Today’s podcast:

Antisemitism growth/expansion in Canada.

Guest: Warren Kinsella. Was special assistant to Jean Chretien, now president/CEO of the Daisy Group, crisis management/communication @WarrenKinsella on Twitter/X. Opion columnist.

The Taylor Swift domination of pop music. New release Tortured Poets Department with more than a dozen unexpected tracks. Why Taylor Swift? Other acts who matched or came close to matching her appeal, current and/or past. And her legion of international 'Swifties' fans. Name origin and why do they wear the number 13?

Also, we get to speak with an actual Swiftie. Taylor, the aptly named sister of our show’s technical producer, gives the fan’s perspective on the draw of Taylor Swift.

Guests: Alan Cross. Host of the syndicated The Ongoing History of New Music and A Journal of Musical Things. New podcast: Uncharted crime and mayhem in the music industry.

And: Taylor, longtime Swiftie, and the sister of Roy Green Show Technical Producer, Tom.

Professor Sylvain Charlebois, @foodprofessor, posts to X/Twitter about online posters and calls to organize a "Steal from Loblaws Day" on May 12. Professor Charlebois reminds "this is not only ridiculous. It's criminal."

We will, on this program, describe this as an outageous attempt to organize a 'national day of looting.'

Then:

What do you say about the attempt to organize a "Steal from Loblaws Day" across Canada? Do you believe you have a responsibility to intercede if any theft occurs in your presence?

Guest: Professor Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri Foods lab at Dalhousie University.

And: Callers.

Usually we might expect national reaction to a federal budget to have run its course several days following the budget's release. Not so this time as this past week's budget remains a topic of direct engagement and challenge. From doctors to Canada's business community, the federal budget is being hammered as a prime jewel of financial misfires.

Guest: Professor Eric Kam. Macroeconomics. Toronto Metropolitan University.
