Libby Znaimer is joined by David Peterson, former Ontario Liberal Premier, Lisa Raitt, Former Deputy Leader of Conservative Party of Canada, and Cheri DiNovo, an Order of Canada recipient and former Ontario NDP MPP.
This past weekend, a video was posted online that showed Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland being verbally harassed by a man while she was in Grand Prairie, Alberta's City Hall. The Prime Minister and others have since publicly condemned the attack. But, this recorded video highlights something we've known for a long time: female politicians often face abuse and harassment both online and offline far too often. We've seen it with political leaders from all political stripes including Kathleen Wynne, Lisa McLeod, Gail Shea and many more. So, where does it end? And, will public safety minister Marco Mendicino create a plan to increase security for our politicians as the threats escalate?

CHAOS AT THE AIRPORT AND HOTELS BECOMING MORE LIKE AIRBNB STAYS
Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Makarand Mody, Associate Professor of Hospitality Marketing and Director of Research at Boston University School of Hospitality Administration, Martin Firestone, President of Travel Secure Inc., and John Gradek, a faculty lecturer at McGill University in Montreal and a former executive with Air Canada.
Today's central topic: it's been months since we've first started covering the chaos at Toronto's Pearson International Airport and flight delays and STILL it remains a problem. Libby details her first-hand account of this while traveling to Minnesota for a family reunion. And, while she made the trip, she came across another disappointment: she had booked an expensive stay at the Hyatt Hotel only to observe upon arrival that it operated more like an Airbnb and lacked amenities. It got her thinking about whether traditional hotels operating like Airbnbs have become a widespread trend these days. Our travel industry experts weigh in.
