Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's brother Alexandre says Canada has lost its unique voice in the world and fallen into the role of a "confused follower nation" — but building a unique relationship with China could help fix that. Alexandre made the comments in an interview with CBC News Network's Power & Politics, where he was promoting his book Barbarian Lost: Travels in the New China.
