Greg Brady spoke with Bjorn Lomborg, who is a Danish political scientist, author, and the president of the think tank Copenhagen Consensus Centre. He discussed the Cop 29 Conference that just took place in Azerbaijan and how he feels developed nations have now resorted to bribing underdeveloped countries in order to get them to get on board with climate initiatives. He also discussed data surrounding electric vehicles and how he doesn't feel EV's are the future and explained their downfalls including how they aren't useful for the trucking industry and people who don't own a garage to charge them. 

Next, David Piccini Ontario Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. Piccini spoke about having at least 2 million temporary residents here in Ontario and how Prime Minister Trudeau's policies have broken the public's faith in immigration. Piccini also explained a shift in making sure immigrants have a better skill set to help contribute to the Canadian economy. The Minister also talks about how the province is planning to introduce a job-protected leave of 16 weeks for people who adopt children or have kids through surrogacy.

Also, Jon Burnside – Toronto city councilor. Burnside discussed Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and how she is behind in addressing many issues affecting Toronto and specifically addressing anti-Semitic graffiti on the TTC. He also explained the power structure at Toronto city hall and who is really responsible for making policies and plenty more.

Finally, Greg focused in on international students speaking out against, what they believe, is unfair treatment about the student Visas expiring and that they will have to leave Canada.
