We speak with two mothers of Jewish children in Ottawa. One mother's 5 year-old child on his school bus heard the words "all Jews raise your hands." Shades of 1933?  Another Jewish child in Ottawa was told to go and kill herself and her mother is terrified when her daughter wears the Star of David in public.   Guests: Anna. Grew up in the Soviet Union and came to Canada because this is a "beautiful and peaceful country." Now her daughter has been told to go and kill herself. And: Dr. Tejaswinhi Srinivas.

Ontario premier Doug Ford has been attacked for his remarks on Thursday in the presence of Justin Trudeau and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow when the premier said he's "had it up to here" with attacks on Ontario's Jewish community and urged anyone coming to Ontario to live not do so if they are bringing hatred and vitriol with them. A gratuitous attack on immigrants by Ford, or an elected politician speaking his mind and perhaps echoing what many have been thinking? What do Canadians want from their elected officials? Doug Ford bluntness or statements such as the one made by prime minister Justin Trudeau who following the arson attack on the Shara Tzedeck synagogue in Vancouver offered only "a synagogue was attacked last night in Vancouver in another disgusting act of antisemitism. We cannot let this hate or these acts of violence stand. This is not the Canada we want to be."   What do Canadians want from their politicians as response to Jew-hatred and acts of terrorism such as shooting at Jewish schools and ars

B.C. Court turns unfaithful U.K. Man's "mistake" into a 'nightmare.' The story of E.S. and G.W. G.W. Is an unfaithful husband from the U.K. who engaged in a relationshp with E.S. whose court claim is G.W. is the father of her child and she has the right to pursue retroactive child support, something G.W. has refused to accept and doesn't want his marriage to be negatively affected by his behaviour. A B.C. Judge has granted E.S. a document which will allow her to pursue $100,000 in retroactive child support in a British court. Our guest says this is also a message for women who have not pursued child support and perhaps because the father has been threatening. We will also return to a term our guest introduced two week ago on the program and which most listeners had never heard before:  "Marriage-like." This is how an unofficial relationship which goes on for some time, even with both parties living in separate homes can be deemed by a court to be "marriage-like" and requiring settlement of assets on breakup
