THE ZOOMER SQUAD: CARP'S ADVOCACY FOR LOBLAW DISCOUNT & BABY BOOMERS WITHOUT GRANDKIDS

Libby Znaimer is joined by Rudy Buttignol, President of CARP, Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer of CARP and Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine.

Canadian consumers received some good news late Friday afternoon when Loblaw announced that they would be reinstating the 50 percent discount on food items that are about to hit their best before date. This time last week, CARP members and other older Canadians were fuming about the decision to reduce the discount to 30 percent. And it seems Loblaw heard the discontent and reversed the policy.

RISING AUTO INSURANCE PREMIUMS

Jane Brown is now joined by Ellen Roseman, Consumer Advocate and journalist, Nainesh Kotak, Founder of Kotak Personal Injury Law, and Tom Rakocevic,  Ontario NDP Auto Insurance critic and the MPP for Humber River-Black Creek.

Is your auto insurance getting more expensive? And by how much? You may be aware that Ontario drivers may now opt out of direct compensation property damage coverage as a way to make insurance more affordable, but the reality is that such a decision could cost you far more should you ever get into any kind of collision. Our guests weigh in.
