Guest: Professor Sylvain Charlebois. Director of the Agri-Foods lab at Dalhousie University. Audio of PBO Giroux' statement to us about the CFS. Learn more about your ad choices.

"Young people are taught to hate Canada. Mandatory service could fix that." A National Post op ed by Tasha Kheiriddin who writes that instead of becoming a Canadian strength diversity has become the nation's achilles heel as youth live in silos instead of finding common ground on which to cooperate and grow Canadian valies. In the U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has committed that if he wins the national election held July 4, all 18-year-olds will be required to complete a year of national service, either military or civilian, causing them to interact with people outside their communities.

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?

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.

Yesterday we spoke with Alberta cabinet minister and life-long resident of Fort McMurray Brian Jean who became very emotional recalling the 2016 wildfire known as The Beast and the carnage the fire caused in Fort Mac and spoke about the evacuations ordered from the city earlier this week following the encroachment of a massive wildfire.

Director: Agri-foods laboratory, Dalhousie University. Federal mental health and 'addictions' minister Ya'ra Saks supports Ontario government of Doug Ford and Ottawa will not move to decriminalize possession of small amounts of illicit drugs like fentanyl, meth, etc. Guest: With a reflective view, Dr. Shawn Whatley. Past president of the Ontario Medical Association and author of: When Politics Comes Before Patients. Early in the week a wildfire approaching Fort McMurray, AB, with evacuations beginning raised the spectre of 2016 and The Beast. Then came the rains and cooler temps. The wildfire is not out, but no longer the threat of Monday/Tuesday. Guests: Brian Jean. Fort Mac resident and Alberta Minister of Energy and Minerals. Lost his home to The Beast in '16. And: Patty Rustige. Fort Mac resident. She and her Fort Mac firefighter husband also lost their home in the 2016 fire. Husband tasked with trying to save home in a different Fort McMurray neighbourhood to where he and Patty lived. Still rebuilding their home. Son also lost his home. B.C. Court turns unfaithful U.K. Man's "mistake" into a 'nightmare.' The story of E.S. and G.W. G.W. Is an unfaithful husband from the U.K. who engaged in a relationshp with E.S. whose court claim is G.W. is the father of her child and she has the right to pursue retroactive child support, something G.W. has refused to accept and doesn't want his marriage to be negatively affected by his behaviour. A B.C. Judge has granted E.S. a document which will allow her to pursue $100,000 in retroactive child support in a British court. Our guest says this is also a message for women who have not pursued child support and perhaps because the father has been threatening. We will also return to a term our guest introduced two week ago on the program and which most listeners had never heard before: "Marriage-like." This is how an unofficial relationship which goes on for some time, even with both parties living in separate homes can be deemed by a court to be "marriage-like" and requiring settlement of assets on breakup as the court would in a disolved marriage claim.

Today’s podcast: The passing of Rex Murphy. Guest: Catherine Swift. Multi-decade friend and president of Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada. Also member of our Beauties and the Beast panel. And: Callers, reflecting on what made Rex special. Selina Robinson was until recently a senior cabinet minister in the British Columbia provincial NDP government of David Eby. Then her comment on a B'nai Brith organized panel show that before Israel became a state its territory was just "a crappy piece of land with nothing on it," where several hundred thousand people lived, but it didn't produce anything and didn't have an economy. The backlash to MLA Robinson's statement caused her eventual and bitter resignation from cabinet and the NDP party as she claimed antisemitism exists among NDP caucus members. Now MLA Robinson accuses premier Eby of "gaslighting" the Jewish community with empty promises to do something about antisemitism (per Vaughn Palmer in Vancouver Sun). Guest: Selena Robinson. Independent MLA, British Columbia. Canada's system of MAID (Medical assistance in dying) is under increased international and national scrutiny and criticism. In 2021, more than 10,000 people chose to die with physician administered drugs.

Now there is growing fear people under economic strain are accessing MAID. In 2021, more than 10,000 people accessed MAID in Canada, while at the same time the numbers of doctors engaging in providing medical assistance in dying is dropping. Meanwhile a leading United States medical ethicist is calling for MAID to immediately be adopted in the State of New York. Guest: Dr. Arthur Caplan. Mitty Professor of Bioethics.

Selina Robinson was until recently a senior cabinet minister in the British Columbia provincial NDP government of David Eby. Then her comment on a B'nai Brith organized panel show that before Israel became a state its territory was just "a crappy piece of land with nothing on it," where several hundred thousand people lived, but it didn't produce anything and didn't have an economy. The backlash to MLA Robinson's statement caused her eventual and bitter resignation from cabinet and the NDP party as she claimed antisemitism exists among NDP caucus members. Now MLA Robinson accuses premier Eby of "gaslighting" the Jewish community with empty promises to do something about antisemitism (per Vaughn Palmer in Vancouver Sun). Guest: Selena Robinson.
