Pipelines, Trump, Sexual Harassment in emergency first responders organizations, and the Tragically Hip

If on the night of November 8, Donald Trump is handed the key to the White House and Oval Office by American voters, what is the potential impact on Canada and Canadians? In his Republican Convention nominee for POTUS acceptance speech Thursday, Trump slammed NAFTA as the "absolute worst" trade deal the U.S. has "ever" agreed to. He made it abundantly clear a Trump administration will be all about America First. That includes trade with Canada, as well as the fact the U.S. rapidly becoming a major oil exporter.   Guest: Kenneth P. Green, senior director of Natural Resource Studies at the Fraser Institute and co-author of a Fraser Inst. report which argues pipeline construction must be expedited in Canada's best economic interest - Gloria Allred won a very public lawsuit against Donald Trump in 2012 and is a delegate to the Democratic Convention for Hillary Clinton. In 2012, Ms. Allred represented Jenna Talackova who was kicked out of the Miss Universe/Miss Canada beauty pageant, after officials learned she had been born with a penis. The pageant had a rule at the time requiring contestants to be "naturally born female." A high profile public battle between Gloria Allred and Donald Trump saw transgendered Jenna Talackova reinstated, but not until after arguments involving Mr. Trump's penis entered the public arena. Guest:  Gloria Allred, head of the leading women's rights private law firm in the U.S. and is a Hillary Clinton delegate at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia -

Until now, the women who have come forward from male-dominated first responder organizations and charged their male colleagues with sexual harassment, sexual assault, bullying and other abuse have been women RCMP officers and women civilian employees of the RCMP.

Now female firefighters are coming forward with the same criminal complaints. Two female firefighters and an RCMP civilian employee speak to their experiences being abused and harassed by male colleagues. Guests: Jamie Wilson, Firefighter in Toronto Liane Tessier, Firefighter in Halifax
