The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

At a time when a lot of people are wondering about the changing nature of the media landscape, The Bridge raises some questions.  What and who do people trust to get their information? What is truth and who gives it? Author, former journalist and former political advisor Bill Fox is our guest. 

If there are two guys who can "bring it" in a non-partisan conversation about Canadian politics it’s these two. One Conservative, one Liberal.  Today's topic is Canada on the world stage - is there a common approach and should there be a common approach no matter who is in power? 

Chantal and Bruce debate just what kind of treatment the media is giving Conservative Leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre and compare it to the treatment Donald Trump got in 2016.  Fair or unfair?

Brian Stewart us back with his latest commentary on the Ukraine war. In this episode, the veteran foreign correspondent focuses on the sinking of the Russian Black Sea flagship, the “Moscow”.  To Brian, this story has been underreported. 

Back on The Bridge after ten days off and we get right to it with a major interview with Dr Isaac Bogoch. The Bridge is known for blunt talk and no one is better at it than Dr Bogoch. Covid is everywhere yet many of us seem disinterested. What now?

Today an encore presentation of The Bridge: Special with an episode that last aired on December 23rd.  The Kaleb Dahlgren Story.

An encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on Dec 7th. This is fun. The  documentary made from archival film by director Peter Jackson about the Beatles just months before their breakup is rich in content.  How rich?  George Stroumboulopoulos is our guest in this really fascinating interview about the "fab four".

An encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on April 8th. Chantal and Bruce on Chrystia Freeland's budget -- its had some not-so-good reviews, and, at the same time, some surprisingly good reviews from places you might not expect. So what should we make of that?

Today an encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on February 15th. This is a fabulous and important discussion to have with two normally political foes engaging in a thoughtful, for the most part non partisan discussion about current leadership patterns.  Former Conservative cabinet minister James Moore and former Trudeau Principal Secretary Gerry Butts.

An encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on March 28th. General Andrew Leslie knows what its like to be in battle.  The former Canadian Army General knows what its like to deal with the Russians too.  His thoughts on Ukraine, Putin, NATO and Canada are blunt and worth listening to.   Also our regular Monday COVID update ... it's not good.  Say hello to the new wave -- its already here.
