The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

Chantal and Bruce on Danielle Smith's win in Alberta and what it means for Canada.  Plus, is Pierre Poilievre's social media out of control and if so, who's to blame? Also, the mess at Hockey Canada and will it ever be cleaned up?

Last week the RR had his say on the issue of electric vehicles, EVs, and this week we hear the fallout, both good and bad, on Your Turn. But the Ranter isn't done either as he has "take two".  Plus lots of your other comments on everything from freedom to Trump to Trudeau and surfing.

Bruce is in the UK this week so not surprisingly he has a few things to say about the chaos the latest British Prime Minister finds herself in.  Also, a little Donald Trump bashing just to stay consistent.  But the big question revolves around electoral reform and whether it will ever happen here, especially after Monday's Quebec election results.

It's another Brian Stewart Tuesday as the former war correspondent helps us put the various elements of the Ukraine War into context while giving us a little history at the same time.  Plus, are the rich really getting richer?

They’re back! James Moore and Gerald Butts are back by popular demand. The two experienced political observers drop their partisan positions (or sure try) to give us their take. This time the conversation is about what happens and what needs to happen inside a party when a new leader takes power. 

Bruce is off for this week's Good Talk but Rob Russo fills in with Chantal.  Is there reason for optimism with progress on Truth and Reconciliation? And in a fight between climate change and inflation who wins? Plus the Quebec election is next week and so is the search for a new premier in Alberta.

Lots of different questions, comments and ideas this week.  Plus the Random Ranter takes a shot at a very popular Bridge topic: EV's!

Bruce Anderson with his take on a potpourri of issues that really do the range.  A new study on Covid in The US, questions about questions in the media; and wondering about fascism in Italy. 

Brian Stewart is with us again after a critical week in the war over Ukraine.  Threats and counter threats, especially ones involving nuclear weapons, have many people worried, including Brian. Also, today, how steps per day are important but so is the pace you do those steps.  Plus the amazing weight of ants.  That's right, the weight of ants!

Some comments about the destruction of Fiona on Canada's east coast.  Plus a new study from Mainstreet Research with results that suggest almost half of Canadians don't trust their media.  And then, a feature interview to mark this week's National Day of Truth and Reconciliation on Friday.
