  • Toronto's 2025 Budget Consultations

    Toronto's 2025 Budget Consultations
    Oct 3 2024
    TUNE INTO THE TOWN: 2025 CITY BUDGET CONSULTATIONS Toronto begins 2025 budget consultations; police in the GTA planning heightened presence ahead of October 7th Hamas terror attack anniversary; and the latest on the Ontario subway line. Jane Brown is joined by Karen Stintz, a Conservative Party of Canada candidate for Eglinton-Lawrence, a former Toronto City Councillor and the CEO of Variety Village; Councillor Paula Fletcher for Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth; and Councillor Stephen Holyday for Ward 2 Etobicoke, for a conversation about all things Toronto. POLICE PRESENCE AHEAD OF OCTOBER 7 ANNIVERSARY Greater Toronto Area police chiefs have announced plans for beefed up patrols and security leading up to the anniversary of the Hamas terror attacks this Monday and in the weeks following October 7th. Jane Brown is joined by Luciano Cedrone, Security Director with Triovest and with the Security Guard Association of Ontario; and Toronto Councillor and Deputy Mayor Mike Colle Ward 8 Eglinton-Lawrence, to discuss what this surveillance and security might look like. WHAT THE HILL IS GOING ON? (PARLIAMENT HILL, THAT IS) In Ottawa yesterday, the majority of MPs voted in favour of a motion on a private members bill by the Bloc Quebecois leader to increase old age security payments for people 65 to 74. The motion ultimately passed with the support of the Conservatives, NDP, Greens and five Liberal backbenchers. Most Liberal MPs voted against the non binding motion. Yves-Francois Blanchett says the October 29th deadline stands for the minority Liberals to join his efforts to increase pensions for younger seniors. But he also says if the Liberals don't give a royal recommendation to his bill within a few days, he'll begin talking with the other opposition parties about getting ready for an election. Jane Brown is joined by public affairs consultant Bob Richardson and John Mykytyshyn, conservative activist, political consultant and President of Bradgate Research Group, to make sense of all this.

  • Israel Vows to Respond to Iran's Ballistic Missile Attack

    Israel Vows to Respond to Iran's Ballistic Missile Attack
    Oct 2 2024
    THE MEDICAL RECORD: WHY BREAST CANCER RATES ARE RISING AMONG YOUNGER WOMEN Marissa Lennox is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Dr. Malcolm Moore, Medical Oncologist, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and a former head of BC Cancer, Dr. Alisa Naiman, a family doctor practicing comprehensive primary care in Toronto, and Dr. Amol Verma, a clinician-scientist and staff physician in General Internal Medicine at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and new research from the American Cancer Society shows breast cancer rates are rising among younger women, particularly those under 50. What’s driving this rise? How should we be rethinking screening and awareness? And, with everything we know about early diagnosis saving lives, why are so many young women not getting diagnosed until later stages? IRAN ATTACKS ISRAEL TARGETING CIVILIANS & ISRAEL VOWS TO RESPOND Marissa Lennox is now joined by Richard Goldberg, a Senior Advisor at the Foundation for Defence of Democracies who served on the White House National Security Council staff. He was also sanctioned by Iran in 2008. Yesterday, the world watched as Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles at Israel directly targeting civilians across the country. Most of those missiles were intercepted successfully by Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to retaliate saying, “Iran made a big mistake tonight – and it will pay the price for it”. So, how exactly does Iran’s terror attack change the war and how might Israel actually respond? ONTARIO INCREASES THE MINIMUM WAGE Marissa Lennox is now joined by Moshe Lander, Senior Lecturer of Economics at Concordia University in Montreal. Yesterday, Ontario increased the minimum hourly wage from $16.55 to $17.20. What are the implications of that as people grapple with the higher cost of living?
