A recent report from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) says the United States and Canada’s top military generals discussed a plan for an integrated military.

The CBC reports the civilian government wasn’t involved in the talks.
Here & Now’s Meghna Chakrabarti speaks with James Cudmore, the CBC journalist who broke the story.
