism \u2026 does also require that we stand up for the rules-based international order and multilateral institutions because only in a world where those rules exist \u2026 can our own liberal Canada thrive.\u201d
