Rouleau Commission on Emergencies Act.

Guest: Christine van Geyn. Litigation director, Canadian Constitution Foundation. Cowrote above op ed.

Four deaths of police officers in Ontario in the past month. Three were shot and killed and one was the victim of a hit and run. How are police reacting to these deadly assaults on fellow officers?

Guest: Mark Baxter, president, Police Association of Ontario and board member of the Canadian Police Association. Police officer in Brantford, Ontario. (I am an honourary member of both the Police Association of Ontario and the Hamilton Police Association).

Retired Supreme Court of Canada Justice Thomas Cromwell tasked with reviewing Hockey Canada urged HC's next board of directors be engaged with only a one-year term, so to come to terms with the need to reform the organization. In a letter to then Hockey Canada CEO Scott Smith, Justice Cromwell on October 10 wrote, "there can be no serious debate that the level of confidence in Hockey Canada on the part of the government, sponsors, some members and the broader public has sunk to dangerously low levels." Former sponsors of Hockey Canada including Tim Hortons, Telus, Scotiabank are calling for a culture change. But it's not just Hockey Canada, as our guest has experienced.

Guest: Allison Forsyth. Fmr. Olympic skiier, sexually assaulted by her coach and urged to keep quiet by the coach and Alpine Canada in order for the organization to not lose sponsorships.

Calgary Police Service Sergeant Andrew Harnett was dragged to his death by a fleeing vehicle following a routine New Year's Eve traffic stop in 2020. The young offender driving the car is awaiting sentencing. - We speak with Sgt Harnett's brother.

Guest: Jason Harnett, of Ontario, brother of Calgary Police Sergeant Andrew Harnett.

A possible return to partial mask mandates? So says Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Kieran Moore. -  A much lower public interest in Covid booster vaccines so far heading into the flu season than what would be best. Only 16% of those 70 and over have accepted a fourth dose which Moore says is "unacceptable."

Do we have indicators of how severe the fall and winter flu season may be as far as Covid is concerned? And while the threat isn't present in North America, Ebola is reappearing in African nations. Should we be concerned?

Guest: Dr. Neil Rau. Infectious diseases specialist and assistant Professor of Medicine, University of Toronto.

Global News: Would Russian military follow order to use nukes? ‘Questionable,’ says ex-U.S. NATO envoy.

Likely because the Russian forces know the consequences if they do.
