We spoke to writer Listen Chen about their recent article for The Breach examining how the current panic about alleged interference by China in Canadian elections is a troubling omen of a new Cold War.  We talk about the roots of the panic, how it puts ordinary members of the Chinese diaspora community at risk, and how it erases the diversity of viewpoints within that community.Read Listen's article: https://breachmedia.ca/canadas-china-panic-is-an-omen-of-dangerous-cold-war-politics/Music credit: "Fluidity," by tobylane.Support The Maple by subscribing to our daily newsletter for as little as $7 per month.

Hello! Sorry about the delay, we had a little technical difficulty this week. We have three segments for you. First, Scott sits down with Neal to discuss his Mario Kart 8 review that shook the world. Neal explains why Mario Kart 8 is beautiful and fun, but perhaps not all that great if you plan to play alone. Comment below to leave him disparaging remarks! After that, Daan is back with another game show, this focused on sports games. Addison and Scott trained for weeks, and are now prepared to duke it out for the world championship title. Who gets the W? Listen and see! Lastly, we have a bonus segment all about Amazing Spider-Man 2 with Neal and Zach. How did the boys like the webhead's latest movie outing? Well let's just say it'll be a lot less controversial than Mario Kart 8. Be sure to send your listener mail to Connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com. We haven't done a mail segment in a while, so why not send us some mail now and we'll do one soon? Deal? Deal. See you next week!

人の多い住宅地やアパート・マンションなどでは、騒音のトラブルをたびたび耳にします。この手の近所迷惑は小さな不満が大きなトラブルに発展することもよくあります。月並みな言葉ですが、お互いを思いやる気持ちが大切ですね。 会話では夜遅くまで騒がしい若者にたまりかねた近所の女性が、若者に小言を言いに行きます。どうやら丸く収まりそうにない予感のする場面ですが、果たして結末は・・・？ 今回お借りした素材 写真：Open ClipArt Library Download MP3 （20:54　12.1MB　初級～中級）** Script *** (Slow speed) 01:25-04:35 (Natural speed) 16:30-18:40 Noisy Neighbours W: (To herself) There he goes again! It's almost 11:30 at night and that music is still blaring! I should go give him a piece of my mind! W: (Goes next door and knocks) Hi. Excuse me. Look, I don't mean to be a pain, but I have to be up really early tomorrow. If you could just turn your music down a bit, then I'd be really grateful. M: Yeah, sure. Whatever. (closes door and music continues to play) W: (To herself) He STILL hasn't turned that music down! W: (Goes next door again and knocks) Look young man, if you don't turn that music down I'll have to do something about it. M: What? I've already turned it down once. W: You most certainly have not. M: What? Lady, you're ruining the mood, man. W: Look, I have to be up really early and I can't go to sleep when that noise you call "music" is keeping the whole neighbourhood up! M: Oh, and me waking up to the sound of a cat being strangled every morning is any better? W: You cheeky sod! I'll have you know: I'm a professional singer! M: Not at 5:30 in the morning, you're not! W: How dare you talk to me like that! Back in my day, I'd slap you round the ear! M: Look lady, get with the program. It's the 21st century! I can do what I want, OK? Buy some earplugs or something. Not my problem. W: I think you should watch your tone young man. I'll be talking to your mother. M: Excuse me? W: You heard me. You don't think I know who she is? And if she knew what you did at those house parties you boys have every Friday night, I'm sure she'd have a lot to say! M: Woooah. OK, OK. Look, I'm sorry, OK? We'll try and keep the noise down. W: Listen, I don't mind it on the weekends. I used to be young, too. I know what it's like to be 21, and I'd probably done more than you could even imagine by your age. But I can't stay up all night and all day any more. I need some sleep! M: OK, I'm really sorry. If you ever fancy coming round to party, you're more than welcome. You're actually a pretty cool old broad. W: Ha! Thanks. And I'll try and sing a little quieter in the mornings, OK? M: No worries. Sorry to have bothered you. Good night! (Written by Ben Razey)
