Today's podcast: On the minds and conscience of Canadians.

Guest: Major Mark Campbell. PPCLI. Major Campbell was a career soldier in the Canadian army who lost both legs to an IED in Afghanistan and who previously shared with us that Afghan interpreters saved Canadian lives and were the first targets for insurgents during firefights. One such interpreter who served with Major Campbell is featured in our next segment.  During a live broadcast in August of 2021, as panic engulfed Kabul and thousands of Afghans, including CAF interpreters desperately attempted to escape capture and death by the Taliban by securing places of Canadian evacuation flights we broadcast a live interview with two of the interpreters. One had been able to flee the country without assistance and joined us from Dallas, TX, but still was denied entry to Canada. The other remained with his family somewhere near Kabul desperately praying they would receive the call from the Canadian government in response to his pleas to Ottawa for evacuation.   Guests: "Left behind Alex" who had served with Major Mark Campbell in Afghanistan.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson thank the listeners, viewers and sponsors for the new equipment that they're using, which will hopefully punch this podcast up to ever-greater heights. (Once they figure out how to use it!) They also talk about the by-election in St. Paul's. Jen doesn't think the Liberals have enough time to replace Justin Trudeau. Matt says he should feel honour-bound to remain and absorb a defeat, leaving the Liberals better off to fight the next election. They both enjoyed a news report from Justin Ling in the Toronto Star. Note to federal cabinet ministers: don't have sensitive conversations in public places, because a reporter might literally be sitting next to you listening to everything.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Unsmoke Canada.

The Afghan Detainee scandal became the defining story of Canada's war in Kandahar. It exposed Canada's complicity and direct involvement in war crimes. And it helped fuel the insurgency that eventually brought down the Afghan government. Despite repeated denials by senior government and military officials, there's evidence that many Canadians knew they were sending Afghans to be tortured. So why did so few people do anything to stop it? And what role did Harjit Sajjan, Trudeau's first Minister of Defence, play in ensuring that the full story will never come out?   Featured in this episode: Ahmad Malgarai, Amir Attaran, Sharif Sharaf, Craig Scott, Harjit Sajjan   To learn more: “From Canadian custody into cruel hands” by Graeme Smith in The Globe and Mail “Canada defended Afghan 'human-rights abuser,' memos allege” by Murray Brewster in The Canadian Press “Ethics commissioner acknowledges Sajjan downplayed his role and knowledge of Afghan detainee issue” by David Pugliese in The Ottawa CItizen The Dogs Are Eating Them Now: Our War in Afghanistanby Graeme Smith    Additional music from Audio Network   This episode is brought to you by Oxio, Images Festival, HelloFresh, Calm   If you listen on Apple, subscribe to Canadaland Politics for $2.99/month for ad-free episodes of COMMONS, Wag the Doug and The BackBench. https:/apple.co/3wjxaRW Support COMMONS: http://commonspodcast.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Real life Canadian 'Succession'  No matter how awkward your holiday dinner might get, it likely won't beat the Rogers family get together this year. The telecom giant is dealing with serious family infighting in the company, causing their stocks to drop and soap opera-like stories to be splashed across the news.

Spanx founder catching attention for all the right reasons Sara Blakely, CEO of Spanx is having a pretty sweet week with the sale of a majority share of her company to a private equity firm.

We've been following Sara's moves for a while and think she's super inspirational and sets an amazing example of vision and perseverance for women everywhere. Cabinet Upgrade Justin Trudeau did a little shuffle after the elections with a new cabinet containing many women. While he's been called performative and shallow and accused of tokenism, we think it looks great on he government, especially since with the new very qualified minister of defence, being not only a women, but a child of immigrants, Anita Anand. What we DON'T love is the now-erased headline announcing that previous minister of defense Harjit Sajjan was "being replaced by a woman".  Roblox X Chipotle  Chipotle is hosting a 3 day  "Halloween-themed 'Boorito' experience" via the game Roblox, where people can virtually trick or treat in the online restaurant and earn coupons towards actual in-restaurant food.

