The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

The last week of the month means it's an "ask me anything" Thursday, and once again, lots of questions from across the country. Questions about journalism, about politics, about everything from Snowbirds to Donald Trump. Plus, the Random Ranter takes on Artificial Intelligence.

It's a Wednesday End Bits Special, and that means some news you can use. Especially as we all get ready for summer, this little nugget about mosquitoes is worth a listen. Also, do you really need to drink eight glasses of water every day? And a lot more.

To be clear, both James Moore and Gerald Butts are die-hard hockey fans - James for the Canucks, Gerry for the Habs. Like hockey fans across the country, they are following the Stanley Cup finals very closely - does that make Montreal, Canada's team?

Donald Trump is not a good liar. Everyone knows when he lies, and it's not a good look.

It's a Monday on The Bridge, and Dr. Janice Stein is here to give us her take on what is really happening.

As weeks go by, this couldn't have been worse for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith It's one thing to get in a fight with Ottawa, even a neighbouring Premier, but your own party? Your own cabinet? Or both? Over a referendum. That's just one of the topics up for discussion with Chantel Hebert and Bruce Anderson. Also on tap, Breaking News - Donald Trump still doesn't like Canada.
