Podcasts about disraeli

There was a lot more going on than could be published in our Winnipeg Sun exclusive about an impromptu meeting between Premier Wab Kinew and residents potentially impacted by his proposed Safe Consumption Site. Episode 26 brings you, 'The Rest of the Story'.Part 1- The Season Six Funding drive has reached $1660, a good pace to climb towards the $10,000 target. Our recent columns and podcasts about the Parking Authority ending cash parking payments, Winnipeg Transit reorganizing bus stops, and antisemitism within the LGBTQ+ communities opened eyes to the unaccountable behavior of the ruling and connected classes, proving our value in the media landscape.Today in the Sun- the review of drastic shortcomings in providing proper information to the public about Transit Route and concurrent four plex zoning changes provides evidence that when City Hall says they want public engagement, the talk doesn't match the walk. This old-fashioned reporting is made possible because taxpayers and residents know we are in their corner and they help make sure the ongoing costs and expenses are paid for.

But they didn't see it happen, because in a crass political gambit, Wab Kinew gave them an ultimatum for a one-time-only meeting.In this segment, you'll hear more details about their disgust with the behavior of the NDP during Question Period, and confusion about why Kinew's first priority in the meeting was to shield the Main Street Project from withering criticism after they were caught setting up a riverbank encampment in North Point Douglas contrary to Kinew's avowed policy.Hear more about MSP's ongoing loss of trust in the community, and how Kinew and his Homelessness Minister Bernadette Smith tried to gaslight the residents that they don't represent the community and there is a groundswell of support for the drug site, that the Winnipeg police support the site going on Disraeli across from Argyle High School, and the NDP's insistence that 'the experts' know best."Basically he insinuated we're an uncompassionate bunch.”The key issue is that the residents are demanding to speak directly to the unnamed "experts", to get their plan for how the site will manage the influx of erratic drug addicts after the doors of the site close at 7 pm daily, and how they will create sufficient detox programs and treatment beds to handle the existing backlog. As the residents see it, the NDP plan will perpetuate and increase drug addiction under the guise of solving the problem. They live with the needles, human waste, violence, vandalism and robberies that the addicts inflict on their neighborhood- not Kinew, Smith or NDP House Leader Nahanni Fontaine. When Kinew bragged he consulted with BC's Premier Dave Eby about that province's failed drug site operations, he lost all credibility with the well-researched and educated parents, homeowners and stakeholders who populate the areas East of Main Street. Now, they're finding that no one will buy their houses, because of the uncertainty Kinew's plan is causing potential buyers.We have added comments from an area mother and housewife who wants to speak to Kinew's experts herself, because in her view, adding a Safe Consumption Site is "a band-aid fix" that won't alleviate the "open drug deals and strung out people" her kids are seeing and avoiding every day.46.10 - A wrap-up of the episode, and a look towards what's coming up in June.Please take a moment to support our efforts with a donation towards the Season Six costs!

Imperien? Diese Zeit ist doch lange vorbei. So haben vermutlich viele gedacht. Spätestens nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion und dem Ende des Kalten Krieges schien das Zeitalter der Imperien und des Imperialismus endgültig Geschichte. Aber Staaten wie die USA oder China verfolgen schon seit Jahrzehnten eine imperialistische Handelspolitik. Sie bauen ihre Macht und ihren Einfluss in vielen Weltregionen aus. Staaten wie Russland machen auch nicht davor halt, ihr Territorium gewaltsam zu erweitern. Das wurde spätestens mit dem Angriffskrieg Russlands auf die Ukraine Anfang 2022 klar. Aber was bedeutet dieser Neo-Imperialismus für unsere Welt? Welchen historischen Vorbildern folgen Putin, Trump und Xi? Wann entwickelte sich das erste Imperium der Geschichte? Und warum sind das Persische Reich, das Imperium Romanum und das Mongolenreich am Ende doch untergegangen?

A resident-led Town Hall questioned police on their safety plan if a drug consumption site is placed across from a Point Douglas high school. Episode 18 has exclusive details on what went on Tuesday night behind the scenes and at the microphone that you don't want to miss.Part 1- Marty Gold recaps his most recent reports in the Winnipeg Sun:Wednesday: Nurses in constant danger in hospitals province-wide-- Tick tock, the clock's run out on AsagwaraThursday: Residents believe crime will escalate if drug site opened-- Point Douglas pushback: Community rejects proposed drug site location10.15 Part 2- Over 40 political and police officials and staff paid by the taxpayer turned up at the Ashdown Market on Tuesday, as the residents east of Main St. called Bernadette Smith's bluff. It was an extraordinary development that has thrown the NDP government completely off-balance.In January, the Addictions Minister squelched questions from area stakeholders about how neighborhood safety would be protected as she relentlessly praised the consumption site proposed for their neighborhood. You'll hear how at the end of that meeting, Marty raised his voice to ask when or even if another public consultation would be held- and was ignored by Smith and staff of the Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre who will operate the safe injection site. That was a big tell. * Support our Season Six reporting with a PayPal or E-Transfer donation - ⁠Donate Page⁠ *After no further meetings were conducted by the NDP, the people who have to live with the social disorder and violence caused by drug users scheduled their own session, and limited Smith and other speakers to 5 minutes. With Smith unable to censor participants, she waited until the morning of the event to agree to appear. No wonder. She faced a barrage of criticism, much of it focused on the NDP's inability to get existing drug users into treatment promptly. And when she deferred to police on safety issues, new chief Gene Bowers failed to deliver a single idea of exactly how he will stop an influx of drug addicts - estimated by site supporters as coming to 200 Disraeli from a 30 block radius - from committing even more crime or endangering students and staff at Argyle High School. A mother told Smith, “I have a daughter who attends there. It's not good for the kids already day to day. It's survival… they already have shots against them, and you want to inflict the trauma of a safe consumption site into a community that's already traumatized. What are you doing ??”21.30- A review of some media reports about the town hall helps illustrate the misinformation spread by MSM reporters as well as revealing details they didn't grasp the significance of . Hear what MSM did not report:- a city councillor walked out of the meeting- a split in the indigenous community about enabling drug use is fueling an 'old school' vs 'new school' dispute - reporting "city police wanted to send a message to residents they're working on a plan" exposed how they made no progress in 2 months - Smith's language pivoting to a "made-in-Manitoba" operating plan is deceptive34.00- Which extreme-left activist organization tried to promote 'safe supply' so the government would give illegal drugs to addicts to use at the site? We tell you. Health Minister Ozuma Asagwara and the board of the AHWC can no longer avoid facing the property owners, residents and parents to define their liability if and when a safe consumption site opens. 42.50 Part 3 - In the last episode, TGCTS discovered how lax federal voting rules were when it came to requiring actual proof a person was a citizen of Canada. Listen to the response provided by Elections Canada and how laughable their so-called "preventativemesures" are. The bottom line- it's easy for a foreign national to get a ballot in this federal election.******Easter Sunday in the Winnipeg Sun- a special remembrance of a North Kildonan teacher who was an immigrant success story

