THE ZOOMER SQUAD: TORONTO'S MAYORAL RACE AND CANADIANS WHO CAN'T RETIRE

Jane Brown is joined by Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine; Bill VanGorder, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Policy Officer of CARP; and John Wright, Executive Vice President at Maru Public Opinion. Together, Jane and the Squad unpack the latest on Toronto’s mayoral campaign trail; and discuss a recent survey that found 44% of non-retired Canadians aged 55 to 64 have less than $5,000 in savings, with one in five from that group saying they have not set anything aside for retirement.

FOUR FEDERAL BYELECTIONS TODAY

Four new MP’s will be elected to the House of Commons today in a handful of byelections that politicos say could expose rifts within the Conservative party and possibly bring a new Liberal cabinet hopeful into the fold.

Jane Brown is joined by Bob Richardson, Senior Council, National Public Relations to discuss what this could mean for Canadians.
