Dr. Angela Schneider, Director, The International Centre for Olympic Studies, Western University

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: We have scheduled provincial and municipal elections two months apart. And we may have a federal election at any time because Parliament is in a precarious minority situation. Elections are a time of great democratic renewal, but they are also a time of polarizing partisanship as each side tries to win the hearts and minds of voters. Concern for the pandemic will be exacerbated by the rhetoric of division and hyperbole during the electoral periods ahead. It will seem as if the centre isn't holding, but that is only the appearance of chaos. In fact our democracy will prevail and be strengthened by the process ahead. GUEST: John Best, Founder of the Bay Observer - A month away, what is the state of the Beijing Olympics? Should Canada send athletes to Beijing? GUEST: Dr. Angela Schneider, Director of the International Centre for Olympic Studies at Western University, Silver medal rower, coxed fours, 1984 Olympics - How do we move forward with the unvaccinated in society? Australia denies Djokovic entry to their country, but in Canada the thought of denying healthcare to unvaccinated people is unthinkable? We are denying healthcare to people who need surgeries by delaying them. Where do we draw the line as a society? GUEST: Timothy Caulfield, Professor at the University of Alberta and Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy

Canada won't be sending government diplomats to the Winter Olympics in Beijing this February. Neither will the United States, United Kingdom or Australia. Officials hope the move will send a message to China that human rights abuses by its government have not gone unnoticed. Meanwhile, Beijing dismissed the announcements as a "farce." Our question this week: How do you feel about Canada's diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Olympic Games? Does it go far enough? Angela Schneider, director of the International Center for Olympic Studies at Western University, weighs in on the effectiveness of Olympic boycotts; Tibetan Canadian activist Chemi Lhamo explains why she believes the diplomatic boycott doesn't go far enough; Former Olympic gymnast Kris Burley says athletes should be left out of political posturing; and Lynette Ong, professor of political science at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, on the China-Canada relations.

The U.S. has announced a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing — prompting calls for Canada to do the same. We talk to two former Olympians: former U.S. Olympic soccer player Jules Boykoff, who is now a politics professor and author of Power Games: A Political History of the Olympics; and Angela Schneider, a rower who won silver in Los Angeles in 1984. She's now an associate professor and director at the International Centre for Olympic Studies at Western University.

On today's show, the United States is staging a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Games. Should Canada do the same? We'll hear from Dr. Angela Schneider, the director of the International Centre for Olympic Studies at Western University as well as Heather McPherson, the NDP MP for Edmonton-Strathcona and critic for Foreign Affairs & International Development. Plus, Ken Coates joins us to talk about Canada's failure to properly respond to protests that actually threaten democracy and the rule of law. And, we'll get a history lesson on Agnes Macphail, Canada's first female MP elected to the House of Commons 100 years ago this week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who can forget these memorable moments in sports when reigning world champions lost their titles, medals, and invitations to compete as punishment for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs. But while most sports experts agree these high-profile scandals represent just the tip of the iceberg, some say the time has come to accept that doping is part and parcel of the spectacle of elite sport. They argue that the days where athletes won medals based on natural genetic advantage and dedicated training are long gone and that the World Anti Doping Administration's push for clean athletes is wishful fantasy. The future of sport is one where athletes will push their physiological boundaries with the help of steroids, hormones, and yes even gene editing, embracing the high-tech innovation that is revolutionizing every other aspect of our lives. Anti-doping crusaders respond that a sporting world that allows unrestricted access to performance enhancement drugs is one that threatens athletes' lives and also spells the end of sport as we have played and watched it for thousands of years. They argue that the most powerful reason to ban doping is that it undermines the skill development and overcoming of physical and mental obstacles that lies at the heart of fair play. Substances that provide immediate athletic advantages without any work or struggle represents the beginning of a joyless and pointless brave new world in sports. Arguing for the motion is Julian Savulescu, Uehiro Chair in Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford, where he directs the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics and Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities. Arguing against the motion is Angela Schneider, Director of the International Centre for Olympic Studies, an Associate Professor in Kinisiology at the University of Western Ontario, and an Olympic silver medallist in rowing.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Canada is getting its first Indigenous governor general with the appointment of Inuk leader Mary Simon, says Prime Minister Justine Trudeau. The announcement comes five months after former governor general Julie Payette resigned amid a “scathing” workplace conduct review and as speculation heats up that the federal parties are on the verge of a summer election before the House of Commons returns in the fall. Trudeau announced on Tuesday morning at the Canadian Museum of History that Queen Elizabeth II has approved the appointment of Simon, a prominent Inuk leader who was formerly the Canadian ambassador to Denmark and who played a leading role in the creation of the Arctic Council. GUEST: Dr. Lori Turnbull, Director of the School of Public Administration with Dalhousie University - With more than 34.6 per cent of Canadians fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and the removal of hotel quarantine requirements for those fully vaccinated, plans to resume travel are slowly but surely ramping up across the country. But are Canadians protected in the case of continued change? With gaps in provincial and territorial travel health coverage, it is more important than ever to be prepared for unexpected events. GUEST: Jameson Berkow, Managing Editor of RATESDOTCA - The recent suspension of American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson, who was supposed to be heading to the Tokyo Olympic Games, for testing positive for marijuana has once again raised questions about what drugs should be banned from sports. Richardson's suspension is seen by many as an absurd case — namely, the idea of marijuana enhancing the performance in the 100-metre sprint. But as President Joe Biden noted: “The rules are the rules.” And Richardson herself has admitted being responsible for her actions. But why is a recreational drug like marijuana on the banned substances list in the first place? And should we be reviewing this list because they seem like “such ridiculous and cruel standards”?

