| 6/24/26 | ![]() Episode 1500 -- Welcome to The Summer of 2026 | Today is a big deal for The Bridge. First, it's the 1500th episode of our program/podcast, and second, it's our last show before we begin our summer hiatus. Content-wise, we lead with a special AI report that focuses on the things where AI still can't replace us, the qualities that only we as humans can offer. That and a lot more on our Wednesday End Bits special. | — | ||||||
| 6/23/26 | ![]() Moore Butts - When Is The Right Time For A Leading Politician To Retire? | It's a very difficult decision to make whether you are a professional athlete or a practising politician. When to retire. But the time comes for everyone, so how do you decide the time has come for you? That's one of the main questions for James Moore and Gerald Butts during their latest "conversation" right here on The Bridge. | — | ||||||
| 6/22/26 | ![]() Will The Iran War Ever Be Over? | Mondays with Dr. Janice Stein are always a learning experience, and it sure has been since the end of February, with the war in Iran. And in spite of alleged "peace deals," we're still wondering if the conflict will ever end. It's complicated and that's why Dr. Stein is with us again this week. Also, because it's her last episode before the summer break, we'll touch on what to expect over the holidays. | — | ||||||
| 6/19/26 | ![]() Good Talk: Canada Wins - Canada Wins! | Sometimes sport can be such a nice distraction. Like last night. Canada's first-ever win in World Cup Soccer. Nice distraction for the PM, who was in attendance, after what some felt was a bended-knee performance for Donald Trump at the G7 in France. What was that all about? Chantal and Bruce are here. | — | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | ![]() Your Turn - June's Ask Me Anything | The final AMA before the summer break brings lots of new questions from our listeners about the podcast, journalism, politics, and me. | — | ||||||
| 6/17/26 | ![]() A Wednesday Special Encore ... with the BBC's Lyse Doucet | Encore Episode. She's the BBC's Chief International Correspondent, a great storyteller and a proud Canadian.

| 6/16/26 | ![]() Reporter's Notebook -- Should AI-Created Characters Be Allowed in Canadian Political Ads? | What's with the Conservatives using AI-created Canadians in their latest ad campaign? Plus, in this final Raj-Russo Conversation before the summer break, Althia and Rob suggest what each of the main parties needs to do over the holidays. | — | ||||||
| 6/15/26 | ![]() The US-Iran Deal - What Was Really Accomplished? | A deal is a deal, but what kind of deal was this? Did Donald Trump accomplish anything in his nearly four-month war with Iran? Dr. Janice Stein is here for her regular Monday conversation. Also, a political resignation in Britain is considered a warning not just for that country but for all NATO countries -- it's time to prepare for a confrontation with Russia. | — | ||||||

| 5/26/26 | ![]() Moore-Butts: Is This An Audition For The Hockey Night Panel? | To be clear, both James Moore and Gerald Butts are die-hard hockey fans - James for the Canucks, Gerry for the Habs.

Don't worry, we do move to more traditional Moore-Butts territory -- the politics behind Alberta's referendum mess. | — | ||||||
| 5/25/26 | ![]() How Trump Lost His War And Is Pretending He Won | Donald Trump is not a good liar. Everyone knows when he lies, and it's not a good look. These days, he's claiming a huge victory in Iran, and as the two sides stumble toward a peace deal, it's clear that victory is not a word any casual observer would use. It's a Monday on The Bridge, and Dr. Janice Stein is here to give us her take on what is really happening. | — | ||||||
| 5/22/26 | ![]() Good Talk Alberta - So Much For A Clear Question Leading To A Clear Decision | As weeks go by, this couldn't have been worse for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith It's one thing to get in a fight with Ottawa, even a neighbouring Premier, but your own party? Your own cabinet? Or both? Over a referendum. That's just one of the topics up for discussion with Chantel Hebert and Bruce Anderson. Also on tap, Breaking News - Donald Trump still doesn't like Canada. | — | ||||||
| 5/21/26 | ![]() Your Turn -- Your Superstition | After months of heavy-duty Your Turns, time for something a little lighter this week.
