Fight Back with Libby Znaimer

On today's program, Libby Znaimer is joined by Ontario Minister of Long-Term Care Merrilee Fullerton, Jane Meadus, Lawyer at the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly, Lisa Levin, CEO of AdvantAge Ontario, Marissa Lennox, Director of Stakeholder Relations at CARP.

Also joining the program are Laura Jackson and Susan Horvath. Jackson was a close family friend of Maurice Granat, Wettlaufer's second victim. Horvath is the daughter of Arpad Horvath, Wettlaufer's last victim.

The Public Inquiry into the Safety and Security of Residents in the Long-Term Care Homes System was released yesterday. It came with 91 recommendations aimed at preventing such crimes from happening in the future.

The long-term care system is strained but not broken. After two years, that is the conclusion of the four-volume, 1491-page report.

It also says that the fact that killer nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer could murder 8 people without being caught was no one’s fault, but rather the result of systemic vulnerabilities. Does that conclusion pass the buck? Will the 92 recommendations truly be implemented?

Will the Democrats be able to mount a strong challenge to Donald Trump in the 2020 election? Obviously that depends on who turns out to be their candidate. Right now there is a huge field of two dozen hopefuls.

It started with putting a price on plastic bags at the grocery store. Now Sobeys is becoming the first national grocery chain to ban single-use plastic bags. That will take effect in 6 months, at which point customers will either have to bring their own bags or use paper bags that Sobeys will supply.

Do you have a capital one credit card? Six million Canadians do and they are the latest to have their personal information stolen by a hacker. And this is just the latest in a string of data breaches in sensitive financial services - the same happened at Desjardins just weeks ago.

It affected 2.7 million people and 173,000 businesses. In 2017, a data breach at Equifax, one of the major credit reporting companies, exposed the SIN numbers and other sensitive information of about 19,000 Canadians.

This one is apparently larger than the others put together. What do you do to protect yourself?
