THE EARLY LIFE OF XI ZHONGXUN Colleague Joseph Torigian. Joseph Torigian introduces the early life of Xi Zhongxun, father of Xi Jinping. Born in 1913 in poverty-stricken Shaanxi province, Xi grew up surrounded by famine and warlord violence. Torigian recounts a pivotal incident where a teenage Xi attempted to poison a school administrator during a revolutionary purge. While imprisoned for this act, he formally joined the Communist Party, motivated less by Marxist theory than by a romanticized view of revolution found in novels. NUMBER 9

Three pieces of correspondence sent to TGCTS form the basis of Episode 60, which opens with the story of Marty's surprise meeting in a drug store with a former NDP cabinet minister. You'll then hear a letter sent to Premier Wab Kinew and Justice Minister Matt Wiebe by an aggrieved NDP supporter. He had asked for help with an arbitrary punishment imposed by Manitoba Public Insurance on his driving record despite a court dismissing the ticket- and got no response from Kinew or Wiebe."This record has already resulted in my being denied employment. I am a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record who is simply trying to earn a living."14.35 Part 2- A follower of our independent reporting sent a note reflecting on the coverage we have provided this past year. He touched on the federal election campaign, "the rise in unchecked anti-semitism in our city" and "the Province trying to push through a safe injection site that would be so destabilizing to the community it is established in."21.35 - Listen to an op-ed submitted to local media outlets by Portage La Prairie PC MLA Jeff Bereza, after he took part in all four of the public meetings held in December about a proposed Safe Consumption Site for 366 Henry Avenue in the North Logan neighbourhood. Noting how the announcement of the new location was made after the Legislature had wrapped up the fall session- meaning there could be no debate about the SCS in the House, Bereza noted: "Only one thing is abundantly clear following these four sessions: there is no plan."As the Critic of Homelessness, Housing, and Addictions, he itemized the unanswered questions from stakeholders, and the illogical claims from Minister Bernadette Smith and site proponents about staffing and policing for the drug user site. Bereza concluded that "The accusation that push-back and questions from neighbours and businesses is nothing more than nimby-ism is unfair and insulting."You can read the entire op-ed in the post for Episode 60 at ActionLine.ca.******MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OUR LISTENERS AND SUPPORTERS!

Kevin McGran of The Toronto Star joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to break down the Maple Leafs' decision to fire assistant coach Marc Savard — and the bigger question: will it actually fix anything? With Toronto sitting at an ugly 12-for-90 on the power play, the conversation zeroes in on just how damaging the Leafs' PP has been, how much better this team could be with even league-average results, and what's been missing from the group all season long.McGran also weighs in on William Nylander's recent bout with confidence, noting how uncharacteristically dejected the usually calm and cool winger looked following the loss in Dallas. The boys discuss Craig Berube's future behind the bench, before Kevin delivers a sobering prediction for the rest of the season — he doesn't believe the Leafs will snap out of it, and thinks they'll ultimately miss the playoffs.To wrap things up, Kevin promotes his new book Auston Matthews: A Life in Hockey, which sparks a conversation about Matthews' struggles this season and McGran's thoughts on what might be going on with the Leafs' superstar.#LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake

The boys share their thoughts on what went wrong, why the move was made, and whether it can spark any sort of turnaround.They also preview Toronto's matinee matchup on home ice against the Pittsburgh Penguins — the Leafs' final game before a three-day holiday break. Toronto enters on a three-game skid, while Pittsburgh has dropped eight of its last nine, setting the stage for a desperate showdown at Scotiabank Arena.Plus, Kevin McGran of The Toronto Star stops by to discuss his new book, Auston Matthews: A Life in Hockey, and weigh in on the very latest surrounding the Maple Leafs.#LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake
Nick Alberga & Zack Phillips break down a brutal weekend for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who dropped both games of their back-to-back — a 5-3 loss in Nashville followed by a 5-1 defeat in Dallas. It completes a disastrous 0-3-0 road trip and raises serious questions about where this team is headed. Is this the end of the line for Craig Berube behind the bench? Could a coaching change be imminent? To help navigate the noise and separate fact from speculation, NHL insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period joins the show to weigh in on Berube's future, the Leafs' options, and what could come next for Toronto.#LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake
NHL Insider David Pagnotta joined Nick Alberga & Zack Phillips to break down the growing tension in Toronto. The boys discuss whether a coaching change is imminent, what Pagnotta expects the Maple Leafs to do if things don't improve, and what Pete DeBoer could be looking for as he sizes up his next opportunity behind an NHL bench.Pagnotta also dives into Brad Treliving's aggressive mindset on the trade market, whether the Leafs could revisit trade conversations involving Morgan Rielly, and the bigger question hanging over it all — just how secure is Treliving's job if this season continues to go sideways?#LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake

The Druze National Guard and Internal Strife in Southern Syria: Colleagues Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio report that instability is growing in Syria's Druze-majority Suwayda province, where a newly formed "National Guard" militia has begun arresting and killing political opponents; the militia is spiritually guided by Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, who has consolidated power by sidelining other Druze leaders who were open to reconciliation with the Assad regime, with Turkey expressing support for the anti-Assad Druze factions against both the Syrian government and Kurdish forces, while recent violence suggests a hardening of anti-regime sentiment. 1914 SYRIA
