Friday Focus: How will Israel respond to Iran?
Today’s Friday Focus begins with the disagreement between Israel and the US about how Israel should retaliate against Iran. While the US is trying to scale the response back to a series of limited strikes, Israel has waited for a long time to go after Iran – their biggest strategic threat – in a serious and meaningful way. Will they ever have a better moment? What targets will they go after? And will it be a conventional military response or a more covert operation? In the second half of the show, Janice marvels at the groundbreaking research of University of Toronto’s Geoffrey Hinton – this year’s recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics – that developed deep neural networks, without which there would be no ChatGPT. His work has and will revolutionize every part of our existence. Janice argues that Canadian universities are not getting the financial support their world-class researchers so desperately need. Why isn’t Canada supporting their centres of excellence?
