Libby Znaimer is joined by David Crombie, former Mayor of Toronto, Karen Stintz, CEO of Variety Village and a former Toronto City Councillor and Bob Richardson, Liberal Strategist and Senior Council to National Public Relations
Today: we provide an update on the ever crowded Toronto mayoral race with key election issues being violence on the TTC, safer streets and the City's budget hole among other issues. Meanwhile, we discuss the news that Toronto will be on the hook for the 2026 FIFA World Cup expenses. Is that fair? There's also the debate over the future of Ontario Place. And, our panel reacts to Rogers striking a deal to be the provider of the 5G network on the TTC. Finally, new TTC data shows that because of the added presence of police officers on the transit system, there were fewer security incidents.
PRINCE HARRY TO ATTEND KING CHARLES' CORONATION
Libby Znaimer is joined by Suzanne Boyd, Editor-in-Chief of Zoomer Magazine.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.
Jagmeet has made his views known about Galen Weston's recent pay raise. He tweeted, “Every cent of Greedy Galen's 55% raise deserves to be taxed. And, then given back to you, your family, and food banks throughout Canada.” Jagmeet joins the program to weigh in on his latest beef with Weston and the hot button topic of "greedflation".
