Is Dr. Kristopher Wells the most controversial Senate appointee in Canadian history? That's what his critics say. In fact, the loudest ones are calling him "atrocious," "radical," and "dangerous". We go one-on-one with the educator, Pride Tape founder, and longtime LGBTQ2S+ activist two weeks ahead of his swearing-in. 3:40 | Premier Danielle Smith calls him a "left wing partisan,", suggesting his appointment causes the Senate to "lose credibility". Ezra Levant calls him an "atrocious" appointee who "targets children for transgenderism".

Bruce Arthur and Dave Feschuk take a final tour through Toronto's recent sports history. They touch on the bean-counting days of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Rogers to the more ambitious days of Bell and Rogers, with Larry Tanenbaum in between. They muse on the bad old days of the Leafs, Raptors and Jays to the current era of Brendan Shanahan, Masai Ujiri, and Mark Shapiro in Toronto sports. They consider the end of Alex Anthopoulos, the Raptors title (and the subsequent idea that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George could have come to Toronto), and the many failures, big and small, of the Toronto Maple Leafs. How could it have been different? How do you fix it now? Are the Jays doomed to corporate mediocrity, are the Raptors too far from their championship peak, and have the Leafs accumulated too much baggage to actually have a championship contending window? Arthur and Feschuk take you through the whole big ball of failure, and more.

Toronto Star columnist Bruce Arthur joined us to discuss his and Dave Feschuk's series on Toronto sports. Arthur talked about when the first sign of trouble was for the core four and the fascination around that group

Last week, journalist Bruce Arthur wrote a piece for the Toronto Star, quoting scientists who are afraid because of their work. People who publish research that is contrary to conservative points of view say they're being threatened and harassed -- online, and in public. They fear a potential Pierre Polievre government because they expect the pressure -- and the abuse -- to increase. Chris Turner is an author and journalist who wrote The War on Science, about the Stephen Harper years. He spoke with the CBC's Leigh Anne Power.

Jim Has some issues as he starts the show. The Rundown, Mark Mendelson and Jimmy Zoubris debate some of the big stories from across the country. And the Edmonton Oilers confident they can rebound against Panthers. We talk with Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star

SERIES 2 EPISODE 157: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: In the SportsCenter computer I read something that made my blood run cold. It was one line in a preliminary script for the 6:30 PM SportsCenter for Monday, June 14, 1994. O.J. Simpson's wife and a man with her had been murdered. The script noted “Simpson is NOT a suspect.” What made my blood run cold was not the news of the murders. It was that phrase. It might as well have been “of COURSE Simpson is not a suspect.” The problem was, I knew Simpson was a suspect because I had not a doubt in my mind that Simpson had butchered them because I knew what all of us who worked – or had worked – in L.A. media knew – that the O.J. Simpson known to the public, to TV audiences, movie audiences, sports audiences, was an utter fabrication. I knew he had hit his wife. I knew the authorities in Los Angeles had done nothing about it. I knew the sportscasters in Los Angeles – including me – had done nothing about it, though I wondered then and have known since that there was almost nothing WE could have done about it, legally. I called police source in L.A. and he was emphatic:: “whatever you do, DON'T say he's a suspect. We're terrified he's going to run. This guy has make-for-the-border written all over him. Or off himself maybe. But yeah, maybe…” and he had had to stop himself from laughing… “maybe you want to drop that part about NOT a suspect. Jesus. Not a suspect? HE'S OUR ONLY SUSPECT." I then had to explain it to executives - representative of the America of 1994 - who were still saying aloud "Poor O.J." There is no comparison to Simpson's fall in American history. And the system of the time was designed to protect him, the way the system of today protects similar scumbags. ALSO: The Johnson-Trump conference today was Johnson's idea and Trump is not in favor of getting rid of the Speaker. And RFK Jr gets rid of the New York staffer who admitted the campaign is about getting Trump, not Kennedy, elected. But it turns out he's got at least one more saying essentially the same thing. B-Block (26:30) IN SPORTS: It's amazing that Shohei Ohtani could have so relied on his interpreter Ippei Mizuhara that basically nobody else could talk to Ohtani, and Mizuhara could exploit that reality to secretly steal millions from him. But the FIGURES involved are twice as amazing: $16,000,000 embezzled? 19,000 bets on sporting events in three years? Gambling wins and losses totaling $325,000,000? Also America's hottest new team is the Indiana Fever, and no, there aren't more baseball pitchers being injured this year than the last ten years. C-Block (41:05) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: A first-time story, which reads as if it was ripped from today's headlines. In his profile of his boss, discoverer, and the founder of The New Yorker Harold Ross, Thurber told of Ross's assisting, who took advantage of his boss's inattentiveness to money to embezzle the equivalent of one and a half million from him and bet most of it on sporting events. There are so many similarities it sounds as if Ohtani's interpreter used the story as an instruction manual: "The Secret Life Of Harold Winney."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's no "quick fix" for the issues leading the headlines. Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia is on the rise, news outlets are dying on the vine, and politics are infiltrating your pension plan. Senator Paula Simons and Tasha Kheiriddin share potential solutions in this thought-provoking episode of Real Talk.  3:00 | Senator Paula Simons explains why the Liberals' Online News Act is such a disaster, why an Alberta Pension Plan might be an even bigger disaster, what she makes of rampant anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in Canada, and her annual Yegquest initiative.  READ PAULA'S PENSION COLUMN: https://albertaviews.ca/pension-folly/ PARTICIPATE IN YEGQUEST: https://www.instagram.com/hendayyegchick/ 45:00 | Real Talker Rob is riled up over Alberta's threat to pull out of the Canada Pension Plan.  EMAIL US: talk@ryanjespersen.com  48:30 | Real Talker Robb has a theory around the UCP's changes to Alberta Health Services. 51:35 | Ryan touches on the Red Deer Catholic School Board turfing controversial (former) trustee Monique LaGrange.  55:45 | We love hearing from our haters!

