What did Dr. Kieran Moore's press conference reveal and is there anything of value that can be gleaned from it? We check in with CityKidz, to see how the organization is doing as we head into the winter. Toronto police released an update on the case of the murder of Barry and Honey Sherman. What does the Bank of Canada’s updated mandate mean for inflation? Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer, said in her annual report that Canada’s public health system is “stretched dangerously thin,” and without urgent attention, future patients will suffer. So what changes are needed? And Henry Jacek joins us to talk about the Liberal’s fiscal update, and the pressures they are under with the balancing act.

There's been a lot more chatter than usual surrounding F1 over the weekend. Here to explain what happened, is our friend Erik Tomas! An official apology to survivors of sexual misconduct in the Canadian military has been delivered by Defence Minister Anita Anand, Gen. Wayne Eyre and Deputy Defence Minister Jody Thomas on the government's behalf. Reggie Cecchini is in Kentucky for Global News where he's covering the aftermath of the ferocious tornadoes. Time has unveiled their Person of the Year, and it is… Elon Musk. You do not have to be liked to be Person of the Year, but given the reaction online, we have to ask, what is the deal with the public’s relationship with Elon? And now that vaccinations for 50 and up are now available in Ontario, more people are asking the question, “Should I go with Pfizer or Moderna?”