After our reports in the Winnipeg Sun about the haphazard public consultation process for the proposed drug consumption site, Episode 5 focuses on a comparison raised by another Sun columnist. Part 1- Our stories have detailed the limited outreach for the consultations by the NDP government and Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre, and what the proponents have heard from Point Douglas and East Exchange district stakeholders concerned with the potential of even more crime and disorder descending on their neighborhood. The failed narrative of site supporters and the media is that anyone with questions are an enemy of addiction treatment. With the area MLA Bernadette Smith being assigned by Wab Kinew to help fulfill his election promise, residents feel she is in a conflict of interest. Where are city councillors or Mayor Scott Gillingham in this process to represent the community? Absent. Yet the spike of vandalism and break-ins and violence they've suffered was directly connected to former Mayor Brian 'don't arrest the criminals' Bowman, as homeless addicts and illegal riverbank encampments terrorized their neighborhoods 13.10- John Wintrup wrote: "There is a more rigorous and fulsome process outlined by the federal government for siting new cell towers compared to siting new safe consumption sites." Not a lot of people in Winnipeg know anything about the federal telecom tower approval process. It just so happens, Marty Gold is one of them. 17.35 Part 2- A major reason behind concerns about a fair and proper consultation not being conducted is the fact Argyle High School is right across the street. As Wintrup described it: "The public is now considering the compatibility of safe consumption sites within 60 metres of schools — the length of an NHL ice sheet – well within an easy walking distance... Either someone at the provincial government thinks safe consumption sites 200 feet from schools are great, or did not think this through at all." 23.00 - Listen to the audio of Bernadette Smith explaining how 200 Disraeli came to be listed as the address on the application- especially in light of Wintrup's analysis. The Health Canada rules for applications to establish a safe consumption site don't even have a defined radius for notifications of nearby properties, services or political representatives, and what details are to be included. But if this was a communications tower being proposed for 200 Disraeli, it would be vastly different- and better protect the public interest. We have the details of the rules set out by ISED including - a well-defined radius for notification mailings - the information required including why the specific location is best-suited to the proposal, - the stringent timelines for acknowledging and replying to public comments and questions, and for addressing or rectifying concerns - the placement of newspaper ads Another interesting point is that a communications tower is visited perhaps twice a year by one or two technicians for repair, maintenance or installation of a new dish. Almost no traffic results, yet formal municipal concurrence is a requirement. Yet for a site frequented by hundreds of addicts weekly to use drugs- and are allowed to walk out the door- it seems Health Canada has no such sign-off required. Federal rules regulate drug site consultations with less rigour than a cell tower proposed in the middle of farmland. And the NDP knows it.

After blizzards in two provinces and a family funeral, we get back on track with Episode 4 and review recent events at City Hall, fallout from our our columns in the Winnipeg Sun, and some insight into the NDP's fake safe drug consumption site consultations. Part 1- The sights seen on trips to Regina and Deloraine for CWE wrestling fundraisers, including the unprecedented sight of dozens of freight trucks littering the ditches and medians. 8.25 - Marty speaks briefly about the sudden passing of our friend Joanne Cochrane of CTV Winnipeg, and how she always worked to make the community a better place. 15.15 Part 2- Coun. Sherri Rollins finished decorating the windows of her new ward office at the same time she ankled her post on EPC. Now, Ross Eadie (Mynarski) is Chair of the Water, Waste and Environment committee, taking on the mammoth budget for the new sewage treatment plant. The recent budget meetings have proven that City Council, by and large, refuse to accept they have a spending problem. How will the longtime maverick fit in with the Gillingham 'team" ? 25.10 - The promotion of Markus Chambers to Deputy Mayor is noted, coming while the hiring of a new police chief by his Police Board has become such a boondoggle an outside lawyer has been hired to revisit the process.

