WITH GUEST HOST TAMARA CHERRY
8:30 – Canada is the only country without a plan in place to achieve its 2 per cent spending commitment to NATO. Canadians also have yet to hear the list of Members of Parliament names who are being accused of acting as agents of foreign power. Colleen Bell, associate professor of political science specializing in international relations, joins Tamara Cherry to discuss.
9:00 – Open lines – Tamara Cherry goes to the phones to chat with listeners about what’s on their minds today. Call 1-877-332-8255.
10:00 – Bill S-249, the intimate partner violence private member’s bill, is calling for the creation of Canada’s first legislated national strategy to prevent intimate partner violence. It’s before the Senate right now, and University of Manitoba social work professor, Kendra Nixon, is not supporting the bill and providing written testimony. She joins Tamara Cherry to share why this bill is not getting her support, as an expert in the field.
10:30 – Being a juror in a criminal trial is a tremendous responsibility. In certain trial situations, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects the right of Canadians to a trial before a jury of their peers. But how significant is the toll on jurors in high-profile and contentious cases, like the hush-money trial for Donald Trump? Tamara Cherry explores this question and how Canadian jurors are not allowed to speak about their experiences publicly afterwards with Toronto-based lawyer, Allen Rouben.
11:00 – Juries are tasked with making some important decisions. But is it better to rely on a jury of normal people instead of people with an understanding of the legal process? Some think juries should be done away with. Let Tamara know what you think at 1-877-332-8255.
12:00 – Scientists from the University of Alberta and the University of Bern in Switzerland are figuring out how to grow the mining industry while keeping carbon emissions low with the help of the Canadian Light Source at the University of Saskatchewan. Sasha Wilson, principal investigator at the University of Alberta’s Environmental Economic Geology Laboratory, tells Tamara about how they’re learning how to trap and store CO2 using a mineral found in certain mining wastes.
