While the Federal leaders have spent recent weeks preparing for the likelihood of an election in the coming months, Canada has made international headlines as the history of its residential schools came into focus.

All of these issues and more should come up when the election bell is finally rung. Are Trudeau, O'Toole Singh and company ready?

Guest: Michael Taube, Troy Media Syndicated Columnist, Washington Times contributor, Former Speech Writer for Stephen Harper

The Canadiens are headed to the Stanley Cup! It has been a tense few days, filled with mixed emotions for Canadian hockey fans, but it is hard to not get caught up in the excitement.

Guest: Rick Zamperin, Senior Sports Director, News Director and Assistant Program Director of Global News Radio 900 CHML, Host of the 5th Quarter
