Topic 1: Do you have confidence in the Trudeau government?

It’s been a tumultuous week for the Liberals. On Friday, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said Parliament should reconvene just after the NDP vowed to vote down Liberal government. On the same day, Justin Trudeau announced a cabinet shuffle with eight new faces joining cabinet. This chain of events was set in motion after Chrystia Freeland resigned from cabinet in dramatic fashion last Monday. A total of 21 Liberal MPs have publicly urged the Prime Minister to resign. And on Saturday, over 50 Liberal MPs from the Ontario caucus met and collectively decided that Justin Trudeau needs to step down as party leader. Those calls have not been answered. Our question: Do you have confidence in the Trudeau government? Where do we go from here?

EPISODE 3 - The Fallout

Fire doesn’t discriminate. Its damage runs much deeper than places and things. In this episode of World On Fire, we learn about the toll fire takes on our mental and physical health, and the imprint it leaves on our communities. We’ll head to a First Nation in B.C. where members refused to evacuate when fire threatened their homes. Then we’ll go to Fort McMurray, Alberta, where children are dealing with PTSD — even some who moved there after the fires.

Malcolm Gladwell returns to The Tipping Point – this time, from a darker side

When Malcolm Gladwell released his debut book The Tipping Point in 2000, only three people showed up to his first publicity event. But it didn’t take long for the Canadian journalist’s exploration of social epidemics and their impacts to catch fire... and soon, reach its own tipping point in the zeitgeist. Nearly 25 years later, Gladwell has returned to his seminal work – this time, from a darker perspective. At a recent on-stage event hosted by the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, Chattopadhyay spoke with Gladwell about his latest book Revenge of the Tipping Point, in which he warns that the same tools we have used to make positive social changes can also be used to thwart them.
