Overview with Evan Solomon

In 2016, Soleiman Faqiri was beaten to death by guards in an Ontario jail. His brother, Yusuf Faqiri, talks about the latest news that none of the guards who restrained or beat his brother will be charged by the OPP. On the 75th Anniversary of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, we speak with National Post editor Matt Gurney. His grandfather was a soldier during the war. We speak with former CSIS Director Dick Fadden about the Canadian who has been handed a death sentence in China. And then, we talk to Bob Fife of the Globe and Mail about news in Saudi Arabia, as the Crown Prince paid a hit squad to come to Canada.

We discuss the conditions migrant workers are facing on Canadian farms during the COVID-19 pandemic, and what needs to change. We speak with Tracey Ramsey, the former NDP MP for Essex, about the pressure migrant workers are allegedly facing to sign away their movement rights. We also chat with Kareem Chehayeb, a journalist and researcher at the Beirut-based media organization, about the situation on-the-ground after the explosion. Then, we discuss the proposed bylaw in Niagara-on-the-Lake which could ban late-night ‘hooting, hollering, whistling and singing’ after 9 o’clock.