According to StatsCan, only 21% of Canadians gave to charities last year. Are that few Canadians giving to charity in reality? And what are the best charities to give to in Canada?Guest: Kate Bahen, Managing Director, Charity Intelligence Canada-Calgary's city council is debating whether or not they should be bidding on the 2026 Winter Olympics. At this point, the vote will now go out to Calgarians after a motion to cancel an upcoming plebiscite failed to pass.Guest: Michael Heine, Director, International Centre for Olympic Studies, Western University-Scott is joined by Bubba O'Neil of CHCH to talk sports, including pitchers possibly using outside methods to improve their pitching and whether or not star players can just decide not to play a game for a "rest day".Guest: Bubba O'Neil, CHCH sports and weather anchor

A new study from the Business Development Bank of Canada says that there is a huge shortage of skilled trade workers to fill available positions at companies across the country.Guest: Ken Coates, Canada Research Chair in Regional Innovation at the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Saskatchewan -If the Olympics are going to come back to Canada, how much will it cost Canadian taxpayers? Are we prepared to pay the price?Guest: Michael Heine, Director, International Centre for Olympic Studies, Western University-According to a survey conducted by Ipsos for Global News, 55% of Canadian parents say extracurricular activities will put a strain on family finances this year. Over the last school year, the average family spent about $1,160 on extracurricular activities for kids, according to the poll.

Although Russia is banned by the International Olympic Committee, it's athletes are not. Something seems to have changed within the IOC because this kind of decision would have never happened before. The question does still remain, why would Russia do something like this on such a large scale for an athletics competition? Are the Olympics just about sport? Guest: Bob Barney, Founder of the International Centre for Olympic Studies at Western University-Though it's pretty much common knowledge that the IOC has banned Russia but when it was first discovered that Russia had a large scale doping program for its Olympic athletes, athletes like Jesse Lumsden were outraged and rightly so. Scott recounts his interview with Lumsden and just how much hard work Lumsden has to put in for the smallest of gains.- The Auditor General's Report has been released and it's nothing short of crazy when you hear about the things that the government has been spending your taxes on. 1 in every 6 buildings owned by the government of Ontario is empty, SCUBA gear, car washes and raccoon traps are among the weirdest and most unnecessary things that our government has spent our money on. Could there be a legitimate reason why taxpayer's money was spent on raccoon traps? Guest: Alan Carter, Global News Anchor-Doesn't TV do such a good job at showing what it's like to be a homicide detective out on a case? No, it doesn't so then how is a real life homicide case handled? What are the steps that need to be taken and can you really get a murderer's DNA from a drop of blood in 20 minutes? Guest: Rick Arnold, Retired Hamilton Police Department Homicide Detective -The Blue Jays are reportedly on sale right now after it slipped out during an interview a few days ago. If this is true, who will buy the Blue Jays? Scott caught up with Bubba O'Neil to talk about what his thoughts are on the idea of the Blue Jays being sold. Do you think that Rogers should sell the Blue Jays or keep them? Guest: Bubba O'Neil, Sports Anchor at CHCH

We have lost many legends from the musical world but unfortunately, the sports world has now lost a legend of their own. Roy Halladay, one of the best Blue Jays' pitchers, passed away today when his plane crashed in Florida. His focus while on the mound was unmatched as was his skill but even though he wasn't a very talkative person to the media or even his teammates; he'll be remembered by Jays and Phillies fans forever. Do you think Roy Halladay is the best Blue Jays pitcher ever? Guest: Ken Fidlin, Sports Writer at the Toronto Sun-We're entering the fourth week of the OPSEU strike that affects Ontario colleges across the province as well as all of the students who attend them. Over a half million students are out of class and seem to be used almost like hostages because they are affected the most by this strike. This is one of the biggest things that frustrate Scott about this strike. Do you think that both parties are being immature at this point?-The 2018 Winter Olympic Games will be taking place just 40 kilometers from the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. If Kim Jong Un wanted to make an incredibly dumb statement, the Olympic Games that take place in pretty much his backyard would be an obvious place to do it. If he were to have something drastic be done there, the world would almost immediately wipe North Korea off the face of the Earth. Do you think anything is going to happen at the 2018 Olympic Games in South Korea? Guest: Michael Heine, Head of the International Centre of Olympic Studies at Western University

Several Canadian newspaper publishers are asking the federal government for a grant to help fund print media, which has been facing increasing challenges as most people now opt to consume their news online.Guest: Paul Berton, editor-in-chief of The Hamilton Spectator-Calgary is bidding to host the 2026 Winter Olympics. They already have the facilities, having hosted already in 1988, but renovations and updates to existing facilities would require at least $2.4 billion in funding. Is it worth it?Guest: Michael Heine, Director of the International Centre for Olympic Studies at Western University
