The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge Manscorp Media Services

"Can you name a teacher who had the greatest impact on your life?" From across the country you wrote in, enough to fill two Thursdays of Your Turn. Plus today, as every Thursday, the Random Ranter and his take for this week on the future of local news.

An encore of Professor Katharine Hayhoe is a Canadian atmospheric scientist living in Texas who is one of North America's leading academics talking about climate change. Plus a new answer on the old question of why do journalists only cover bad news -- you're the answer!

This is publication day for Paul Wells and his new book (or is it an essay?) "Justin Trudeau - On The Ropes". The well-known national columnist takes a hard look at the man who has been part of the Canadian landscape as a political leader for a dozen years now.

It's crunch time for Israel and Hamas. This could be the week that a ceasefire is reached in the bloody war between both sides in the Gaza conflict. Dr Janice Stein is with us again for her regular Monday discussion about the Middle East and the Ukraine-Russia conflict. 

A Liberal MP says she's had enough. After nine years as an MP Pam Damoff says she won't run again because she simply doesn't feel safe anymore.

From across the country, you've told us in passionate and emotional ways about the one teacher who so impacted your life. There have been so many letters we'll have enough for next week's Your Turn as well!  Plus, the Random Ranter on ...you guessed it, teachers!