For months, Global News has brought you stories from survivors of sexual violence in Canada's military. This week on the ‘The West Block,' defence minister Harjit Sajjan defends his government's move to launch yet another external review of the problem, promising swift action to stamp out sexual misconduct from the Canadian Forces once and for all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The At Issue panel discusses the federal government's decision to launch another review into sexual misconduct in the military and the political consequences of its actions. Plus in this extended edition, the panellists unpack the Ontario government's reversal on paid sick leave.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: New modelling data released by the province suggests the third wave is now finally "cresting" but the current situation remains very "precarious." Experts with Ontario's COVID-19 science advisory table presented the new data during a news conference on Thursday, as infection numbers in the province dropped below the 4,000 mark for several days. Brown said the third wave cresting is due to lower mobility rates. He said that while retail, recreation and transit mobility has fallen significantly, workplace mobility, which refers to essential workers travelling to job sites, remains high. The science table is now calling for even stronger measures to curb case growth. Projections released on Thursday show that without stronger measures, daily cases would remain above 2,000 in June. ALSO: A weekly breakdown of when people in Ontario will have access to COVID vaccines GUEST: Dr. Zain Chagla, an Infectious Disease Specialist with St. Joseph’s Hospital and an Associate Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Department of Medicine with McMaster University - Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan is launching an independent, external review into sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces led by former Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour. The review will centre around providing recommendations to set up an independent reporting system so that military members can share allegations of sexual misconduct outside of the military chain of command — a key request by victims and survivors who say they have for too long faced reprisals for coming forward. GUEST: Stephanie Carvin, Associate Professor of International Affairs at the Norman Paterson School of International Affair at Carleton University, Former National Security Analyst for CSIS - In 1993’s Groundhog Day, the character played by actor Bill Murray relives the same day over and over again. Fast forward to 2021 and you couldn’t blame Ontario’s 400,000 retail and small business owners for feeling the same way. With the third lockdown in full swing, Ontario retailers have had to hire and fire staff, buy and markdown inventory, and open and close stores in a never-ending merry-go-round of financial and emotional pain and uncertainty. Stuck in a holding pattern and frustrated with governments that appear to move in slow motion, these entrepreneurs have had to innovate just to tread water in an industry at the forefront of COVID-19’s wrath. With non-essential retailers closed and essential retailers capped at 25% capacity, there is limited cash flow to help pay never-ending bills. And don’t forget about the debt that small businesses have incurred during the pandemic. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) estimates that on average, each small business owes $170,000. GUEST: Bruce Winder, Retail analyst and author - Doctors and other front-line professionals, backed by Canadian celebrities, have banded together to get accurate vaccine information to those most at risk of contracting COVID-19. The This Is Our Shot campaign launched Wednesday was driven largely by groups that have been reaching out to and advocating for racialized communities bearing the brunt of the pandemic. The goal is to dispel myths and to answer questions in more than two dozen languages. Celebrities, including actor Ryan Reynolds, crooner Michael Buble and Olympic hockey star Hayley Wickenheiser, are pushing the campaign by posting photos of themselves on social media wearing This Is Our Shot T-shirts.

Alex Speaks with Mercedes Stephenson, Ottawa Bureau Chief and host of The West Block about the still developing investigation into sexual allegations laid against former Chief of the Defence Staff General Jonathan Vance. Then Conservative MP Michael Barrett speaks with Alex about the recent developments in the WE Charity scandal, and why the Kielburger brothers refuse to testify in two House of Commons committees. And finally, Alex speaks with Lawrence Herman, Sr. Fellow of the C.D. Howe Institute and counsel at Herman and Associates about the many issues surrounding the Enbridge Line 5 Pipeline, and why Canada shouldn't let America kill it.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CHAPTER 1

Russia is one of the hostile foreign states that has targeted Canada in recent “cyber influence” campaigns, according to secret intelligence records obtained exclusively by Global News. The records from Canada's Communications Security Establishment are labelled “Secret: Canadian Eyes Only”. They say that due to their policies in Eastern Europe, then-Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chrystia Freeland, and Minister of National Defence, Harjit Sajjan, are among the Canadian targets of “cyber influence activity to cause reputational damage.”   Guest: Ward Elcock  Former CSIS director

Le Canada vote contre Israël à l'ONU, en rupture avec Trump sur la Palestine En rupture avec la toute récente position des États-Unis au sujet des Palestiniens, le Canada vient de voter contre les prétentions d'Israël à l'ONU. Il a appuyé une résolution des Nations unies en faveur du droit des Palestiniens à l'autodétermination. Il s'agit d'une volte-face historique. Chrystia Freeland : La grosse pointure canadienne aux Affaires étrangères qui dérange la Russie Comme l'explique le spécialiste de l'Ukraine, Dominique Arel, titulaire de la Chaire d'études ukrainiennes à l'Université d'Ottawa, Mme Freeland connaît très bien l'économie politique et en particulier le secteur de l'énergie parce qu'elle a été correspondante, entre autres, pour le Financial Times en Russie. Remaniement ministériel à Ottawa : les Affaires étrangères changent de titulaire Stéphane Dion quitte la vie politique et cède son fauteuil à Chrystia Freeland, jusque-là ministre du Commerce international. Mme Freeland, une ex-journaliste économique, s'est fait remarquer notamment en parvenant à faire signer, in extremis, l'automne dernier, le traité de libre-échange entre le Canada et l'Union européenne. Virage plus batailleur des affaires étrangères sous John Baird Lorsqu'on se mettra à décrire dans les livres l'histoire, l'empreinte laissée sur le reste de la planète par ce ministre plein de fougue, il faudra mentionner en caractère gras une série de gestes qui ont érodé l'image conciliatrice internationale du Canada pour lui substituer un ton plus batailleur et polarisateur.
