The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

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.

The former national leader of the NDP has been saying some nice things about Mark Carney lately.  Is it nothing more than just exercising his new role as a political analyst or could it be more than that?  Fun to talk about with Bruce and Chantal.  Also some fascinating comparisons between Canada and the UK as the British heard into an election campaign with the governing party down twenty points.  Sound Familiar?  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It was a remarkable weekend for events.  Events that have made the situation in the Middle East even more uncertain in what to expect next.  A helicopter crash in a remote region of Iran takes out the country's leadership, and a decision from prosecutors at the International Criminal Court has put the leadership of Israel and Hamas on notice.  What happens now?  Dr Janice Stein makes her regular weekly visit with her analysis.
