Today on NOW with Dave Brown, we have our weekly news panel with Michelle McQuigge and Meagan Gillmore. We discuss the exemption given to Ontario gyms to remain open during the stay-at-home order. We talk about the new luxury taxes introduced in the new budget by the federal government. We ask whether the media is under any obligation to share good news as the pandemic rages and explore if that may impact society’s trust in the media. Entertainment critic Michael McNeely concludes his Oscars coverage with a discussion on the nominees for best picture. And, Karen McKay from the Centre for Equitable Library Access tells us about this year’s longlist for the 2020 Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour. This is the April 23, 2021 episode.
