Together, they discuss Canadian Cancer Drug Shortages and an Angus Reid Poll finds more than 2 million Canadians over the age of 55 face significant barriers when accessing the health care system in their province, such as long waits to see a family doctor - if they have one - or lengthy wait-times for surgery, diagnostic tests, and specialist visits.

Torontonians have been using blue bins for the last 30 years as a system to dispose of their plastic waste.

David Lindsay, special advisor on the management of recycling and plastics, released a report that indicates that 30 percent of that waste ends up in landfills.

Now, the blue bin program is set for an overhaul by the Ford government. Ontario Minister of the Environment Jeff Yurek wants to shift the burden from our cities.
