Who to believe? Who would you believe if you had a choice between believing Jagmeet Singh or Elizabeth May? That question is being asked now concerning the whole "is there a traitor or traitors in the House" issue. Singh and May certainly sound like they disagree. Bruce and Chantal have their thoughts on this, plus, the capital gains tax may be flopping for the Liberals; and, who will young people vote for -- you may be surprised.

This week's issue was "Name your favourite Canadian song" and you responded in huge numbers. So much so that we'll have to stretch your answers into next week's Your Turn as well. There are some of Canada's well-known singers and composers in these answers but there are some hidden gems as well. Plus the random Ranter drops by with a heavy geopolitical question for you to ponder.

Four hostages were rescued from Hamas over the weekend by Israeli special forces, but does that change the situation in Gaza at all?  In fact, does it force an even longer war? Dr Janice Stein has her regular Monday analysis on this and on the Ukraine-Russia war where things may be about to change. Plus the latest on elections in India and South Africa.

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.

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.
