The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

Brian Stewart on the potential of a global famine because of the Ukraine/Russia conflict. Plus, everything from high gasoline prices to the width of airline seats.

James Moore, Conservative and Gerald Butts, Liberal, continue their very special conversations on The Bridge.  Special because they've agreed to keep partisan shots out of the discussion! Today the topic is leadership and the way parties choose their top person.  Is it good enough?  

Are there lessons about Doug Ford's second majority government win?  Bruce and Chantal have their thoughts on that. And what's the real reason former finance minister Bill Morneau is dumping on the Trudeau government?  Plus, what's behind Pierre Poilievre's twitter finger?

After Buffalo, after Texas and after new gun laws in Canada, it's time for your turn and you certainly deliver.  Lots of your letters this week with your thoughts, ideas and comments.

The Trudeau government moves on handguns as part of its latest firearms policy.  How are others not only in Canada but outside the country reacting?  Bruce is here with the latest episode of Smoke Mirrors and The Truth.

Cancelled flights, long delays, and angry passengers.  Its chaos for hundreds of thousands of passengers in different airports around the world. It's also Tuesday and our weekly check-in with correspondent Brian Stewart on Ukraine -- it's "grim" for both sides.  And Canada's top ten weather facts -- see how many you get right!

How seriously should we take the threat of "monkeypox".  Dr Isaac Bogoch is back to help us with that one.  Plus are we about to see the return of the supersonic passenger jet?  And, whatever happened to the phone booth?

National security experts say Canada should be re-examining its relationship with the United States -- will we? And Canada's airports are a mess -- why isn't the government doing anything about it?  Chantal and Bruce with their Good Talk thoughts.

The latest US mass shooting is awful but will anything change?  That's just one of the subjects on this week's Your Turn, your thoughts, ideas and comments about the issues of the day.

Bruce Anderson brings the SMT take to the Bridge's latest discussion about the media and journalism.  Britain has only recently started a right-wing brand of cable TV News, but it's not working so far.  Just like it didn't work in Canada. So why does it work in the US?