It's a horrific story: hockey player Adam Johnson dies after an opposing player's skate slashes his neck. Two weeks after the tragedy, British police arrest a man on suspicion of manslaughter. The hockey world (and society at large) is split: was a crime committed on the ice that night?  2:45 | Toronto Star columnist Bruce Arthur tells us why he doesn't think Matt Petgrave should face charges in Adam Johnson's death. Plus, we get into Bruce's column on how the internet (and social media) is making the Israel-Hamas war even worse.  READ BRUCE IN THE STAR: https://www.thestar.com/opinion/star-columnists/what-will-help-ease-the-latest-mideast-crisis-well-it-won-t-be-the-internet/article_39c7beba-7f29-5cb5-9df1-4b0fe313fb16.html 1:09:00 | Marmot Basin opens tomorrow!

Bruce Arthur is a Columnist for the Toronto Star and was named sportswriter of the year by Sports Media Canada in 2012. Charles and Bruce go into the NHL's decision to ban Pride tape and how the repercussions may affect hockey as a sport.

It's the end of the week and we haven't spent much time on the Toronto Raptors yet… so Bruce Arthur takes some time away from Raptors training camp to fix that for us.   We talk the progression of Scottie Barnes , Pascal Siakam's role with the team and more before setting expectations for their performance going into the NBA season.

Charles welcome Toronto Star columnist Bruce Arthur to talk about Mike Babcock's sudden departure from the Columbus Blue Jackets. Bruce recently wrote a column summarizing that the times are changing in the NHL and the shift is largely in favour of the players and how they are treated. It is clear that the hard-nosed style of NHL coaches is long done. The nail in the coffin for was Babcock's request for players' phone pictures is a violation of boundaries, especially for young players. In the past, the culture of hockey has historically protected successful coaches, even those with questionable behaviour, but recent events may indicate a shift in attitudes towards coaches and their treatment of players. Charles Adler and Bruce Arthur discuss how the way hockey players want to be coached has changed, with a focus on building relationships rather than yelling or playing mental games. Also covered in this episode: Nat Erskine-Smith for thoughtful policy analysis, how politics has become more relevant in Canada due to various crises, including a housing crisis, climate change, and a lack of planning for the future, and the need for more tradespeople in the US, particularly in construction, due to the aging workforce and labor shortages. Bruce leaves us with a warning: Canada faces a "wicked problem" of demographic decline and must coordinate federal, provincial, and municipal efforts to address it.

  Richard Deitsch filling in for Bob today as we bring on Bruce Arthur and Scott Stinson for a classic roundtable talk to end the week.   We spent the first part of the show going over last night's NBA Draft.    The foursome look at Grady Dick, who the Raptors chose at 13, and discuss the holes he fills for the team before shifting focus to their lack of "change" so far this off-season and wonder - Would it really be a good idea to run it back next season?   After the break we look at the NHL's decision to get rid of their Pride Jerseys and speculate about how this will impact the league.

Ray is fresh off of his ‘close-up' after Bruce Arthur's piece on Ray was featured in this week's Toronto Star*. The insightful piece peeled back the curtain on Ray's career, and his decision behind leaving TSN. Ray gets real on his mental health, choosing family, and embracing change. Plus, the guys discuss their World Hockey Championship's culinary post-game ritual: a bucket of fries, and wine.  Headlines kicks off with a ‘hand pass' controversy in the Toronto Maple Leafs/Arizona Coyotes game, and the Coyotes' long run of success… in Toronto. Ray and Dregs talk Sheldon Keefe calling out his star players just three games in, Bruce Boudreau and the Canucks slipping on points they (likely) can't afford to lose, and an abysmal 20 goals against over 3 losses to start the year for the Minnesota Wild. AND, NHL bright spots so far, a rejuvenated Evgeni Malkin, and a brash, young Montreal Canadiens team.  ‘Cha-ching' was all Kris Abbott heard as he cashed in on the Arizona Coyotes being underdogs vs. the Leafs. Ray gloated as his undefeated NFL-picks record remains intact. Meanwhile, Dregs and Kris are left to wonder how Ray is pulling this off!? Ask R+D sees a suggestion on a new podcast segment, a listener asks why Mackenzie Weegar wasn't as highly regarded until now, another asks about the Huberdeau/Tkachuk trade assessment so far, and Ray is asked about his mindfulness practice. *Check out Bruce Arthur's piece on Ray Ferraro in the Toronto Star: https://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/opinion/2022/10/17/why-ray-ferraro-stepped-away-from-tsn-and-his-hockey-obsession.html Season 4 Episode 7 is presented by our title sponsor Canadian Club Whisky: who are asking: 'Are You Over Beer?', Boston Pizza - pick it up or get it delivered right to your door, let Boston Pizza do the cooking tonight, and by DUER: Use code ‘RND15' to save 15% off pants at DUER.ca.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
