Today’s podcast:

Bank of Canada drops interest rate to 3.75 percent. Correct decision at the correct time? - Positive outcomes and perhaps not-so-positive outcomes? -

Chrystia Freeland and Justin Trudeau insist that their economic policies are responsible for making life better for Canadians. Like the 3 out of 10 Canadians cutting back on their food purchases and eating less because the financial pressures they are under require this? 8.7 million Canadians, including 2.1 million children living in food insecurity. - 

Also, how might Canadians most likely be affected by a Donald Trump or Kamala Harris presidency?

And: antisemitic acts being reported at Canadian universities such as the University of British Columbia where a visiting Israeli professor was greeted with antisemitic vandalism at the location where he was to conduct a three-day workshop

Guest: Professor Eric Kam. Macroeconomics, Toronto Metropolitan University


Wednesday's unhappy Liberal Party caucus meeting in Ottawa during which PM Justin Trudeau faced calls from an uncertain number of Liberal MPs to resign and they gave him until this coming Monday to do so. Trudeau leaving the caucus meeting told reporters he is and intends to remain in charge of the party heading into any coming federal election, which given the mood and likely strategy of the Bloc Quebecois may happen sooner than later. We speak again with two former Liberal MPs who are watching this drama carefully.

 Guests: 

  • Michelle Simson, former Trudeau seatmate during Question Period.
  • Dan McTeague, 18 years a Liberal MP who fulfilled senior roles during the administration of PM Paul Martin.

  • Random assaults on strangers at any time of day or night can and do leave victims facing critical health consequences and in some cases the victims die. Former CBC producer Michael Finlay died following a random stranger attack. - Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington today: "Woman faces long recovery after alleged attack by 'The Puncher.'

    Guest: Joe Warmington, Columnist at the Toronto Sun


    Israel launches air strikes on Iran in three waves with up to 100 military aircraft participating during operation "Days of Repentance."

    With its proxies Hamas and Hezbollah badly wounded by Israel already is the Iranian regime now unable to back up its strident words against Israel and facing its own existential survival threat?

    Guest: Vivian Becovici. Former Canadian Ambassador to Israel. From southern Israel.