Enter ER At Your Own Risk https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/gold-no-wonder-nurses-quit-really-sick-go-to-the-er-at-your-own-risk 39.45 - “When you drill a bit deeper past the headlines of the story, you can see both the strength of the provinces' rational and the questionable nature of the opposition.” Not so fast, Dan Lett- Media Cheerleaders Won't Deter Consumption Site Questions https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-media-cheerleaders-wont-deter-consumption-site-questions - "There was only one pen and one pad of paper per table. (No) website you can enter in some concerns or questions. Nothing. It was a checkbox ‘we consulted,' That's it.” Fake Consumption Site Consultations Not Fooling Pt. Douglas Stakeholders https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/gold-fake-consumption-site-consultations-not-fooling-point-douglas-stakeholders You'll hear some information about the Thunder Bay drug use site being used as a model for the 200 Disraeli project, and an explanation how the NDP invented a 500 meter 'consultation radius' to try and control the anticipated neighbourhood outcry. - Also this week, four candidates for the Grand Chief By-Election happening Wednesday emerged from the AMC nomination process. The most familiar name of the group is former Peguis First Nation Chief Glenn Hudson, who has been in the public eye since first being elected chief of his home community in 2007, serving 6 terms and 14 years in total.  https://winnipegsun.com/news/provincial/gold-hudson-three-others-via-for-top-amc-post ****** * Our Donate page on ActionLine.ca has handy lists of our Top Podcasts of 2024; interviews with political leaders, public figures and crime victims; and our reports on City Hall and the Legislature. * It's a great way to get caught up on important issues that matter, and the lists serve as proof that when we kick-off the Season 6 funding campaign in February, we ALWAYS earn your support.

An estimated 360,000 Canadian holiday postage stamps depicting a rare, ornate Hanukkah menorah (hanukkiah lamp) rescued from the Holocaust, are among the latest casualties of the weeks-old strike by Canada Post workers. It was a two-year effort to showcase the silver-plated hanukkiah in the shape of a peacock. The post office worked with Montreal Rabbi Lisa Gruschow of Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom and volunteer curators at her shul's small Jewish museum. They urged the agency to select an actual piece of Judaica to grace the 2024 annual holiday stamp, rather than stylized graphics used during the previous six years' editions. The ceremonial candle holder was produced in the 1800s likely in Poland, made its way to Austria, and somehow survived the Nazis' Kristallnacht destruction of synagogues and homes on Nov. 9, 1938. While traces of its owners have long been lost, we know the Allies later rescued the holiday centrepiece from Nazi storerooms after the Holocaust, and it made its way to Canada after the war, where it has been part of the collection at the shul's museum for about 70 years. As Jews prepare to mark the second Hanukkah after Oct. 7, with exploding antisemitism in Canada and around the world, the team behind this year's official stamp hope their unusually-designed hanukkiah will serve as a message of light and resilience during these dark times. (And since these are permanent stamps, you can purchase them now at some post offices, and use them anytime during the year.) On today's episode of The CJN Daily, host Ellin Bessner went to see the real deal itself and hear the back story, with Rabbi Lisa Gruschow, and museum volunteers Louis Charbonneau and Monika Simon.

The fallout from our surprise revelation that 200 Disraeli was the chosen location for the NDP's drug consumption facility garnered strong reaction from the area residents, businesses and a church deemed unworthy of prior consultation. But they weren't the only ones with valid concerns about the possible ramifications for the neighbourhood, who the "harm reduction" proponents kept in the dark. In Episode 36, we review a lengthy email sent to TGCTS by Mynarski Councillor Ross Eadie- who thanked us because "no city councillor could find out to answer resident's requests for information." Part 1- "I believe safe consumption sites are needed to generally save lives as we hear from parents and family expressing the sorrow of the deaths of loved ones on the street" Coun. Eadie wrote. However, "What no one has brought up except myself is the pilot mobile safe injection site funded by the federal government in Winnipeg summary report and recommendations released some time ago. " For comments, story tips, or to donate via E-transfer, Cash and Cheque contributions, Ads & Sponsoring segments, please Email - ⁠Martygoldlive@gmail.com⁠ 14.00 Hear why Eadie prefers mobile and multiple smaller sites over a single destination-:"what reality has already demonstrated in the move of SSCOPE to the former Neechi Commons building to provide temporary housing."  He described that reality in stark terms and how it affected the quality of life in North Point Douglas. He doesn't want to see it come to the other side of the CPR tracks. "Continue the mobile safe consumption site program in other areas so there is no mass migration to the edges of South Point Douglas where there is already so many struggling in life." 19.20 Part 2- In the course of the controversy unfolding, the Point Douglas Residents Association raised the problem that at City Hall, there is no unified voice through a single council member for the area. While the group maintained the ward boundaries are a result of "gerrymandering," Eadie pushes back on that belief. Listen to a redistricting solution he tried to put forward that was quashed by another councillor, and about a meeting held without his knowledge by two other councillors that intends to interject "the brainiacs" from the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative into core area planning "when the NGOs and residents already know the solutions to the underlying problems. " We go into what the Harvard project - a program of the  Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University - is about with excerpts from their website. When you hear which the other Mayors from Canada are involved, you'll be wondering why Mayor Gillingham is wasting your tax dollars on something that very much resembles Metro's discredited Plan20-50 - a make-work project for out-of-town, out-of-touch consultants.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the major figures in Victorian British politics. Disraeli (1804 -1881) served both as Prime Minister twice and, for long periods, as leader of the opposition. Born a Jew, he was only permitted to enter Parliament as his father had him baptised into the Church of England when he was twelve. Disraeli was a gifted orator and, outside Parliament, he shared his views widely through several popular novels including Sybil or The Two Nations, which was to inspire the idea of One Nation Conservatism. He became close to Queen Victoria and she mourned his death with a primrose wreath, an event marked for years after by annual processions celebrating his life in politics.WithLawrence Goldman Emeritus Fellow in History at St Peter's College, University of OxfordEmily Jones Lecturer in Modern British History at the University of ManchesterAnd Daisy Hay Professor of English Literature and Life Writing at the University of ExeterProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Robert Blake, Disraeli (first published 1966; Faber & Faber, 2010)M.

