America’s Rage, Canada’s Tariffs, and Toronto’s Urban Wilds
In this episode of The Oakley Show, John Oakley explores a series of major issues shaping public discourse and policy:
Moral decay and grievance culture in America — Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, author of Therapy Nation, discusses how social media echo chambers and political polarization are fueling violence and silencing open dialogue.
When violence becomes “justice” — A look at why some Americans now justify attacks on political figures and what this reveals about the nation’s mental and moral health.
Canada vs. Trump’s tariffs — Former Reform Party leader Preston Manning explains his Globe and Mail op-ed, outlining how Canada should engage with Donald Trump’s populism by appealing to his voter base rather than political elites in Washington.
Tariffs and the cost of living — Manning’s argument for using voter pressure and upcoming U.S. midterm elections to push for changes in tariff policy.
Coyotes in the city — Toronto listeners share firsthand accounts of coyotes and foxes in urban neighborhoods, raising questions about public safety, wildlife management, and the limits of coexistence.
