The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

Alberta is at the centre of two major stories as the week ends -- Pierre Poilievre is in Calgary tonight waiting for his party's verdict on his leadership. Meanwhile Albertans who want out of Canada say they have the White House on their side and some of the things being said by Trump officials would seem to agree. Bruce and Chantal discuss both issues.

The third and final installment in our January series of "Ask Me Anything", your questions for me about, well, about anything! And questions you sure had. We thought this would be just one show, but it's been three. Plus the Ranter is here with his thoughts about Minnesota.

Look what we found for this week's Wednesday End Bits special --- a huge study, done over thirty years, and what it concludes is the best secret of longevity. It's pretty simple, but are you doing it? That and a couple of others on this low key hump day episode of The Bridge.

It's a big week for Conservatives. On Friday night in Calgary Pierre Poilievre gets the verdict from his party membership -- a leadership review vote will determine his future. Rob Russo and Althia Raj have their thoughts on that, but first their take on whether Mark Carney is backing off a bit from what he said in Davos last week. The White House says he has, the PMO, at record time, had said nothing.

As we said on Good Talk, everything changed last week Is the government, and are Canadians, ready for the situation we now find ourselves in with the United States. The prime minister says the old relationship is definitely over, while the president is back to misrepresenting the PM's title and making more tariff threats. What happens now is the question for Janice Stein in her regular Monday appearance on The Bridge.