fWotD Episode 2689: Charles William Fremantle Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 14 September 2024 is Charles William Fremantle.Sir Charles William Fremantle (12 August 1834 – 8 October 1914) was a British governmental official who served 26 years as deputy master of the Royal Mint. As the chancellor of the exchequer was ex officio master of the Royal Mint beginning in 1870, Fremantle was its executive head for almost a quarter century.Educated at Eton College, Fremantle entered the Treasury in 1853 as a clerk. He served as private secretary to several officials, lastly Benjamin Disraeli, both while Disraeli was chancellor of the exchequer, and then in 1868 while he was prime minister. Disraeli's appointment of Fremantle as deputy master of the Royal Mint excited some controversy but was supported by his political rival William Gladstone.Fremantle began as deputy master to Thomas Graham, the master of the Mint. Graham died in September 1869, and the Treasury decided the mastership should go to the chancellor of the day, with the deputy master the administrative head of the Royal Mint. Fremantle began work to modernise the antiquated Royal Mint. Much of the work had to wait until the Royal Mint was reconstructed at its premises at Tower Hill in 1882. Fremantle sought to beautify the coinage and, believing the Mint's engraver, Leonard Charles Wyon, not up to the task, sought to do so by resurrecting classic coin designs, like Benedetto Pistrucci's depiction of St George and the dragon for the sovereign.In 1894, at the age of sixty, Fremantle retired from the Royal Mint and thereafter spent time as a corporate director and as a magistrate. He died in 1914, just under two months after his eightieth birthday.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:55 UTC on Saturday, 14 September 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Charles William Fremantle on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joey.

Today's show is a titanic showdown between two arch-nemeses. It's Disraeli against Gladstone, it's David versus Goliath, it's The Rumble in the Jungle; it's Elis James facing up to his footballing rival Nish Kumar. Sparks fly, scores are settled, and a listener's dilemma is answered (sort of) in the process.It's also an episode that seeks to teach as well as entertain. And if learning that we should be writing big messages on big melons isn't enough education for you, we're not sure what is.

