The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

There are big issues for Bruce and Chantal to handle this week. There are good conversations on these three issues: whether certain unnamed Parliamentarians have been dealing with foreign actors and what should be done about it; an interest rate cut and whether it is a signal of a changing economic outlook; and, as Pierre Poilievre takes one of his MPs to the woodshed, he's getting great reviews for doing so.

Listeners reflect on what they wish they knew in their youth, covering self-worth, challenges, and embracing adulthood. Stories share lessons on relationships, societal awareness, and family history. Personal reflections emphasize health, gratitude, and connecting with roots. The impact of historical site visits on education is explored, with a focus on World War II experiences.

Today an encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on June 3rd. With the 80th anniversary of perhaps the greatest military gamble in history upon us this week, we look at D-Day.  Canada played a significant role that day, one in which we can be extremely proud.  Today we invite the well-known and much respected British historian James Holland onto The Bridge to guide us through the highlights of a day that changed the Second World War.

One of my favourite journalists, Nahlah Ayed, brings to light a little-known Canadian story that centres around preparations for D-Day. It really is at its heart a love story, but it's also a spy story with all the twists and turns that both elements can deliver. Another D-Day special as this week marks 80 years since that historic day.

We asked "What's on your mind?" and you answered "A lot"! From centralized power in the PMO, to what will happen to the Senate, to the use of the flag to the Middle East and everything in between. There's a lot of variety from all regions of the country and from overseas as well. And then the Random Ranter gets very worried about AI.
