From London: Ben O'Hara Byrne reports on preparations for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth.

        Guest: Ben O'Hara Byrne. Host: A little more conversation. Corus radio nationally.

Pierre Poilievre a week into his leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada certainly continues to lay down the gauntlet to Justin Trudeau. We speak with one of Poilievre's earliest supporters within the Conservative Party about what Senator Denise Batters believes a Pierre Poilievre leadership will bring to the CPC and what Canadians might expect from the official opposition and its leader. (Most will recall Senator Batters very public challenge of Erin O'Toole when he was CPC leader which led to the expulsion from the CPC MP caucus by O'Toole, although the party's Senate caucus refused to expel Batters.)

             Guest: Senator Denise Batters (Saskatchewan)

When police officers are killed in the line of duty it is their immediate families which suffer most. We speak with Jason Harnett whose brother Andrew, a Calgary Police Service Sergeant was killed on New Year's Eve, 2020, after being dragged by a fleeing vehicle and falling into the path of an oncoming car following a routine traffic stop. The driver of the fleeing car was 17 at the time and faces a murder trial. A second occupant of the car who Sgt. Harnett was in the process of arresting on outstanding warrants pled guilty to manslaughter and will be out of prison before Sgt Harnett's then unborn son will reach his 4th birthday. Sunday, September 25, the first post-Covid delayed Canadian Police and Peace Officers Memorial service will take place in Ottawa. Sgt Harnett will be recognized.        

           Guest: Jason Harnett. Brother of Calgary Police Service Sergeant Andrew Harnett. 

When a police officer is murdered in cold blood the entire police community in Canada suffers and rallies. On Monday (Sept 12) Toronto Police Service Constable Andrew Hong was shot and killed execution-style by Sean Petrie who according to police had been waiting at a Mississauga, Ontario, Tim Hortons for more than 2 hours for a police officer to appear. Petrie had earlier hijacked a vehicle which also involved him shooting one person who suffered life-altering injuries. Petrie then drove to his former employer's place of business and shot and killed the 38 year old father of 2 young girls and shooting two other persons at the auto body shop with one victim not expected to survive. - Petrie was then shot and killed by police near Hamilton. 

             Guest: David Perry. Former Toronto Police homicide unit detective and 20-plus year member of the Toronto police. Now CEO of Investigative Solutions Network.

Today’s podcast:

Pierre Poilievre romps to victory in Conservative leadership race earning 70% of the vote on the first ballot, launching a new era in Cdn politics. But what does this era look like?

David Akin. Chief political correspondent - Global News.

For any Conservative leader, there is a lot of fertile ground. Public dissatisfaction with the Liberals, the policy files that seem to be a mess of the moment. Pierre Poilievre represents a different approach from a conservative perspective, that the Liberals might want to pay attention to.

Brian Lilley. Political columnist - Toronto Sun.

7 months ago, Putin apologiests bought into the hype of the Russian War Machine, touting the speculated "swiftness" of Russian victory in Ukraine. That thought didn't age well, especially as Ukrainian forces have begun a remarkable and brilliant counter-offensive. As of Thursday, Ukrainian President Vlodamir Zelensky announced that 1000 km2 of territory had been seized by Ukrainian troops, That number continues to rise.

Adam Zivo. Independent journalist/columnist.

Canadian supply of blood plasma is vital. As it stands now, Canadian Blood Services collects 15% of Canada's plasma supply, the rest from the US. And in the US, it's common place for plasma donors to be compensated. There are some ethical issues that arise from this of course, which is why we've seen outrage by the notion that we might move in that direction. Canadian Blood Services has signed a deal with a private, for-profit company to collect plasma from donors here in Canada, with the goal of increasing our domestic supply.

Angela Diano. Executive Director - Alpha-1 Canada.

The big story in this country and around the world over the past few days: the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The same year we marked her platinum Jubilee after 70 years on the thrown. A big loss, and she leaves large shoes to fill for her son; now King Charles III. What was it about the Queen that endeared her to so many people? Including those who weren't even her subjects? The stability of Queen Elizabeth's presence grounded Canada and the world.

Darrell Bricker. CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs

Conservative party membership has swelled to unprecedended levels. Suggesting - not just engagement in the leadership race – but enthusiasm about the party going forward. There’s an opportunity for conservatism that maybe hasn’t been there for a while. Maybe that’s because of Pierre Pollievre’s ascension in the race.
