10:00 – Newly-minted Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has threatened to hold a referendum on abolishing the federal equalization program unless Bill C-69 is scrapped and progress is made on a coastal pipeline. While some have dismissed the threat as empty political grandstanding, Richard Albert, a Canadian professor of law at the University of Texas, says the idea is a good one that would strengthen Confederation and remind Ottawa that they are not the sole arbiters of constitutional reform. Albert join John now to discuss the potential implications of Kenney’s threatened referendum.

11:30 – Is masculinity “toxic”? We’ve heard a lot of criticism of traditional masculinity recently, and it’s been blamed for everything from suicide to terrorism to climate change. But is masculinity really at the root of all violence and sexism? Is it doing more harm than good to ask men to repress their masculinity? Are the differences between the genders socially constructed or natural? Christina Hoff Sommers, an author and philosopher well-known for her video series “The Factual Feminist” and book “The War on Boys,” says it’s very normal for men to act manly. She joins John now to discuss toxic masculinity and how men can still be masculine without hurting anyone else.
LIVE: Dr. Christina Hoff Sommers, host of “The Factual Feminist” and the “Femsplainers” podcast, and resident scholar at American Enterprise Institute.
