16 NOV. 2024 · This week on NOW and NEXT:
First, a passion project.
I'm producing a benefit concert for St. Clare Inn - transitional housing for homeless women in Toronto who have mental heath challenges.
The performance dates are Dec. 20 and 21. Three shows. It's music I wrote for a youth choir over a fifteen year period.
Buy tickets or make a donation. http://www.stclareinn.com/events/ Help us make room at the Inn this Christmas.
ALSO this week...
Retired RCAF Major General Scott Clancy weighs in on Trump's next term in the White House.
A Trump Presidency means:
- NORAD is at risk.
- A potential quick end to the war in Ukraine and that may well mean the end of Ukraine.
- Putin has no reason to negotiate a peace. He has no reason to think he's losing.
- The world is a more dangerous place.

6 NOV. 2024 · The NOW and NEXT C.A.S.T. (our Comms and Strategy Team), weighs in on the historic election win by Donald Trump.
The Democrats were too busy trying to "connect" the WRONG dots for voters while Trump played to the concerns that resonated with more than 70 million American voters.
Get ready for the MAGA CARTA, (Project 2025). The election result not only gives Trump a strong mandate, it gives the MAGA movement permission to do what it wants.

CBC President and CEO pours gasoline on the fiery debate over Conservative calls to defund the Corps
25 OCT. 2024 · This week on NOW and NEXT:
Catherine Tait makes a scorched Earth retreat from her third and final appearance before the parliamentary Heritage Committee in Ottawa. The outgoing CBC President and CEO accused the committee, (mostly the Conservatives at the table), of attempting to "villify" her and the CBC.
Our NOW and NEXT C.A.S.T., (Comms And Strategy Team), says Tait not only failer herself with that performance, she failed the CBC and Canadians.
- We also weigh in on Robert Fife's reporting in the Globe and Mail this week, suggesting high level government officials "leaked" intelligence information about India to the Washington Post, just before the RCMP said there is evidence Indian government agents "have been linked to https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-india-canada-diplomatic-dispute-khalistan-background-travel-concerns/."
- We may still be in recovery mode after COVID, but did we learn anything?
- And Pierre Poilevre's getting top marks from the C.A.S.T. for his approach to provincial disability support programs. (Anti-poverty advocates even admit the Conservative Leader's on the right track!)

18 OCT. 2024 · This week on NOW and NEXT:
Great to have Barb DiGuilio and Kym Geddes return to the N&N podcast!
- Barb and Kym riff on the state of NEW media post secondary education programs. Are there any jobs for grads coming out of the broadcast and journalism streams? You might be surprised.
- Taylor Swift descends on Toronto in a few weeks. She's not just a force of nature in the entertainment and music industry, her presence has forced a major infrastructure upgrade in downtown Toronto!
- META has fired a numnber of employees, some making healthy six-figure salaries, because they misused $20 or $25 food coupons.
- Will the cult of Justin Trudeau lead to an extinction event for federal Liberals in the soon-to-come national general election?
- Catholic school board trustees offer a mea culpa after spending $145k on a trip to Italy to buy religious art for a new school. Is saying sorry "enough" or should the "penance" be tougher?
- And heading into the final days of the US Presidential campaign, Harris goes head to head at FOX while Trump takes the opportunity to tell profane jokes at a major Catholic charity event in New York City.

11 OCT. 2024 · This week on NOW and NEXT:
We make the final turn in the Race for the White House and VP Kamala Harris does a 60 Minutes sit down on CBS but causes more of a buzz by appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper.
At least, it excited her base. At best, it added to the base on the margins. And in a race that will come down to a hand full of votes in a hand full of counties in a hand full of states - margins matter.
Justin Trudeau was on a similar media march this past week - making stops on The Late Show and a podcast sit down with Nate Erskine-Smith, (who happens to sit in the back benches of Trudeau's government).
But it's not at all clear that Trudeau gained any traction with his base. He's struggling to hold his caucus together never mind beefing up his approval rating among voters.
So, we've assembled the C.A.S.T (Comms and Strategy Team!) to pick over the pixels of attention. Is
the media still the message for Harris and Trudeau?

By accident or design I stumbled across an old mp3 file. It's a recording of the final episode of Toronto at Noon - a radio show I hosted and co-produced on 1010 AM CFRB in Toronto at - you guessed it - Noon!
That show aired fifteen years ago this week, (as we post this edition of NOW and NEXT). And it reminded me of just how energetic and connected the show, (and the statiion for that matter) was to the community and the audience.
We broadcast the finale from the Keg Steakhouse Mansion at the corner of Jarvis and Wellington Streets. The Mansion was the site of CFRB's very first broadcast studios. RB is Toronto's oldest English-language broadcaster and it all started in February, 1927. The original frequency was 1030 kHZ. It moved to 1010 in 1948 - 2 years after a young fellow named Wally Crouter joined the station.
Our Toronto at Noon audience voted and decided we'd do the final show from the old mansion.
And what a show. What a line-up.
You'll hear "the regulars", including Christie Blatchford, Fred Ketchen, Rose Reisman, Jeff Marek, Rick Hodge and Robert Turner. But we also has special guests and friends to the show - Teri Hart, Blair Packham, and Bob Reid.
And we hear from the crack production team that kep the show on the air and on the road! Jeff Moss, (it was his last day at the station), Eileen Berardini, Paul Gatt and Nick Maiorano.
And all in 46 minutes, during the noon hour of Friday, October 2, 2009. It was RADIO RIGHT WHERE YOU LIVE.
Hope you enjoy it.

We are joined by (Ret) RCAF Major-General and former NORAD Director of Operations Scott Clancy and Phil Gurski, President and CEO Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting and former Strategic Analyst at C-SIS.
As we record this episode, it is the deadliest day of bombardment in Lebannon in nearly thirty years as Israel and Hezbollah trade missile fire. The heavy fire exchange comes less than a week after thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members exploded. At least 20 were killed and as many as 450 were injured. Israel's being blamed for the attack, Israel hasn't confirmed nor denied responsibility.
The regional war only seems to be escalating. What will it mean in the Middle East? What role will the U.S. and the Saudis play in resolving the crisis? And what effect could the Hamas-Israel-Hezbollah war have on the U.S. Presidential Election?
The U.N. special coordinator in Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasscharet, said in a post on X that "with the region on the brink of an imminent catastrophe, it cannot be overstated enough: there is NO military solution that will make either side safer".

It was billed as the most consequential Presidential Debate in more than a generation. Although, it's arguable, the Biden vs. Trump tilt in June might have taken top spot when you consider President Biden's free fall from grace as the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Okay, let's call it a toss up. Either way, the September 10th debate on ABC was a critical campaign point as we head towards Election Day on Novermber 5th in the United States.
By most measures, Vice President Kamala Harris won the day. As John Wright at Maru Public Opinion put it, "She was the first person who didn't whither under Trump's barrages of name calling."
To top it off, Taylor Swift posted here "endorsenment" for Harris mere minutes after the debate finished. Professor David Schultz at Hamline University in Minnesota had expected a Swift endorsement would come as an "October Surprise" but it came a month early.
More voters have registered since the debate. It's likely the Harris campaign will enjoy a sharp increase in campaign donations. But will her performance a difference among the undecided and uncommitted voters in the key swing states?
