In its 155 year post-Confedration history Canada was "ruled" for nearly half that period by by Queen Elizabeth "the constitutional sovereign who never interfered in our politics and stayed apart from 'some of the worst of our self-inflicted bickering and internal feuding.

An op ed written by our guest and published by the U.K. Spectator on September 12: How the Queen helped to fix Germany: She understood the importance of reconciliation. the op ed begins: "The Brandenburg Gate has often reflected the state of the German nation. Throughout the centures, Berlins iconic landmark has been a symbol of victory, defeat, unity, division and restoration. It has even reflected Germany's energy crisis, no longer lit to save electricity. But on Friday night it shone brightly once more: in red, white and blue as Germany mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II. This is much more than a gesture of condolence. 'Expressing our sympathy and our mourning by lighting the cymbol of our city and our country in the colours of the Union Jack to honour Queen Elizabeth II fully represents the sentiments of people in Berlin,' " said mayor Franziska Giffey. "It was the power of her great personality that has always fascinated us Berliners." Guest: Katja Hoyer, German/British historian and journalist. Visiting Research Fellow at King's College, London.

Today’s podcast: Pierre Poilievre romps to victory in Conservative leadership race earning 70% of the vote on the first ballot, launching a new era in Cdn politics. But what does this era look like? David Akin. Chief political correspondent - Global News. For any Conservative leader, there is a lot of fertile ground. Public dissatisfaction with the Liberals, the policy files that seem to be a mess of the moment. Pierre Poilievre represents a different approach from a conservative perspective, that the Liberals might want to pay attention to. Brian Lilley. Political columnist - Toronto Sun. 7 months ago, Putin apologiests bought into the hype of the Russian War Machine, touting the speculated "swiftness" of Russian victory in Ukraine. That thought didn't age well, especially as Ukrainian forces have begun a remarkable and brilliant counter-offensive. As of Thursday, Ukrainian President Vlodamir Zelensky announced that 1000 km2 of territory had been seized by Ukrainian troops, That number continues to rise. Adam Zivo. Independent journalist/columnist. Canadian supply of blood plasma is vital. As it stands now, Canadian Blood Services collects 15% of Canada's plasma supply, the rest from the US. And in the US, it's common place for plasma donors to be compensated. There are some ethical issues that arise from this of course, which is why we've seen outrage by the notion that we might move in that direction. Canadian Blood Services has signed a deal with a private, for-profit company to collect plasma from donors here in Canada, with the goal of increasing our domestic supply. Angela Diano.
