Today's podcast: European military commanders warning of imminent war with Russia (within the next 2 years).  With that backdrop the NATO conference took place this week in Washington where President Joe Biden's mental acuity continued to be questioned and Canada increasingly came under pressure from senior U.S. government, as well as other NATO officials demanding this country invest at least 2% of GDP into military spending immediately. What do we make of Trudeau's assurance Canada will reach that objective by 2032, but with no details provided? Also on the table continuing NATO spending and providing armament to Ukraine in its ongoing war with Putin's Russia. - Is the West on the cusp of full out war with Russia and perhaps China?

A sudden pause in the war of words and legal action between the federal and Saskatchewan governments. A hearing scheduled at the Federal Court yesterday was cancelled as the Saskatchewan and federal governments are in reportedly in talks.  On Monday the Saskatchewan Attorney General stated the province had sought and been granted an emergency injunction to stop the Canada Revenue Agency from any collection/garnishment action by CRA against the province's bank account under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act. According to CRA, Saskatchewan owes Ottawa more than $50 million under the Act, while the province argues the Trudeau government's demands are unconstitutional.  This after the federal government earlier this year removed the tax on home heating oil for Atlantic Canada for 3 years, but refused to extend the tax pause to other provinces and other means of home heating. Saskatchewan has neither collected, nor remitted to Ottawa any taxes on home heating fuels since January 1, 2024, as Premier Scott Moe last December promised us first on air Saskatchewan would not do so.   Guest: Bronwyn Eyre, Saskatchewan Attorney General.

Warren is a Western Canada listener and American immigrant to Canada who sent our program an email in which he argues if Donald Trump wins the November 5, U.S. general election and is returned to the White House as president, it is possible that Justin Trudeau may be returned as PM, perhaps with a majority government. Warren suggests Trudeau would make next year's federal election about running against Donald Trump and not Pierre Poilievre, who Trudeau will say "is a MAGA stooge who gets all his orders from Trump in the White House."    Warren fears "anti-Americanism plays well in Canada, especially in the East. So if Donnie Two-Scoops is back, Justin will be too. Canadians are that stupid."  We read Warren's email on air and there was non-stop response/reaction. Warren listened and sent a follow-up email about what he heard. Guest: Warren in Western Canada. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 294: On the evening of December 21, 1883, near Bloomfield, Ontario, visitor Peter Lazier was murdered by two intruders at the farmhouse of Quakers Gilbert and Margaret Jones. The community, deeply affected, quickly organized a search. They traced footprints in the snow, leading to Joseph Thomset and the Lowder family's homes near West Lake. By the next day, Joseph Thomset and brothers David and George Lowder were arrested and charged with murder. The legal process moved rapidly. The coroner's inquest began the next day, followed by formal proceedings within a week. The trial, held at the Prince Edward County Courthouse in Picton just five months later, suggested the motive was robbery, aimed at stealing the $555 Gilbert Jones earned from selling hops. George Lowder and Joseph Thomset were found guilty of murder and hanged in June of 1884. Many felt justice was served, but others believed the law got it wrong, acting hastily without sufficient evidence. Sources: Prince Edward County The Canadian Encyclopedia | Quakers The Lazier Murder: Prince Edward County, 1884 — Robert J. Sharpe The Kingston Whig-Standard 24 Dec 1883, page 2 Ottawa Daily Citizen 24 Dec 1883, page 1 Manitoba Weekly Free Press 15 May 1884, page 2 The Lazier murder trial of 1884 – did they get the right men?

The other remained with his family somewhere near Kabul desperately praying they would receive the call from the Canadian government in response to his pleas to Ottawa for evacuation.   Guests: "Left behind Alex" who had served with Major Mark Campbell in Afghanistan.