Nu 150 jaar geleden nam het parlement een wet aan die in de Canon van de Geschiedenis kwam. Het Kinderwetje van Van Houten. De linksliberaal Sam van Houten was een begaafd en doeltreffend politicus. En hij maakte veel ruzie, polariseerde, agendeerde en schuurde. Coen Brummer schreef de eerste volwaardige biografie van deze dwarsdenker die met 85 nog een keer een Kamerzetel won. Jaap en PG duiken met hem in dat lange leven tussen 1837 en 1930.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show!Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij nemen contact met u opOp sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***De jonge Sam liet al direct een brandende ambitie zien. Als wetenschapper, publicist en als politicus. Zijn doelwitten waren geen kleintjes: Adam Smith en Johan Rudolph Thorbecke. Hij vond hun liberalisme belegen en een rem op verdere maatschappelijke vernieuwing. De oude ‘Thor' liet dat niet op zich zitten en poogde vergeefs de eigenwijze jonge geestverwant af te remmen.Van Houten zou in onze tijd een zeer actieve sociale media en podcast politicus zijn geweest. Net als tijdgenoot Abraham Kuyper was hij onstuitbaar als publicist in alle media van die tijd, inclusief nieuwe, door hem zelf in leven geroepen tijdschriften en reeksen essays. En daarin pookte hij vele controverses op. Zowel binnen de eigen liberale kring als bij de bestrijding van socialisten en confessionelen. Van vrouwenemancipatie, geboortebeperking tot 'lijkverbranding' - op alle hypergevoelige onderwerpen van die tijd was hij een radicale secularist.Desondanks wist hij op cruciale momenten verrassend pragmatisch te werk te gaan. Hoe hij zijn 'Kinderwetje' en de belangrijke doorbraak in het kiesrecht voor elkaar kreeg doet denken aan zowel Jan de Koning als aan de latere geestverwant Hans van Mierlo: “De revolutie maken voordat die uitbreekt.” Van Houtens lange politieke leven is vol verrassingen en leert ons hoe het Binnenhof destijds functioneerde. Het districtenstelsel speelde daarbij een essentiële rol. En wie wil snappen hoe 'extraparlementaire' kabinetten in de praktijk echt werken, kan hier fraaie verhalen en voorbeelden vinden.Veel latere politici hadden wel iets van Van Houten. Frits Bolkestein bijvoorbeeld. Of Ronald Plasterk. Omdat hij als liberaal de massademocratie verwierp schoof hij op zijn oude dag steeds verder naar rechts. Hij zag zelfs heel even wel wat in de reactionaire gedachten van Mussolini. Een polariserend individualist bleef hij zijn hele leven.***Verder lezenCoen Brummer - Sam van Houten tegen de restTip van PG aan het einde van de aflevering: Sybrand Buma - Wiardus Willem Buma en het geheugen van Friesland***Verder luisteren60 - Coen Brummer & Daniël Boomsma: De canon van het sociaal-liberalisme07 - Coen Brummer over de koers van Rob Jetten 48 - Adam Smith en de welvaart van landen274 - Thorbecke, denker en doener50 - De politieke strijd om de vrijheid van onderwijs339 - De negentiende eeuw van Bismarck303 - Bijzondere Britse premiers (oa Disraeli)161 - Hans van Mierlo, een politieke popster32 - Gesprek met Frits Bolkestein***Tijdlijn00:00:00 – Deel 100:31:35 – Deel 201:01:42 – Deel 301:38:11 – Einde Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's easy to look at American politics, now, and find individuals for whom loyalty to party or an individual leader is the only thing that matters. But Richard Aldous tells us of another time when service to the nation was the highest service in public life.  Aldous is the Eugene Meyer Professor of British history and Culture at Bard College  and specializes in twentieth-century history. He earned his Ph.D., from the University of Cambridge and is a Fellow in the Royal Historical Society. He has authored and edited 11 books, including “Schlesinger: The Imperial Historian,” “Reagan and Thatcher: The Difficult Relationship,” “Macmillan, Eisenhower and the Cold War,” “The Lion and the Unicorn: Gladstone vs. Disraeli” and biographies of Malcolm Sargent and Tony Ryan. Aldous also taught for 15 years at University College Dublin, where he was chair of the History Department. He continues to write regularly for publications including the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and The American Interest, where he is a contributing editor.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Season 4, Episode 1, Part 1- We are making a difference, as 2023 proved. Marty Gold thanks the audience and pledges to keep up the pace. Fan mail is reviewed, and then there's talk about the final episodes of 2023, and the first ActionLine.ca post of 2024- the Bobby Hull retrospective with guest Peter Young. 07:40 Part 2 - A Pollyanna is a person with irrepressible optimism and a tendency to find good in everything. Also- "a sunshine-spreading orphan". Enter Dr. Joss Reimer. On the morning of New Year's Eve, the local media darling started a Twitter thread: "I work on Main street, north of the Disraeli bridge.  I run or bike to work.  People (usually people who do not walk around in that area) often tell me how dangerous that is.  Here is my experience:" The Chief Medical Officer of the WRHA said she's "never witnessed any violence apart from cars." "SUVs and trucks are a very real danger on all our roads" "I'm left wondering how much the perception of danger downtown is just good old fashioned racism." The message from the president-elect of the CMA, the national doctors body? If you're driving downtown to a game, concert, buffet at East India Company- YOU'RE the danger downtown. AND if you're afraid of being mugged or carjacked? You're a racist! But a parody 'Bart Kives' account framed her "pillar of the community" comment precisely, as did others who refuted Reimer's woke derangment. It's rare to see a public figure get so thoroughly slapped down for not knowing what they were talking about. You'll hear about Marty's firsthand experience within 3 minutes at the Portage Place food court on Wednesday. Restauranteur Ravi Ramberran had just told CJOB: "It makes it hard for people to feel safe coming to work...this is the new normal now. I refuse to see that happen." Reimer, who doesn't pay from her own pocket when windows are broken or doors are smashed, refuses to see it at all. People asked if she's spoken with medical staff at HSC, or with women at all, about downtown safety. For instance: on Dec. 4, Romeo Chris Miles pleaded guilty to threatening an off-duty cop- with a machete. He got a year of supervised probation despite persistently failing to comply with court orders, assaults, thefts, robbery, break-and-enter and thefts. Five days later he was part of a kidnapping, sexual assault and robbery of a young woman, left in a downtown dumpster. Would Dr. Reimer say that the victim's fear of that lifetime criminal with an IQ of 44 was "racist"?

One woman 'woke' the highly-woke Reimer up to their reality: "I think this is an irresponsible post. You dismiss others' safety concerns with such little regard simply biased on your own privileged experience" "I work downtown and have for 18 years. Pre-covid was a way different vibe. People are now unpredictable..." "if your whole point was really the jab at cars, and to point out how much you choose alternative transportation then just say it. At least then others aren't shamed" 32:29 - Part 4- A recap of the Top 10 episodes of 2023! The list included a transit union scandal, four interviews, election news, and East St. Paul parents defending Mother's Day. Marty also points listeners to our Christmas Day column- which got a response from an MP and a City Councilor. He adds a concluding thought about functioning seniors in their sunset years kept in secure facilities while Miles was allowed out in public. Dr. Joss Reimer should answer questions about that, from a public health perspective. Please review our top podcasts using the links on our ⁠⁠⁠Donate page⁠⁠⁠!

This is our first film review for Season 3, covering Disraeli, which was released on November 1, 1929. The movie follows English Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli as he navigates the world of espionage (yes, spies!), manipulates information, and races against time to secure the purchase of the Suez Canal. George Arliss stars as Disraeli, and went on to earn the Academy Award for Best Actor. We attempt to look into Billboard charts and bestseller lists...but much to our chagrin, those stats aren't quite ready for primetime...they don't fully exist in our current timeline in November, 1929. We also cover SIX MONTHS of world history, including the Stock Market Crash, and more accolades for Babe Ruth. Please leave us a review wherever you are listening!Email us rants as well as raves: sheacinema@gmail.comYou can also find us on Instagram (and now Twitter/X): @sheacinema

