Blaming the media is a common tactic when you feel your competition is getting better coverage than you are. Is that why some Conservatives are saying Mark Carney is getting a free pass from the media in his campaign for the Liberal leadership? Is it true or are Conservatives just showing they are nervous about the gains being made against them? Chantal Hebert and Rob Russo are here to tackle that and a lot more.

The question is simple, "if you were writing to an American friend, what would you say about the current situation between our two countries?" That was what we asked this week and again the answers came flooding in. You feel strongly about this and so does the Random Ranter who goes up against Donald Trump again this week.

While Canada is being beaten up, and its sovereignty questioned, both by Donald Trump, what are our friends and allies saying? Anything? Why the silence? And what does it say about our situation that Trump clearly likes Russia more than Canada? This, plus how worried are the Conservatives as the Liberals seem to get back in the political game? Chantal Hebert and Rob Russo are here for this encore episode of Good Talk.

The Moore Butts combo is back with a big question -- how do you cut government waste and does Elon Musk have the answer? James Moore, the former Conservative cabinet minister. Gerald Butts, the former Liberal top strategist, get back together on their long running series here on The Bridge to tackle this question.

Today an encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on February 6th. Donald Trump's actions, proposed tariffs and sovereignty threats have many Canadians very upset. They're writing about the issue and what actions they'll personally do about it. That's the focus of this week's Your Turn and your letters aren't shy. Neither is the Random Ranter on much the same issue.

There seems to be at least one poll a day these days, and you have strong feelings about the value of that! This week's Your Turn is all about your opinions of polls and once again we have heard from across the country on that issue. Plus the Random Ranter is here for his weekly rant -- this week his latest on the Donald Trump situation. He hasn't mellowed!

Today an encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on February 10th. Donald Trump's National Security Adviser says he doesn't "think" his country has plans to invade Canada. Really? That and the President's own continuing comments about a 51st state have Canadian officials puzzled about what's next in the back and forth between the two countries. Dr Janice Stein of the Munk School at the University of Toronto is here for her regular weekly comments on that plus the latest between Russia and Ukraine.

These are crazy times to be running campaigns either for party leadership, a provincial campaign or prepping for a national campaign. It's how the Trump factor has changed everything, even things that have nothing really to do with him. That's the topic for SMT this week and both Fred DeLorey and Bruce Anderson have thoughts on this. Also, a feature interview with Jack Wang on his new WW2 novel, The Riveter.
