Today: It’s Monday and we're talking about money. And there’s a very interesting development in terms of safeguarding your assets from financial abuse. Financial institutions are now required to ask clients if they want to designate a so-called “trusteed person” that they can  talk to about your health, mental capacity and  financial circumstances if they suspect financial exploitation or  have concerns about your decision-making capacity.

ALEK MINASSIAN SENTENCING HEARING

Libby Znaimer is joined by criminal defence lawyer Ari Goldkind.

Today, the court began hearing the victim impact statements as part of the sentencing hearing for Alek Minassian who was  found guilty of 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder last year for the April 23, 2018 van attack. The sentencing was delayed while the judge waited for the Supreme Court to rule on whether it is constitutional to impose consecutive life sentences along with consecutive time for parole ineligibility. The court decided that was cruel and unusual punishment, which means these impact statements will have no impact on the sentence! What do you think of that decision?

MARIT STILES ON FUTURE OF NDP PARTY

Libby Znaimer is joined by NDP MPP Marit Stiles (Davenport).

It was an election that saw Doug Ford's PCs win a second majority government, and two of the opposition parties--the NDP and Liberals--become leaderless. But, less surprising, was that Marit Stiles was re-elected in her riding. We ask her about the future of her party, and whether she will be running for the leadership spot now that Andrea is gone.