A news story which dominated national headlines just weeks ago. The urgency has not ended, nor even diminished, even though it's not a daily topic of discussion now, except among Canadians directly engaged. The issue of drug addiction, the "safer supply (of drugs)" and the sale of 'safer supply' drugs by addicts who received them free to Canadian teens is a national concern, centred in British Columbia. Some of these teens have died of drug overdoses. Now the director of the Vancouver Infectious Diseases Centre, Dr. Brian Conway is drawing attention to the fact of empty beds in detox centres in Vancouver.  Guest: Dr. Brian Conway   Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's podcast: Have the federal Liberals and their NDP partners, by introducing and passing the Orwellian legislation Bill C-59, which will silence the energy industry on the truth about emissions control initiatives and cost Canada $-billions. The industry will have to prove to the satisfaction of federal environment minister Steven Guilbeault, any facts on emission reductions. Fedgov states it wants to eliminate so-called "greenwashing" of emissions reporting. Now the Pathway Alliance, a consortium of Canada's six largest oil sands companies which have committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands production by 2050, has basically closed down its website out of concern of the anti-greenwashing component of C-59. Failure to satisfy the fedgov's definition of the truth would result in fines of up to $15-million. and: The election of former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi as Alberta NDP leader. Guest: Alberta Minister for the Environment Rebecca Schulz. Japan is experiencing an alarming spread of flesh-eating disease. In the first 6 months of 2024, already more cases than in 2023. 30% approx of cases a fatal. Many others require amputations. -Does this fit into the "armaggedon" scenario predicted by former Chief Medical Officer of Enland, Dame Sally Edwards who has insisted so-called "superbugs," bacteria increasingly resistant to antibiotics will be causing millions of deaths globally and for cases until now easily controlled by antibiotics. Dame Sally's goddaughter died of an untreatable lung infection two years ago at age 38. Guest: Jason Tetro. Microbiologist (The Germ Guy). Podcast: Super Awesome Science Show. Books: The Germ Guy and The Germ Code. Justin Trudeau's security advisor is playing down the federal government concealing documents relating directly to foreign interference in Canada from the head of the inquiry Justice Marie-Josee Hogue which Justice Hogue has requested. Position of the Trudeau government is it has chosen to provide the cabinet confidences it considers "most relevant" to the inquiry. This after Trudeau refused to answer reporters (including Global News) question about whether any Liberal MPs were named in the NSICOP report as witting or semi-witting partners of foreign governments. As well, the RCMP Commissioner on CBC said he hopes MPs don't name any politicians accused of aiding foreign powers. Many if not most Canadians want to know exactly that information. Guests:  Kevin Vuong. Independent MP for Spadina-Fort York. Dan McTeague. Former Liberal MP (18 years) and parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Is family law in Canada stacked against fathers? Is the law and are the courts biased against men in judgments concerning divorce, custody, access and support? Guest: Scott Taylor.

A Toronto Sun story by Joe Warmington has shown a cube van in Toronto carrying carrying video advertising depicting people carrying Palestinian flags, praying and protesting, with the banner headline on the van reading Is this Yemen? Is this Syria? Is this Iraq? No. This is Canada. Wake up Canada. You are under siege.  There have been accusations this is hate speech and Toronto's chief of police Myron Demkiw promised an investigation and TPS has posted online this is Islamophobic expression and provided contact information for anyone who has information.  Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow also denounced the van and its messaging. Others are saying what is being displayed in Toronto is nothing more than freedom of expression, guaranteed all Canadians, unless and except it is defined as hate speech, per the Supreme Court. Meanwhile another truck has been seen in Toronto displaying the words "Zionism is terrorism."  Is that hate speech, or freedom of expression? Guests: Joe Warmington.

A heatwave in central/eastern Canada this week. A listener emailed following constant provincial and municipal warnings on how to deal with the heatwave "oh thanks. Whatever would I do without the great overseer." Too harsh? Also repeat stories about hot classrooms needing AC, etc.  @s_guilbeault on X assuring "we're all in it together" as far as surviving heatwaves is concerned. - Sorry if this rains on the parade, but heatwaves in the 90's Fahrenheit in June are not new. In the 1960's in an almost brand new high school in Montreal, none of our classrooms had AC, boys dress code required sports jacket, dress pants, shirt and tie and dress shoes when the mercury reached 90+F.   Guest: Greg Brady. Host: Toronto Today on AM 640. Greg's X post challenging the barrage of how to deal with hot weather warnings from muni/prov officials generated great response. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last Sunday a quick response call-in had callers agreeing with the national service initiative by U.K. PM Sunak, but saying it would be political suicide. Should the Conservative Party of Canada commit to national service of 1 year for each Canadian youth on reaching18th birthday, serving either in the CAF or with a national civilian organization. - Many countries internationally demand this, including neutral Switzerland.

