In 2008, Allan Schoenborn killed his three children, a crime for which he was judged to be NCR or Not Criminally Responsible because of mental health issues. Since then Schoenborn has been held at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam, B.C. The hearing was attempted in April of this year but proceedings devolved into chaos. The hearing will resume this coming week and what should we expect?

AND:

Not Criminally Responsible. A get out of jail free card for some of the most violent and dangerous criminals? Or truly a ruling which assesses a killer's ability to discern right from wrong?

Scott Newark. Former Alberta crown attorney, former senior advisor to a federal minister for public safety, executive director of the Canadian Police Association and executive director for the Ontario Office for Victims of Crime.

A Toronto Sun story by Joe Warmington has shown a cube van in Toronto carrying carrying video advertising depicting people carrying Palestinian flags, praying and protesting, with the banner headline on the van reading Is this Yemen? Is this Syria? Is this Iraq? No. This is Canada. Wake up Canada. You are under siege. 

There have been accusations this is hate speech and Toronto's chief of police Myron Demkiw promised an investigation and TPS has posted online this is Islamophobic expression and provided contact information for anyone who has information. 

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow also denounced the van and its messaging.

Others are saying what is being displayed in Toronto is nothing more than freedom of expression, guaranteed all Canadians, unless and except it is defined as hate speech, per the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile another truck has been seen in Toronto displaying the words "Zionism is terrorism." 

Is that hate speech, or freedom of expression?

Guests: Joe Warmington. Toronto Sun. 

Vivian Bercovici, former Canadian Ambassador to Israel from Tel Aviv. She grew up in Toronto and VB's posts on X/Twitter have resulted in polarized responses.

A heatwave in central/eastern Canada this week.

A listener emailed following constant provincial and municipal warnings on how to deal with the heatwave "oh thanks. Whatever would I do without the great overseer." Too harsh?

Also repeat stories about hot classrooms needing AC, etc. 

@s_guilbeault on X assuring "we're all in it together" as far as surviving heatwaves is concerned. -

Sorry if this rains on the parade, but heatwaves in the 90's Fahrenheit in June are not new. In the 1960's in an almost brand new high school in Montreal, none of our classrooms had AC, boys dress code required sports jacket, dress pants, shirt and tie and dress shoes when the mercury reached 90+F.  

Guest: Greg Brady. Host: Toronto Today on AM 640. Greg's X post challenging the barrage of how to deal with hot weather warnings from muni/prov officials generated great response.

Today's podcast:

Four Israeli hostages abducted by Hamas last October 7 in the terror attack on Israel were freed by IDF in a daytime assault on a refugee camp in central Gaza.

According to Hamas-run Gaza health ministry at least 274 Palestinians were killed in the military raid with the EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell calling it a "massacre." -

Also on Israel's northern border, according to our guest full-scale war may now be inevitable between the Israeli military and terror organization and Tehran-backed Hezbollah, based in Lebanon. Hezbollah is far stronger than Hamas and fought the Israeli military to standstill in 2006.

Guest: Vivian Bercovici. Former Canadian Ambassador to Israel. Joining us from Israel's northern border with Lebanon.

Conservative Party U.K. PM Rishi Sunak is firm that if he's elected to serve as prime minister following the July 4 British election that national service (in U.K. Military or civilian organizations) will be mandatory for all on reaching their18th birthday. Would this work in Canada and, as we asked last Sunday, should Pierre Poilievre introduce as part of his election campaign? Today the word from Britain. 

Also: Sunak's commitment to deport refugee claimants who crossed the English Channel by boat through already chartered flights to Uganda was formally passed by the British government.       

Guest: Katja Heuer. Anglo/German historian, professor, author: Beyond the Wall, 1949-1990.

Gaming! A multi-billion-dollar industry which gamers engage in sometimes losing sleep and sacrificing relationships (or so it has been reported). 

So what's involved, how much does it all cost and what is the real attraction of being a "gamer?" How much does it cost to acquire good gaming consoles (equipment) and the games themselves cost how much? And more.....

Purchase an absolutely top-of-the-line F1 home racing simulator setup and it will set you back $-thousands (many $-thousands).

3-times successively F1 world champion Max Verstappen practices for upcoming races on his personal gaming racing simulator.
