Today an encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on November 8th 2023. A very strange couple of days for Joe Biden.  Weekend polling was disastrous for the Democrats, but last night's voting results were anything but.

Your Turn -- What I Know Now I Wish I'd Known In My Youth

Today an encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on June 3rd. With the 80th anniversary of perhaps the greatest military gamble in history upon us this week, we look at D-Day.  Canada played a significant role that day, one in which we can be extremely proud.  Today we invite the well-known and much respected British historian James Holland onto The Bridge to guide us through the highlights of a day that changed the Second World War.

One of my favourite journalists, Nahlah Ayed, brings to light a little-known Canadian story that centres around preparations for D-Day. It really is at its heart a love story, but it's also a spy story with all the twists and turns that both elements can deliver. Another D-Day special as this week marks 80 years since that historic day.
