On GZERO World, Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand spoke with Ian Bremmer on two pressing issues for Canada: China's spy balloons and the crisis in Haiti.

Despite a suspected Chinese spy balloon being shot down over the Yukon and the need for Ottawa to have an Indo-Pacific strategy, Anand acknowledges that the world is becoming "increasingly dark" as Canada must keep "eyes wide open" on China.

In terms of Chinese apps, Canada has already banned TikTok on government devices and Anand has extended the same ban to her own children.

Regarding Haiti, the US has asked Canada to send troops to help restore security, but Canada wants to focus on Haitian-led solutions. Anand admits it's difficult when all elected officials have fled the country, but believes throwing money at the problem won't make it go away. As she tells Bremmer, "we need to ensure we're taking a measured approach."
