Bob Komsic is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Bill VanGorder, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Policy Officer of CARP, Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer at CARP and John Wright, Executive Vice President of Maru Public Opinion.
We begin with a recap of CARP's meeting with NDP leader Jagmeet Singh where they brought up their desire to see the OAS 10 per cent increase extend to all qualified Seniors over the age of 65 and and to eliminate mandatory withdrawals from retirement savings accounts. We also turn to the latest on the mayoral election here in Toronto that has so far reached 50 candidates!

WILL NEXT MAYOR PRIORITIZE BIKE LANES?
Bob Komsic is now joined by Trevor Townsend, Founder of Keep Toronto Moving and Albert Koehl, a cycling and pedestrian advocate as well as an environmental lawyer.
Keep Toronto Moving, a not-for-profit organization, is blaming the City's increased congestion on what they see as badly implemented bike lanes. They put out a poll and the findings are that 63 per cent of Torontonians want the next mayor of Toronto to evaluate bike lanes and 84 per cent wanting them to make such evaluations every two to three years. Albert weighs in from the other side of the debate and makes the case for more dedicated bike lanes and a more bike friendly City.
