One week from today we will know who the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada is. Pierre Poilievre perceived frontrunner. How might a PP CPC resonate with Canadian voters, nationally, regionally, demographically? If not PP, then what's the national response to a Jean Charest perhaps?

Guest: Darrell Bricker. President/CEO Ipsos Public Affairs

ArriveCan. Federal government is standing by ArriveCan while travel industry and airline industry are challenging it. The president of the Customs and Immigration Union Mark Weber says CBSA is not truthful about the numbers of travelers it claims have completed ArriveCan before arriving at the Canadian border. CBSA officers have discretion on whether to permit un "Arrive-Can(ed)" travelers into Canada without consequence or severely fine them.

Guest: Mark Weber. National president Customs and Immigration Union

Over the past weeks we've heard of the heroic bravery displayed by CAF Private Jess Larochelle in Afghanistan in October 2014 and that a motion to award Private Larochelle Canada's highest military honour, the Canadian Victoria Cross was defeated by the Liberals in parliament. Last Sunday Maj Gen Omer Lavoie who commanded the Canadian forces in that battle in October 2014 joined us and detailed what Jess Larochelle did that day. 

Today we're joined by Bruce Moncur the former CAF corporal who arguably led the fight for the CVC for Private Larochelle. Cpl Moncur was a platoon-mate to Private Larochelle and on this date, September 4, 2006 Cpl Moncur, in Afghanistan for only 3 weeks was hit in th head by friendly fire from an American A10 fighter jet. Moncur's brain was exposed and he believed he was about to die. He was 22 years of age. After surviving multiple surgeries Veterans Affairs Canada would provide Bruce Moncur with a cheque for $22,000. He lost parts of his brain, was shot in the back.

Guest: Cpl Bruce Moncur (ret'd) His story and his determination to stand with and nationally share the stories of Canada's Afghan campaign veterans.
