1. THE CURRENT:
Saskatchewan has generally been a province whose politics have leaned
toward the populist and left-of-center parties, but it looks like
there might be some big changes coming their way after tomorrow's
provincial election. The Current considers whether Saskatchewan is
having an identity crisis. And then, there seems to be a battle
brewing on Parliament Hill over a proposed national childcare
program. Who should be caring for your children? That's on The
Current, with Anna Maria Tremonti, this morning at 8:30 (9:00 NT) on
CBC Radio One.
2. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
It's a very special guest on Sounds Like Canada today as Former Prime
Minister Paul Martin sits down with Shelagh Rogers to talk about life
after politics. He was a shipping magnate, who became Minister of
Finance, and then Prime Minister of Canada, but now Paul Martin has
turned his attention to philanthropic endeavours like starting a
program to help young aboriginals stay in school, working on
development projects in Africa, and pushing for G-8 reform. That's
Sounds Like Canada, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. C'EST LA VIE:
Sometimes news stories coming from Quebec make it seem as though there
may be a crisis going on for immigrants to that province. But beyond
the headlines, in the day-to-day world of Quebec society newcomers are
fitting in successfully. This month, C'est la vie profiles Quebeckers
of diverse origins and today we meet a dancer and choreographer who
moved to Quebec from his native Venezuela - José Navas. C'est la vie,

Radio One.

Today's guests are descended from some pretty remarkable people. Anne
Marie Fleming's great grandfather was a world-renowned Chinese
Vaudevillian called "Long Tack Sam". She has explored his legacy in a
documentary film, and now she's turned the story into a graphic novel.
And then, Jonathon Holliff's father was the manager of one client only
- Johnny Cash, and now Jonathan is writing a book and producing a
documentary about Johnny Cash's work seen through Jonathan's father's
eyes. Q, with Jian Ghomeshi, this afternoon after your local noon show
on CBC Radio One.
5. SEARCH ENGINE: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in Winnipeg***Not heard
in all locations
For many artists the Internet is a valuable tool. After all, artists -
particularly entertainers - thrive on exposure and what better way to
get publicity. But if your art relies on secrecy the way that magic
does, this open culture is just about the worst thing that can happen
to you. Listen in for "Is The Internet Killing Magic?" on Search
Engine, with Jesse Brown, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
6. OUTFRONT:
Now that she's about to turn forty, Toronto poet Andrea Thompson is

A parasailing adventure off the coast of Florida helps her reach an
understanding about her feelings. Outfront, this evening at 8:45
(9:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. IDEAS:
All this week Ideas brings you the 2007 CBC Massey Lectures featuring
author and essayist Alberto Manguel. As ethnic nationalism is
replaced by the concept of building societies around common values,
the results are sometimes frustrating. Alberto Manguel speaks to the
problems society faces and suggests we look to stories for answers.
>From the Bible to Don Quixote to The Fast Runner, he explores how
books and stories hold the secrets to what binds us together. That's
on Ideas, tonight at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. VINYL CAFE:
Head for the Vinyl Cafe this weekend. Host Stuart McLean was in
Belleville Ontario where he welcomed special musical guests Harmony
Trowbridge and Joe Grass. He'll also have a story about Dave's
daughter who left her stuffed bunny rabbit at home when she left for
university. Dave, of course, feels sorry for it and starts carrying
it to work, sleeping with it, and keeping it secret from the
neighbours. The Vinyl Cafe, tonight at 11 p.m. (11:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
9. THE CHOICE:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a television show that reached cult
status. It's the story of a California Valley Girl who was bestowed
with powers that enabled her to fight the forces of darkness. Is this
a feminist icon? This week on The Choice, IDEAS producer Mary
O'Connell explores why Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a pop culture
phenomenon. Buffyworld, on The Choice, tonight at midnight (12:30 NT)
on CBC Radio One.

12. TONIC:
Aside from a way to cook eggs and a general state of confusion,
"Scrambled" is also an infectious jazz tune performed by the trio of
pianist Oliver Jones tonight on Tonic. And if you've got neighbours
who keep turning up at the back door at dinnertime with an expectant
grin on their faces, you'll identify with the tune "Newsy Neighbours"
from the 70s girl band First Choice. And just try not to dance when
percussionist Poncho Sanchez and his band play "Cinderella," - bet you
can't do it. Take a little Tonic, with Katie Malloch, this evening at
6:00 p.m. (6:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
