8:30 – Canada’s trade dispute with China escalated this week with the Asian superpower refusing imports of Canadian meat. The issues began when Canada arrested Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and began proceedings to extradite her to the USA, and China still has also arrested two Canadian citizens, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. Trudeau arrived in Osaka, Japan today for the G20 summit, and while the PM has no meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Donald Trump has promised to raise the issue. To help explain how Canada should be dealing with China amid the tensions, John is joined by Jonathan Manthorpe, columnist and author of “Claws of the Panda: Beijing’s Campaign of Influence and Intimidation in Canada.”

10:00 – An Ontario family has made a human rights complaint against their daughter’s former school division, alleging their six-year-old daughter was distressed and confused by her teacher’s lessons on gender which claimed “girls are not real,” “boys are not real,” and said gender is not connected to biology. Pamela Buffone, the girl’s mother, says her daughter even asked to see a doctor because she was so confused about her identity. Buffone’s daughter has since switched schools and is doing much better, but Buffone and her husband are still pursuing their human rights complaint, saying the Ottawa-Careleton District School Board discriminated against their daughter based on her gender and gender identity. Buffone joins John now to discuss the case.
