This week on The Next Take Podcast, Canada’s own hosts Mikel and Tanyka discuss the town of Ajax, Ontario receiving $20 million from the federal government to build more affordable housing, Bell Canada laying off 4,800 employees, and the cloning of the Burlington crayfish.

the Town of Ajax continued its push to address housing demand and accelerate residential development across the community. With a provincial goal of 17,000 new housing units in Ajax by 2031, the town introduced several initiatives aimed at increasing housing supply, encouraging higher-density development and creating more diverse housing options. Federal funding through the Housing Accelerator Fund also provided nearly $22 million to help Ajax remove development barriers and fast-track hundreds of new homes. The initiative comes as Ajax and communities across Durham Region continue to face growing concerns surrounding housing availability, affordability and future population growth.

Bell Canada’s parent company, BCE Inc., announced a major restructuring that would eliminate approximately 4,800 positions, representing about 9% of its workforce. The cuts marked the company’s largest workforce restructuring initiative in nearly 30 years. The changes extended into Bell Media, alongside significant adjustments to its television and radio operations. Bell announced plans to sell 45 regional radio stations, while CTV and other Bell Media properties faced programming and staffing changes.

An unusual invasive species is raising concerns in Burlington, Ontario. The marbled crayfish has the remarkable ability to reproduce without a mate, essentially creating genetically identical clones of itself. After being detected in the wild near Burlington, experts began investigating how the species arrived and whether it could spread into surrounding waterways.

On this week’s episode of The Next Take Podcast, Canada’s Mikel and Tanyka explore the threat of devil and ghostly comets in space and what could happen if they reach Earth. They also break down the new New York Adult Survivor Act law."

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, better known as the “Devil Comet,” captured attention as it made its rare journey through the inner solar system, displaying unusual activity that had previously given it a horn-like appearance.

New York’s Adult Survivors Act became one of the state’s most significant legal measures for survivors seeking justice over allegations of sexual abuse from years or even decades earlier. The law created a temporary one-year window allowing adults to pursue certain civil claims that had previously been blocked because the statute of limitations had expired.

This week on The Next Take Podcast, Canada’s own Mikel and Tanyka wish everyone in the United States a Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Week. They also discuss the new Ontario laws for 2024 announced this year, the Ontario nursing crisis and how Doug Ford and the Ontario government are involved, and the “God of Darkness” asteroid reportedly heading toward Earth.

Ontario introduced a number of legal and regulatory changes affecting workers, employers and everyday life across the province. From a higher minimum wage to new workplace protections and changes surrounding sick notes, the year brought several updates Ontarians needed to know about. This discussion takes a closer look at some of the major Ontario laws and policy changes reported throughout 2024, what changed and how those changes could affect people across the province.

Ontario’s health-care system is facing mounting pressure as a shortage of nurses continues to affect hospitals and other health-care facilities across the province. 

The massive asteroid 99942 Apophis, sometimes nicknamed the “God of Darkness” or “God of Chaos,” is preparing for an extraordinarily close encounter with Earth. The asteroid is expected to fly past our planet on April 13, 2029, coming closer than some satellites orbiting Earth.
