Canadian and American values, the upcoming POTUS debate, moving expenses, and the mayor of Trent Hills going to Germany for cancer treatment

What are "Canadian values?" 

Justin Trudeau directly referenced "Canadian values" when he spoke about an extradition treaty with China this week. Kellie Leitch is causing much continued response for announcing that if she becomes prime minister, she will implement a national policy to establish whether immigrants support or oppose "Canadian values."  Guest: Playback of interview with Kellie Leitch from last Sunday - And what of American values?  Charlotte, North Carolina this week became the latest U.S. city where protests and rioting took place over the police shooting of an African American man. Last year, scenes in Baltimore caused comparisons to the U.S. in 1968.

At that time, we spoke with James Hamelin, an African American Baltimore resident and small business owner in the area of Baltimore where most of the violence occurred. He makes the case - "if you change the environment, you change the people."   Guest:  James Hamelin, Baltimore resident and small business owner - On Monday, some estimates are that 111 million Americans may tune into the first of three broadcast 90 minute POTUS debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Passions are high and the polls suggest a very tight race, with Donald Trump now having picked up the support of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, as well as a Superpac of lifelong Democrats urging Americans vote for Donald Trump. Meanwhile, lifelong Republicans are urging Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton. Guest: Toby Condliffe, Democrat living in Canada and former super delegate during the 2008 Democratic Convention. He's supporting Hillary Clinton and was a Bernie Sanders supporter - It’s predicted that there will be a massive tune-in to the Clinton vs Trump POTUS debate on Monday evening - maybe as many as 111 million viewers. What platforms will be used and in today's world of traditional and social media how do Trump and Clinton prep compared to 1980, when 80 million watched Reagan and Carter almost exclusively on television and listened on radio?  

Guest: Paul Levinson, Professor of Communications and Media Studies at Fordham University in NYC and author of McLuhan in an Age of Social Media - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and senior advisors Gerald Butts and Katie Telford were arguably shamed into returning a portion of the moving expenses they claimed, issuing a statement saying they are returning the money "in the interests of living the government's and Team Trudeau's values of transparency and accountability."  Now, two more Liberal cabmin staffers have announced they too are returning a combined $55.000 of expense monies claimed for moving.      Guests: Michelle Simson, Catherine Swift, and Linda Leatherdale

- Trent Hills Mayor Hector MacMillan is preparing to head for Germany for pancreatic cancer surgery, which the Mayor tells us involves the IRE Nanoknife surgery unavailable to him in Ontario. He says the province is refusing to fund $300,000 cost for such a surgery in Kentucky. The surgery in Germany will cost $32,000.

Guest: Hector MacMillan, Michelle Simson, Catherine Swift, and Linda Leatherdale - Saba Ahmed, president of the Republican Muslim Coalition, will be voting for Donald Trump. She attended the Republican Convention and met with Donald Trump. 7 to 11% of U.S. Muslims are expected to vote for Trump, according to national polling. Guest: Saba Ahmed
