The Tragically Hip, Donald Trump, De-Radicalization, and Underdog

The Tragically Hip Man Machine Poem tour ended in Kingston, Ontario last night with, it appears, almost all of Canada tuned in to the final performance by this iconic Canadian band, following Gord Downie's revealing that he has terminal brain cancer. Guests: Joe Warmington, Toronto Sun columnist Chris and Theo Mushumanski, two brothers who drove more than 1000 kilometers to attend the first concert of the tour in Victoria, B.C.

- Just when it seemed possible to leave Donald Trump to the side, he has another week of headlines. Not good headlines. In fact, awful headlines. Still, one of America's leading pollsters says Trump is down but not out. Guest: John Zogby of Zogby Analytics and author of We are Many, We are One: Neo-Tribes in 21st Century America - A provincial report declares Quebec's proposed Charter of Values has helped to radicalize young Muslims by making them feel left out of Quebec society. 

Meanwhile, the federal government is going to open an office for de-radicalizing of individuals like Aaron Driver.  What are the chances of success for such an office? It's been tried by other countries and without much success, particularly when governments get involved. Where do you begin with this kind of effort in order to gain any credibility with the people you're trying to de-radicalize? Is the focus going to be exclusively on radicalizing by ISIS/AQ, or will the office also focus on other individuals/groups who attempt tor radicalize? Guest: Scott Newark. Following 9/11, he was named Ontario's Special Security Advisor and authored the province's perimeter security strategy. He served as Director of Operations for the Washington, DC Investigative Project on Terrorism and served as senior policy advisor to the federal Minister for Public Safety. He's also vice chair/operations of the National Security Group.

- Next Tuesday, Toronto Sun and Sun Media investigative journalist Sue-Ann Levy's new book Underdog: Confessions of a Right-Wing Gay Jewish Muckraker, will be available on bookshelves. No one will be safe from Sue-Ann's attention. Guest:  Sue-Ann Levy
