RECOVERING POLITICIANS: BOONDOGGLE DOESN'T BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE ARRIVECAN APP FIASCO

The Auditor General issues a scathing report on the ArriveCan app; Doug Ford’s PCs are set to repeal Bill 124; and Mayor Olivia Chow is looking at a bigger budget for Toronto Police Services.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Lisa Raitt, former deputy leader of the Conservative Party of Canada; George Smitherman, former Ontario Liberal MPP for Toronto Centre who also served as a health minister and deputy Premier; and Peggy Nash, former NDP MP for Parkdale-High Park to dive into these topics.

BEST PRACTICES FOR PROTECTING YOUR VEHICLE AGAINST AUTO THEFT

The Insurance Bureau of Canada reported that in 2022, claims paid out for vehicle thefts exceeded $1.2 billion for the first time.

As thefts rise exponentially, owners and insurers say manufacturers should address known vulnerabilities in vehicle technology, which are being exploited by thieves.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Bryan Gast, Vice-President, Investigative Services at Équité Association; and Inspector Paul Rinkoff from Toronto Police Services’ Community Partnerships & Engagement Unit to discuss this troubling trend.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Anna Stegink, owner/operator of online grocer Eat Impact to discuss perfectly imperfect food.
