THE MEDICAL RECORD: WHAT IS THE "MAN FLU"?
Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Jason Profetto, Family Physician with Profetto Savatteri Family Medicine in Hamilton, Dr. Malcolm Moore, Medical Oncologist, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Dr. Jamie Spiegelman, Internal Medicine and Critical Care Physician at Humber River Hospital.
Today we kick things off by discussing the phenomenon popularly known as the "man flu". Meanwhile, now that we are experiencing greater levels of snowfall during the Winter, our health experts weigh in on the risk of a heart attack and overall cardiovascular health when shoveling the snow. And, what we know so far about AI and the role it can play in detecting early signs of hidden Pancreatic Cancer in scans.
HIGH PARK AND OTHER TORONTO PARKS NOT SO RESIDENT FRIENDLY ANYMORE?
Libby Znaimer is joined by Gil Penalosa, a popular urbanist and the Founder of 8 80 Cities who formerly ran for mayor of Toronto and Diane Buckell, founding member of petition 'High Park-Access for All' and a 40+ Year resident and supporter of High Park.
Is Toronto becoming the city that fun forgot or is there more to it than that? Yesterday, we had a big reaction to the city’s move to ban tobogganing in 45 parks. There’s also been lots of protest around the decision to ban cars from High park making it inaccessible for many older people, new parents and people with disabilities. And we just heard about another area in the park that will be closed to people altogether. That’s the place where there was a labyrinth. And remember the delays last year in opening washrooms - another factor keeping people away. Who is responsible for these decisions? Is it bureaucrats? Where are the politicians? And is there a move to keep people out of our parks?
WHO IS FUNDING THESE PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS IN TORONTO?
Libby Znaimer is joined by Warren Kinsella, a Toronto-based lawyer, author and consultant.
Who is behind these aggressive pro-Palestinian protests taking place in Toronto and who is giving them funding? Warren Kinsella has been following the money and he joins us to discuss what he's found and advocate against the rise in antisemitism here at home.
