  • 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.
