The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

Another horrific scene, this time in Gaza, and of all places a hospital.  Who did it and why?  That is the question today as accusations and counter-accusations reverberate across the Middle East and the world. Bruce Anderson is by with a classic SMT on this.  Plus some thoughts on Pierre Poilievre's apple-picking video.

Former Harper cabinet minister James Moore and former Trudeau principal secretary Gerald Butts discuss crisis management in organizations and governments, the role of journalists in crisis moments, the loss of political accountability, the impact of social media on politics, and how minister resignations affect government perception.

Middle East expert Janice Stein joins Peter Mansbridge to discuss Hamas's motivations and the potential consequences of their recent attacks on Israel. They delve into the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, analyzing Israel's strategy and suggesting possible approaches. The CEO of Enbridge, Greg Ebel, also shares his idea to move Canadian natural gas to export markets in Europe and China. They explore the opportunities and challenges of natural gas exports, the potential influence on climate change debates, and the importance of balancing domestic and global goals.

A week of horror is analyzed as the hosts discuss the Middle East situation, global safety concerns, and the impact of social media on the Israel-Palestine conflict. They also address the challenges faced by journalists reporting on the conflict, the debate on transparency in reporting on government officials, and controversies at the NDP convention.

All this and more this week on Your Turn.
