A stolen vehicle was recently found on fire in Chatham. Residents of Chatham-Kent will once again stand on guard at the Chatham Cenotaph. The central bank lowered the interest rate for the fourth time this year, bringing it down to 3.75 percent. One person is dead and at least 49 others are sick after eating McDonald's Quarter Pounders in ten U.S. states. Chatham's Ethan Jordan recently became the first player in Wilfred Laurier's football history to reach a thousand receiving yards in a single season.

Welcome to HashTag Trending, the weekend edition. I'm your host Jim Love. I can understand if many of you get frustrated about politics. What we see for the most part is a lot of BS. Ask a politician a simple question and you'll get a lot of non-answers, talking points ways that their political opponents have it wrong. Yes, that's true even in Canadian politics. So what do we do? We can get involved and try to change the process. I've certainly done that. I've worked for every political party at one point. I've worked for the NDP - Neil Young - not the musician and Bob Rae, I've worked to support the Liberals under Stephane Dion, one of the most incredible people I've ever met, I've been a riding president of a Progressive Conservative riding which led me to meet and grown to like Joe Clarke for the authentic person he is. I know what you are thinking. What's wrong with this guy? Can't he take a side? And the clear answer is no. I can't take sides. There is only side - and that's what's best for Canadians. So I've never been a believer in party labels. I wanted to work with authentic people who wanted to make Canada a better nation and make a future for our children. And the need was never greater. Canada is in crisis. Our productivity numbers are plummeting. Regardless of what you get fed from government sources, we are not a leader in AI, or in digital government. But equally, the stuff that the opposition parties are feeding you - that's nonsense as well. The reality is if you strip away the party lines, if you talk to the smartest people in Ottawa, you'd know the truth. We are in crisis. Our future standard of living is in real jeopardy. And yet, we are an incredibly resilient people, we have so much going for us, that if we could get it together we could fulfil that quote of Wilfred Laurier - the 21st Century belongs to Canada. But what do we do? Fortunately, we have a structure in our Government where parties don't really have to matter. It's called the Senate. For my American listeners, you have a Senate as well - it's called the body of “sober second thought.” The difference in Canada - our senators are actually sober. I say that in jest, but in our Senate, and I'm not taking political sides, but credit where credit is due, our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, said he would no longer make political appointments to the Canadian Senate. He would appoint knowledgeable people and challenge them to “challenge the government's thinking.” In other words, he would try to make the Senate truly a “body of sober second thought.” A place where non-partisan citizens would join with only the best interests of the country at heart. A place where people who weren't politicians could offer their experience and expertise to the governance of our nation. There's nobody you will meet that embodies this more than my guest, Colin Deacon. Senator Deacon is a serial entrepreneur and someone who knows technology and knows how to build businesses that export to the world in a digital economy. And we're lucky to have him - both in the senate and for this interview. I met Senator Deacon at the Digital Governance Council, another group of non-partisan, business and government leaders who also have one objective - to help Canada become a leader in the digital economy. I was totally impressed by him and asked if he's sit for an interview with us. I hope you'll be as inspired by it as I was.

On this edition of the Big 5...Elias is joined Jimmy Zoubris, special advisor to the Mayor and Jonathan Kalles, Senior Consultant at McMillan Vantage, a national public affairs firm, and former advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Faced with a huge increase in shoplifting and thefts every day, grocery stores are fighting back. Some are posting photos of shoplifters at entrances. Is it OK to publicly shame shoplifters? Barely a third of Montrealers who can compost do so regularly. The city wants 60% of residents to compost by 2025. Is this another example of mismanagement at City Hall? How do we reach that goal? The effort to swap out the first French-Canadian Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, from the $5 bill has stalled. A list of hundreds was winnowed down and presented to Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland. Why do you think this plan has not moved forward yet?

Louise Bernice Halfe, whose Cree name is Sky Dancer, is married with two adult children and three grandsons. Raised on the Saddle Lake Reserve in Alberta, she attended Blue Quills Residential School before earning a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Regina. She completed two years of Nechi Training in St. Albert’s Nechi Institute: Centre of Indigenous Learning, where she has also facilitated the program. Halfe has been awarded honorary degrees from Wilfred Laurier University, the University of Saskatchewan, and Mount Royal University. As well as serving as Saskatchewan’s Poet Laureate for two years, she’s been a keynote speaker at numerous conferences. In this podcast, Halfe reads to us from her four books, Bear Bones and Feathers, Blue Marrow, The Crooked Good, and Burning In This Midnight Dream. All have received numerous accolades and awards, and will be reprinted next year by Brick Books and Kegedonce Press. A collection of selected poems, Sôhkêyihta (which means “have courage” or “be strong”), was published by Wilfred Laurier in 2018, and an eagerly awaited new collection, awâsis -- kinky and dishevelled will be released on April 1st, 2021, by Brick Books. Halfe’s poetry earned her a Lifetime Achievement Award from the League of Canadian Poets, and last year, she received the 2020 Cheryl and Henry Kloppenburg Award for Literary Excellence. The jury of the Latner Writers’ Trust Poetry Prize describe her literary impact in the following way: “Halfe’s poetics refuse the hierarchies of colonial literary critique, instead affirming the equality of the contemporary, the ancestral, and the mythological; holding a multiplicity of cosmologies and quotidian realities as relevant and urgent…” Thus, they go on, “Her work cannot be assimilated in the canon of contemporary Canadian literature; instead, it must be ingested, transforming our collective literature on a cellular level, reimagining our identities, languages, and memories as denizens of Turtle Island.”

What was it like to live in the year of 1918, in the tail ends of World War I, while a pandemic was beginning to spread all over North America, England, and other European countries?