G'day Diplomates fans:To round out the year, we had our great friend Hagar Chemali on discuss EVERYTHING happening in the world:Including:-- Israel Palestine and what happens next-- Trump in 2024-- The politics of Ukraine aid-- Hong Kong and Russian 'elections'-- India, Canada and the politics of assassinationsAND MORE!Please get yourself a copy of The Sun Will Rise The Sun Will Rise is inspired by true events and dedicated to the brave heroes of Ukraine. It is based on Misha's reporting from inside Ukraine, real events from the war as well as the complex history between Russia and Ukraine. ABOUT THE SUN WILL RISE: Oksana Shevchenko remembers life as it once was. Before the War. Before the Invaders stripped her freedom away. Before the Motherland decided to take what wasn't hers, and call it her own. As the leader of the local Union, thirty-one-year-old Oksana has met her match in enemy officer Lieutenant General Mikhailovich, who will stop at nothing to win glory for the Motherland – and himself.  After he captures the city of Heryvin, the young, ambitious Mikhailovich forces Oksana and her Union comrades to operate the local nuclear power plant for the Motherland's gain, while sapping its capacity to operate safely.  It's a nightmare for a city still reeling from the disastrous Accident that took the lives of dozens – including Oksana's father – decades before. Caught between her loyalty to those resisting the Occupation and a nuclear catastrophe threatened by increasingly impossible orders, Oksana must find a way to defeat Mikhailovich before his sadistic determination leads him to doing the unthinkable.  But Oksana might not be alone in her fight, because war makes heroes out of the ordinary and unlikely. A grandmother defiantly waving the colour of her nation. A principal offering a safe haven for students dreaming of brighter futures. A young adult choosing courage in the face of mortal danger. A country quietly showing that glory belongs to those who dare to hold on against impossible odds.  Because one day soon, the sun will set on dictators.  And the sun will rise on freedom once again. Inspired by true events in Ukraine, The Sun Will Rise is a tribute to those bravely fighting for their freedom – and ours. PRAISE FOR THE SUN WILL RISE: Stirring, brilliant, soulful. An Orwellian tale, evoking the very essence of Ukraine's fight for freedom and our right to exist”  — Kira Rudyk, leading Ukrainian Member of Parliament. “A love letter to the human spirit, Zelinsky's deeply personal coverage of Russia's invasion comes to life in this stunning first novel. An affecting story about the humanity behind the news”  — Wayne Swan, President of the Australian Labor Party, former deputy prime minister and world finance minister of the year.  “Zelinsky's outstanding journalism transported Russian brutality and Ukrainian bravery from the battlefront to our homes. Now, this story gives us a reason to hope”  — Ambassador, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, Ukraine's Ambassador to Australia. “Misha Zelinsky has penned a gripping book which although fictional, depicts the courage, strength and conviction of the Ukrainian people fighting for their freedom and sovereignty. Once you pick up The Sun Will Rise, you will not be able to put it down.  It is an exciting read.   — Ambassador Paula J. Dobriansky, former Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs (2001-2009) “A gripping page-turner, set in Ukraine in the wake of Russia's invasion. Misha Zelinsky has captured the bravery and humanity of Ukrainians living under occupation, as well as the callousness and cynicism of Vladimir Putin's soldiers. Original, compelling, and topical, The Sun Will Rise is an impressive novel which brings to life recent history.” — Luke Harding, award-winning foreign correspondent with the Guardian and New York Times best selling author of books including Invasion: Russia's Bloody War and Ukraine's Fight for Survival, shortlisted for the Orwell prize. “Zelinsky has turned his superb war reportage into a riveting first novel, inspired by real people and events, but transcending them to convey the heart behind the conflict. If you want to know why Ukrainians fight and why it's our fight too, this is the place to start. Reminiscent of Disraeli—a novelist turned British statesman—a writer with such soul, who knows what makes people and countries great, would be a rare addition to our public life.   — The Hon. Tony Abbott, 28th prime minister of Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Twain, allegedly quoting Disraeli, once said "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." California politicians led by Gavin Newsom seem determined to apply all three in their crusade against firearms and those who own them. They're using traditional strategies like the demonization of so-called "assault weapons" and bans of upsized magazines, but are also employing bizarre legal maneuvers such as environmental policy and exploiting stereotypes surrounding mental illness and cannabis use to crack down on what they falsely claim is the nations leading cause of death for children. C.D. "Chuck" Michel is leading the charge as the President and General Counsel for the California Rifle & Pistol Association. Today, he joins the program to talk about Newsom's recent legislative actions against gun rights and why the secret weapon to defeat them may lie within, of all places, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. ***** TOP STORIES Criminal-Friendly Seattle Is So Bad This Guy's Shocked When a Judge Won't Let Him Go Why Was a Violent, Gender-Confused Boy Allowed to Stay in Portland School After Beating up Girls?

History is replete with infamous grudges. Invasions launched by Julius Caesar, political rivalry between Gladstone and Disraeli and musical enmities that turn tragic in the case of Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur. But are grudges good or bad? What is the best way to deal with them and why do we have them in the first place? In this week's episode, we discuss grudges. We define the key characteristics of a grudge, compare them to feuds and vendettas, explore the notion of a good grudge and touch upon the animal kingdom, first impressions and justice. Finally, we reveal our favourite and longest-held grudges. - Werner Herzog anecdote about Klaus Kinski's "egomania" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCaTAGNkYQc - Grudge: the emotional side of resentment https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/emsoc/5/2/article-p139.xml#:~:text=Following%20this%20perspective%2C%20Max%20Scheler,25 For more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com

Disraeli didn't last long after losing power for the last time, dying within a year. That ended a remarkable era, of the long battle between him and Gladstone. Next, the survivor, Gladstone, had to build a second government, made up of both Whigs and Radicals, the two great wings of his Liberal Party. The relations between them were becoming tense, with friction, between the more conservative views of the Whigs and the more liberal aspirations of the Radicals, beginning to grow. As we'll discover later. Gladstone also faced a problem he'd set out to solve in his previous government, when he'd declared that his mission was to pacify Ireland. That nation, which I argue Britain treated as merely another colony, even though its technical status was far grander, was once more experiencing an upsurge in unrest, especially as the effects of a bad harvest struck home. This episode tracks Gladstone's attempts to resolve the problem up to the moment he got a Land Act through parliament. It pauses on the way to talk about the origins of the word ‘boycott'. And it concludes that the Land Act didn't really resolve the problems of Ireland and might, indeed, have been merely a diversion from the real issue. As we'll explore in future episodes.   Illustration: Cartoon of Charles Cunningham Boycott, whose name is now used for an campaign of ostracism directed against a political opponent.

