The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

It's now Week Four of the Iran War and Trump delays one threat but things remain very tense. How bad could things get? Nuclear? WW3? We ask those questions of Dr Janice Stein from the Munk School at the University of Toronto as she makes her regular Monday Bridge appearance.

The Conservative leader went on the most popular podcast in the United States yesterday and kept the conversation going for more than two hours and twenty minutes. And if you believe Bruce and Chantal he did very well. Will it make a difference? Also on Good Talk, the Iran war and America's allies, just where do they, including Canada, stand? And more.

Two weeks ago Your Turn focused on your thoughts about the Canada/US Relationship and whether it will ever be the same again. There were so many letters from across the country we promised we would return to your thoughts. After a week on the Iran war, that return is this week. Plus the Random Ranter drops by with his latest rant on the American president.

The Bridge is available through SiriusXM satellite radio, through podcasts and through some episodes are available as well on YouTube. We started in the fall of 2019 and today marks a milestone -- twenty million downloads. We're proud of that number and toot our own horn a bit today because of it. That plus a few end bits as well.

There have been four floor crossers in four months. That's not a record, but it does have people talking. One poll shows about 75 percent of Canadians want floor crossers to seek re-election, sit as independents, or quit after abandoning the party they ran for during the election. James Moore and Gerald Butts have their thoughts on that and more during their latest "conversation."
