Police in Canada are using licence plate scanners to identify drivers in arrears on fines.

U.S. police are now actively using AI to identify likely criminals by the way a vehicle is being driven and they have arrested individuals fleeing from serious criminal charges. 

If this initiative were adopted in Canada would it be a clear violation of Charter protected privacy rights?

Guest: Daniel Konikoff. Director of the Privacy, Technology and Surveillance Program at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. 

Trudeau tears up his cabinet while more Liberal MPs are opting out of politics and the federal Liberals are slipping precipitously in national voter support. What do two former Liberal MPs believe is going on inside the party?

Guests: Michelle Simson & Dan McTeague 

Follow up to last Sunday's RGS when Scott Moe joined us and challenged, more directly than previously, the Trudeau government as increasing the East/West divide, based on an op ed by Yukon University professor Ken Coates and did not resist when I asked the premier if his fellow premiers across Canada have had it with the PM.

Guest: Professor Ken Coates. We spoke with KC for 10 minutes last Sunday, but there's much more to be unpacked. Does Professor Coates see any parallels between the development of the politically successful Quebec sovereignty movement and what is developing in Western Canada. I related how I was present in Quebec when Rene Levesque gave personality to the Quebec sovereignty issue and was there for the election of the first PQ MNA's. I asked Ken Coates if he sees parallels in the West. His response: "They are fighting mad. Imagine this scenario. The Liberals appoint a Minister of Industry with a mandate to reduce emissions produced by manufacturing and processing. The focus would be on manufacturing and processing plants in Ontario and Quebec. Can you imagine such a thing?"

What the heck is going on in Hollywood? Actors, producers, writers strike. Top grossing films of 2023 are Super Mario Brothers and Barbie. Oppenheimer is gathering momentum and the 'Barbenheimer' phenomenon is underway as moviegoers see the Barbie movie and Oppenheimer often on the same day. Murray Pomerance has strong views about what is going on with 'publicity instead of film' and films themselves, particularly Oppenheimer which Murray describes as "drab and hopeless and awful." He likes the Barbie movie though.

Guest: Murray Pomerance. Independent scholar and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Media and Communications at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. One of the most respected scholars and authors of film. His most recent book, just out in paperback, is Color it True: Impressions of Cinema.
