Greg Brady & the panel of:

Stephanie Smyth, Toronto—St. Paul MPP

Brad Bradford, Toronto city councillor for Beaches - East York

Mark Saunders, former Toronto police chief, mayoral candidate

Discuss:

1 - Temporary hotel funding ends - feds had spent at least $1.2B on it - cities now under pressure, Toronto amongst them, and yet no ask for a re-frame or re-think about asylum qualifications or fixing the system from Mayor Chow - just an ask for $. How do you see this? She’s fine to ask for it - it only makes the issues grow, does it not?

2 - Two terrible scooter accidents in GTA involving 12 and 10 year olds. TERRIBLE to hear of, yet not sure lack of legislation impacts this. I was pleased to see a bunch of tickets handed out in Toronto for illegal use of them. Does any deterrent work to prevent this, besides us agreeing 10 and 12 is way too young to be anywhere near heavy traffic with these?

Guest host Brad Smith and the panel of:

Steve Paikin, Author and Broadcaster, host of The Paikin Podcast,

Chloe Brown, policy analyst and former Toronto mayoral candidate,

Discuss:

1 - Are apologies, monuments, ceremonies, and land acknowledgements meaningful if they’re not matched by resource allocation and structural change? How do we hold today’s governments accountable for harms that happened in the past but still affect people now?

2 - Chow warns funding shortfall for asylum seekers equivalent to two per cent tax hike: Is there any way to get around this without a tax hike?

3 - Ford considers rolling out more cameras to investigate home invasions: Is this an invasion of privacy? Ford does say that he will seek residents permission as well so shouldn't he be asking residents permission to remove speed cameras? How effective would these cameras even be, we have speed cameras being watched by cameras and they still get vandalized and criminals aren't caught..

4 - Ready to fall back? Here’s when daylight time ends in Canada: Can we just end the time change? Why can’t we just fall back and stay there?