A gratuitous attack on immigrants by Ford, or an elected politician speaking his mind and perhaps echoing what many have been thinking? What do Canadians want from their elected officials? Doug Ford bluntness or statements such as the one made by prime minister Justin Trudeau who following the arson attack on the Shara Tzedeck synagogue in Vancouver offered only "a synagogue was attacked last night in Vancouver in another disgusting act of antisemitism. We cannot let this hate or these acts of violence stand. This is not the Canada we want to be."   What do Canadians want from their politicians as response to Jew-hatred and acts of terrorism such as shooting at Jewish schools and arson at synagogues?

Today's podcast: We asked Israel's Ambassador to Canada if he may wish to address the apparent diminution of the decades-long allyship and friendship between Canada and Israel. From statements made by prime minister Trudeau and foreign affairs minister Melanie Jolie, to Canada abstaining from voting on full UN membership for a State of Palestine, to Toronto mayor Olivia Chow refusing to be present for the raising of the Israeli flag on Israel's Independence Day earlier in the week. Chow's office suggested the Mayor believed the raising of the Israeli flag at this time would be too divisive.   Israel's Ambassador has agreed to speak to the current relationship between his country and Canada. Guest: Iddo Moed. Israel Ambassador to Canada. 10 year old Sammy Teusch of Indiana committed suicide May 5 following relentless bullying at school. His parents had pleaded for help from the school administration but remain dissatisfied with the school leaders response/actions. Is the suicide of a 10 year old boy not sufficient for the issue of bullying to spur real and meaningful action on this scourge which takes place at schools (and online)? Then, Memories and impact through life of being bullied as a child. - Are you an adult experiencing bullying now? - Are you the parent of a child being bullied and is it sufficiently worrying you have concerns about how your child may react? We hear stories from our listeners. Guest: Mark Henick. Mental health strategist. Attempted suicide at 15 and his Ted Talk description of that event during which Mark's life was saved by a complete stranger has been viewed millions of times online. CEO Strategic Mental Health Consulting (Toronto). Author: So-Called Normal: A memoir of family depression and resilience. Also podcast by the same name. Sweden's defence minister and military commander-in-chief have warned of possible war involving Sweden (and Russia). Sweden's prime minister has publicly mused about nuclear weapons being placed on Swedish soil during any war. - Norway's military chief has warned of war with Russia within two years. And where does Canada fit into this possible scenario? Both Russia and China have designs on Canada's mineral and resource-rich Arctic. How long could Canada's military defend this nation were we to confront military ambitions by either Russia and/or China?   Guest: Vice-Admiral Mark Norman. Former Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy and Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff. Yesterday I posted to X that Justin Trudeau's standard complaints about Pierre Poilievre are treated as news stories by media when in my view they aren't. The response has been and continues to be extremely strong and with differing perspectives. We are now well over 900 likes, 235 retweets and 176 comments. Guests: Roy solo.

Statue dedicated to Private Alexander Watson removed from St. Catharines city hall after 138 years and moved to a local cemetery. Reason, Watson, from St. Catharines, fought with the 90th Winnipeg Battalion Rifles in the Northwest Resistance, or Rebellion. He died in 1885 from wounds suffered in battle and the people of St. Catharines erected the statue of him in 1886. - Canadian history being cleansed?  As well, our guest Joe Warmington of the SUN papers wrote about this story and yesterday with his young son visited the home of Canada's first prime minister Sir John A MacDonald in Kingston, Ontario. Joe is troubled by how MacDonald is portrayed there. Does Canada's history deserve to be treated this way, or can we learn from the past and forge a better path forward?  Guest: Joe Warmington.