Ixion In Heaven

The Infernal Marriage

The Voyage of Captain Popanilla

It had all been going so well. The Congress of Berlin had been a huge success, allowing Disraeli (and Salisbury) to bring back peace with honour. Things should have been flowing the Conservatives' way. But then there were a couple of bad military adventures, launched by over-powerful and out-of-control colonial administrators. Both ended up costing a lot of money and a lot of lives, for little gain. One, the Second Anglo-Afghan War, was even launched from India while a famine that eventually cost 8 million lives was raging and relief budgets were being cut to save money, although funds were being poured into waging war. At the same time, the British economy was doing badly, with a recession and bad harvests. That all added up to a rather bleaker picture for the Conservatives than their successes might have implied. This episode also introduces three people we'll be hearing more about later, and who had significant moments in the 1870s (in one case, the moment was birth, a pretty significant event, without which it's hard for anyone to make a name for themselves).     Illustration: Graveyard at Isandlwana, site of Britain's worst defeat in a colonial war since the American War of Independence.

We start this episode with a Russian army north of Constantinople ready to invade the city, and a British naval squadron in the waters to its south ready – or at least apparently ready – to resist it. In the end, it was the Russians who blinked. With war avoided, the Berlin Congress of all the European Great Powers met and left Russia with a much reduced list of gains from its war against Turkey, than it had try to secure in the Treaty of San Stefano. Disraeli and Salisbury conducted preliminary negotiations to ensure that they had commitments to the outcome they wanted before even going into the Congress. That allowed Disraeli to proclaim on his return that he had won ‘Peace with Honour'. In his case, that was probably true, which can't be said of many of the people who've used the expression since. The Congress was the major and substantial foreign policy achievement of a premiership which had also contained some earlier symbolic successes, such as the purchase of Suez Canal shares and the granting to Victoria of the title ‘Empress of India'. For now, the only shadow was Disraeli's own health, that drove him in tiredness from the stressful environment of the Commons to the calmer waters of the Lords. Finally, the episode talks of the appointment of a bookseller as First Lord of the Admiralty, and how that fed into the glorious Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, HMS Pinafore.

Here's the episode where we learn where the word Jingoism was born. After talking last time about the remarkable achievements on the domestic front of the second Disraeli government with its social reform, this week we start to look at what interested him far more: foreign affairs. And the biggest affair of them all was the ‘Eastern Question', precipitated by yet another war between Russia and Turkey. That in turn followed on from the massacres carried out by Turkish forces in the Balkans, specifically what came to be known as the ‘Bulgarian atrocities'. Gladstone re-emerged from semi-retirement to denounce those horrors. Disraeli, on the other hand, was far more worried about the behaviour of the Russians and intent on blocking their expansion. As time went on, public opinion seemed to swing increasingly in his direction. “We don't want to fight,” claimed the music hall song, “but by Jingo if we do, we've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money too.” In deciding how to confront the Russian threat, Disraeli found himself working increasingly closely with a man with whom he'd previously fallen out badly, Lord Salisbury. And, we'll see, their collaboration worked.   Illustration: HMS Alexandra, flagship of the British Mediterranean fleet in the 1870s, and one of the ironclads that forced the Dardanelles.

Disraeli's second government was an administration of progressive conservatism, a strange moment in a general history of the Conservative Party as essentially, well, conservative. Partly that was politically expedient, looking for support among the working class, but partly it was sincere, based on a deep revulsion at the conditions in which most of it lived. Much of the reforming legislation was piloted by Richard Cross, Disraeli's imaginative, and bold, choice as Home Secretary. It included the conclusion of the long campaign led by many but above all by Lord Shaftesbury, to limit the hours worked by women and children. It also abolished the use of ‘climbing boys', the use of kids as chimney sweeps. It, astonishingly for a Conservative government, extended union rights, including decriminalising the right to picket. And it even included the introduction of the Plimsoll line on ships, to prevent overloading and the many sailors' deaths to which it led. On all these reforms, resistance was loud and strong from business interests. And, the final surprise of this time, they were being faced down by a Conservative government.

We've reached the point where the political pendulum has at last swung the Conservative way, giving it a working parliamentary majority for the first time in three decades. Despite all his efforts to get that majority in 1874, Disraeli seems to have been surprised by the extent of his success. He took power without a properly worked-out set of policies to apply. In particular, since he was more interested in foreign affairs, he had little in place in the way of a domestic programme. For that he would depend on his ministers, so getting their selection right was a major task. One of the most difficult nuts to crack would be getting Salisbury into his government, if only to stop him sniping from outside. This he pulled off in part thanks to the intervention of the Countess of Derby, though her relationships with Salisbury and other leading figures in the story is worthy of a soap opera. The absence of a good domestic programme left a space open into which the Archbishop of Canterbury was able to insert a nasty piece of Church legislation, in the course of the last ever parliamentary session that would be overwhelmingly devoted to a religious matter. That was in strange contrast with the instincts of Disraeli's government which, despite being Conservative, were strangely progressive socially.

