Economist Charles Lammam, contributor at The Hub, joins The Deb Hutton Show to argue Ontario needs bold tax cuts and reform to stay competitive as economic pressure from the United States grows. Deb then opens the phones on whether graduation ceremonies should stay strictly apolitical—or if students have the right to speak their minds. The hour wraps with columnist and former diplomat Andrew Caddell reacting to the Air Canada CEO being summoned to Ottawa over an English‑only condolence video, with listener calls weighing in on accountability, language, and leadership.

Ontario Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy joins The Deb Hutton Show to explain the province’s temporary HST rebate on new homes and whether cutting the tax will truly make housing more affordable or simply drive prices higher. Deb also hears from callers and Mike Moffatt, economist and head of the Missing Middle Initiative, on whether the plan will deliver 8,000 new units, help first‑time buyers, address development charges, or if there’s a better way to spend over $1 billion. The hour wraps with Toronto Police Deputy Chief Frank Barredo outlining new counter‑terrorism and high‑visibility police deployments, followed by caller reaction on whether seeing more armed officers makes people feel safer—or more uneasy—in their daily lives.
