THE ZOOMER SQUAD: CABINET SHUFFLE AND AGE LIMITS FOR PUBLIC OFFICE

Jane Brown is joined by Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine; Bill VanGorder, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Policy Officer of CARP; and John Wright, Executive Vice President, Maru Public Opinion.

Together, Jane and the Squad dive into such topics as the federal cabinet shuffle including Seamus O’Regan taking over the seniors’ portfolio; Ontario’s recent byelection results; and the tricky question of whether age limits for senators should be on the table.

METRO GROCERY STRIKE

As the strike by Metro grocery workers continues, experts say the job action is part of a larger trend of lower-wage earners pushing back against employers for better pay in industries that have seen huge gains in profits in recent years.

Jane Brown is joined by David Macdonald, Senior Economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives; and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Senior Director of Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, to discuss this issue.