A sea change took place at the 1874 British general election. The previous year, Gladstone and his government, exhausted by its searing pace of reform, lost a parliamentary vote on what he saw (and many of his colleagues didn't) as the essential third leg of his tripod of measures to pacify Ireland, the foundation of a Catholic university in Ireland. They resigned but Disraeli, in a brilliant political move, refused to take his place. So Gladstone had buckle on the armour again and his failing government struggled on for a few months more. Over those months, a scandal hit them and, in the course of reshuffling his ministers, he decided to take on the Chancellorship of the Exchequer himself, a further burden on a man already worn out by his responsibilities. So, when the election was finally called, the Conservatives went in revitalised while the Liberals fought it already half defeated. The result? For the first time in 33 years, the Conservatives won a parliamentary majority and Disraeli could finally form a government with a chance of lasting a while. What's more, a new party representing Irish interests took a big block of seats too. Far from pacifying Ireland, all Gladstone had done was preside over the appearance of a new organisation speaking out against British rule. And even against his own party.

“My mission is to pacify Ireland,” Gladstone had declared when he took office as Prime Minister. This episode looks briefly at Disraeli's behaviour as he left power, including the peerage he sought for his wife (rather than for himself). Then we move on to Gladstone's attempts to secure peace in Ireland, first through disestablishment of the Church of Ireland, then through new legislation concerning Irish land ownership. They involved serious and exhausting battles, though they achieved very little in the way of pacifying Ireland... As the exhaustion of these struggles began to affect the government, and indeed Gladstone, Disraeli found new form and came back to the attack. Notably with one of his best known denunciations of ministers, as a series of dormant volcanoes. The pendulum was swinging back his way.

The Liberals are back, and they're being liberal. Gladstone followed Disraeli into Downing Street, and led a reforming government. So Disraeli with the Conservatives managed to reach the top of the greasy pole first, but he got only ten months before being kicked out unceremoniously by Gladstone and the Liberal Party. Oddly, though, Gladstone didn't too well personally, losing his parliamentary seat - as he had at the previous election too. He only managed to cling on in parliament by being nominated for another seat at the same time, and winning that one. His government brought in a slew of reforms followed in the military, in education, in trade union law and, as another key step on the road to democracy, in legislation to introduce secret ballots in national and local elections. This was also the time when Germany emerged as a nation, proclaimed as the Second Reich in, of all places, the Hall of Mirrors of Versailles, in defeated and humiliated France. German victory was a warning to the other powers, one that Britain failed to take seriously enough. Meanwhile, trouble was continuing in Ireland. But since pacifying that country was Gladstone's self-declared mission, we've left that to our next episode.

We're reaching the moment when Disraeli, fresh from outwitting Gladstone over electoral reform, climbed, in his own words, to the top of the greasy pole. Indeed, becoming Prime Minister after Derby resigned, was the first major milestone in a political career that Disraeli had hit before his rival. And it was the big one. Meanwhile, Gladstone had followed John Russell into the leadership of the Liberals. So the two great adversaries were facing each other in the top jobs of the two sides of parliament, Prime Minister and leader of the Opposition. And Gladstone was ready to hit back at Dizzy. The opportunity was provided by that long-running, ever-recurring sore in the history Britain, its misrule in Ireland. And this time it was Disraeli's turn to be outmanoeuvred.

It's time for a master class in opposition by the man who said that the role of the Opposition is to oppose. Disraeli and Gladstone, both now leaders in the House of Commons of the Liberal and Conservative parties respectively, faced off over electoral reform. And Disraeli displayed real genius in outflanking Gladstone, first to defeat him by opposing reform when the Liberals proposed it while they were in government, and then by backing it when the Conservatives took over and proposed their own legislation. So a glorious example of opportunism pursued with dazzling skill in the pursuit of power.

Lux Radio Theatre, sometimes spelled Lux Radio Theater, a classic radio anthology series, was broadcast on the NBC Blue Network (1934–35) (owned by the National Broadcasting Company, later predecessor of American Broadcasting Company [ABC] in 1943–1945); CBS Radio network (Columbia Broadcasting System) (1935–54), and NBC Radio (1954–55). Initially, the series adapted Broadway plays during its first two seasons before it began adapting films. These hour-long radio programs were performed live before studio audiences. The series became the most popular dramatic anthology series on radio, broadcast for more than 20 years and continued on television as the Lux Video Theatre through most of the 1950s. The primary sponsor of the show was Unilever through its Lux Soap brand.

This week we're into Dizzy times again. Disraeli, or Dizzy as he came to be known, had played a leading role in bringing down the Palmerston government in 1858. That allowed the Earl of Derby, leader of the Conservatives, to form his second administration. With Derby in the Lords, responsibility for managing the government's affairs in the Commons fell to Dizzy, as Leader of the House of Commons, and he also became Chancellor of the Exchequer again. The Derby government brought in the legislation that ended the East India Company's rule in India, replacing it by direct rule from London and launching the British Raj. Next, Disraeli picked up the cause of electoral reform, surprisingly for a Conservative. He realised, as few in his party had, that extending the vote might actually benefit the Conservatives, and that there was no inevitability to artisans voting Liberal. But the reform proposals failed as the Liberals, finally getting their act together, rallied enough force to defeat the government, and then did it again following a general election in which the Conservatives did well but not well enough to win an outright majority. The second Derby government had lasted sixteen months, barely more than the ten months of the first. And Dizzy had to move back into Opposition.
