mailbag

After Buffalo, after Texas and after new gun laws in Canada, it's time for your turn and you certainly deliver.  Lots of your letters this week with your thoughts, ideas and comments.

A real cross-section of your thoughts on the topics of the day.  Plus, if Maradona's old jersey can sell for more than ten million dollars, think of the possibilities.

While the focus through the Ukraine war has been on Russia's invasion, it's clear now that the Ukraine forces are now starting not to just defend, but also to move into Russia with attacks of their own.  Brian Stewart is with us again today with his take on this development.  Also some of your reactions to the Moore-Butts conversation from earlier this week.

We open up the mailbag to answer your questions! Safety experts Kirsi Henry, Jack Minacs, Pam Patry and Lori Shepherd discuss returning to the office, tips on becoming an HSR, seasonal workers and more.

Lots of reaction to Bob Rae's appearance on The Bridge this week -- most felt Canada's Ambassador to the UN was bang on about negotiating with a war criminal, but not everyone. Also this week, your thoughts on the behaviour of MP's in the House of Commons, Covid, and more.

Negotiate or force an unconditional surrender? Some of your views in the weekly mailbag are different when it comes to how to end the situation in Ukraine. And for the first week in two years, no questions or comments about Covid!

We spent the first part of the show bouncing around from one topic to another covering allergies, Gold drafting, playoff implications, and draft lottery ping pong ball conspiracies. The second half is devoted entirely to mailbag questions (with an early sidetrack  to Creed and early 2000s hard rock). 

The mailbag was full again this week with your thoughts mainly on Ukraine.  Some of what you had to say, highlights this week's episode.

Lots of questions and comments about the Ukraine war including a unique one about people power and a unique walk INTO Russia.  Never happen?  Perhaps not, but intriguing to think about.

Welcome back, Listeners. On the final episode of season 1, Dr. Oppenheimer answers your questions sent to us via email and Instagram.  Keep your eyes and ears tuned to this space for Season 2 with Dr. Oppenheimer, coming soon!

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has juggled today's normal lineup around.  Dr Janice Stein, internationally recognized U of T professor of conflict management, joins me after a night of attacks in Ukraine.   Also, some of your best letters in our Mail Bag for the past week, all relate to the trucker's story. 

A year from now, fully vaxed and with the pandemic hopefully a distant memory, will you still be wearing a mask?  If so you might want to make sure it's a real one. And it's the Thursday mailbag edition with a good selection of your comments, ideas and questions.   

Today's program begins with an admission of mine about how I made a fool of myself at last night's Leaf's game. But then, your letter, thoughts, comments and ideas on a variety of subjects from these days that never end.

Lots of mail to themansbridgepodcast@gmail.com about everything on your mind.

Jack Eichel was finally traded (to the Vegas Golden Knights), which more than fulfills our weekly Buffalo Sabres check-in requirement. We talk about the months-long saga and trade, discuss a few other notable aspects in the still early '21-22 NHL season, and spend the last half answering your questions! Since last week's episode was cut short, we added a little more to this one. Enjoy!