Professor Tarah Brookfield joins us from the University of Wilfred Laurier in Waterloo, Ontario, representing both the faculty of Youth and Children as well as the faculty of History, and shares her knowledge on the history of the women's rights movement in Canada. Women did not only fight the government to get the vote. There were also disagreements between the women themselves on if they should even get the vote in the first place. That, and much more interesting politics is in this Women's Rights series with Professor Brookfield. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/may-cooper/message

In E040, Sahil Jaggi speak of his journey from immigrant to Investment Banker to sales rep to realtor who has acquired $14,000,000 in real estate. Sahil immigrated from India at the age of 18 and went to university at Wilfred Laurier university here in Ontario. Sahil started working as an investment banker in New York City but realized that he did not want that lifestyle and came back to Canada. He proceeded to buy his first property at the age of 24 and continued to acquire more and more and occasionally sell properties to continue to grow. I encountered Sahil because of an article from Toronto Life Magazine that was sent to me earlier this year. The article was talking about how an immigrant has come to our country and acquired 10 properties. Needless to say he has been productive since then since he is now at 14 properties and 21 doors. He primarily invests in bungalow properties that he can acquire between $600,000 and $800,000 in various neighbourhoods of Toronto, Etobicoke and Scarborough.

Wilfred Laurier responded to Jordan Peterson and it was particularly ignorant. They claimed that Peterson should be suing Lindsey Shepherd because she published the recording of the incident. However this is wrong, Shepherd did not publish the recording, it was the National Post and Global news. The statement was Laurier's defense against defamation but they made a huge error in being factually incorrect.Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate)

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in town today for a town hall at McMaster University. How important is it that he does these townhalls? Guest - Simon Kiss. Professor Journalism/Leadership, Wilfred Laurier

In November 2017, Wilfred Laurier University teaching assistant Lindsay Shepherd was called to a disciplinary meeting by two professors (Nathan Rambukkana and Herbert Pimlott) and one administrator (Adria Joel) to discuss her screening of a video clip from TVO's The Agenda with Steve Paikin during a class she was conducting. Shepherd taped the proceedings (http://bit.ly/2mMPvok) and released them, causing a national and international firestorm of outrage over the manner in which she was treated. The video clip featured me discussing the provisions of Canada's compelled speech law, Bill C16, with Professor Nicholas Matte of the Mark S Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies at the University of Toronto. During the proceedings, Shepherd was accused of breaking the law, both federal (Bill C16) and provincial, violating Wilfred Laurier's standards of conduct, and of being actively transphobic. Rambukkana compared me directly to Hitler (and Milo Yiannopoulos, to be fair), failing to recognize that what I predicted would happen in the aftermath of Bill C16 (see http://bit.ly/2AZqj4B) was exactly what was undertaken by the tripartite disciplinary panel he headed. Twenty of Rambukkana's colleagues signed a letter of support for his actions (http://bit.ly/2DiedjN), despite the almost universal condemnation. In addition, great efforts were made by the neo-Marxist/postmodernist/critical theory ideologues to cast Shepherd as the perpetrator, as noted in Quillette (http://bit.ly/2l3Np0h), and the Wilfred Laurier Faculty Association president wrote this missive (http://bit.ly/2C9Ulm1) decrying "the violent speech and actions that have, unfortunately, become a daily occurrence on our campuses" despite there being no evidence whatsoever for such violence. On December 18, Dr. Deborah MacLatchy, President and Vice-Chancellor of Wilfrid Laurier University, released a statement on the independent fact-finder's report on the Lindsay Shepherd affair, exonerating her completely, stating that the disciplinary meeting should have never occurred and indicating even that the claim of student complaint was essentially fabricated (although Dr. MacLatchy has released a statement of clarification about that: http://bit.ly/2C8xWWp). Dr. David Haskell, Associate Professor, Digital Media and Journalism / Religion and Culture and Dr. William McNally, Associate Professor of Finance at the School of Business and Economics (both of Wilfred Laurier) joined me for this discussion (December 19), where we "deconstructed" Dr. MacLatchy's response. They are not alone at WLU, by the way, in their opposition to the ideological zealotry that has possessed their campus, and most others. Hopefully, in 2018, more professors will come to their senses and join them. Why should you care? Because this is, in truth, the state of the modern university -- and what happens there will happen everywhere five years later.

A few days ago, Canadian author and English professor Ira Wells published an essay expressing concern about popular Canadian psychology professor and social critic Jordan B. Peterson. The essay was written in the wake of an incident at Canadian university Wilfred Laurier, where a teaching assistant was reprimanded for playing a short clip of a televised Peterson debate over the compelled use of gender pronouns. (I analysed the incident in Quillette last week.) Regrettably, Wells’s essay is littered with inaccuracies and casual insults, accompanied by a moralistic undertone that is sure to turn off Peterson’s supporters, and perhaps even neutral observers. Nevertheless, I think he succeeds in condensing many of the common criticisms of Peterson, which makes the essay worth responding to as the foundation for a genuine debate of these issues. I suggest reading it if you haven’t already done so. Wells’s main criticisms, as I understand them, are as follows: Peterson is celebrated in the news media as a champion of free speech and liberal, democratic values, while in fact promoting a far-right … The post In Defence of Jordan B. Peterson appeared first on Quillette.

CNN is under fire after it run a piece on the Reddit user who made the wrestling, anti-CNN gif that was tweeted by the president. CNN says they're “not reporting the name of the user because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology”. This was followed with “CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change”. Guest - Simon Kiss. Professor Journalism/Leadership, Wilfred Laurier
