RECOVERING POLITICIANS: WILL CANADA POST WORKERS STRIKE AGAIN? 

Libby Znaimer is joined by George Smitherman, former Liberal MPP for Toronto Centre, Health Minister and Deputy Premier, Cheri DiNovo, former NDP MPP and Lisa Raitt, a former Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.

We begin with news about a looming, potential Canada Post strike and reaction to Canada, France and the U.K. threatening sanctions against Israel unless it stops its current Gaza offensive.

BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT PROPOSED CHANGES TO BATHURST STREET  

Libby Znaimer is joined by Marco Santaguida, Principal, Santaguida Fine Foods, Davina Winer, Owner of The Showroom and Emily England, a resident who lives on Bathurst Street.

Today: we hear from a panel of local businesses and a resident on Bathurst Street who are concerned about the idea of potential dedicated transit lanes on a large stretch of this major street. The City of Toronto currently has a survey open to the public on this matter which can be accessed here. It remains open until May 26.

We get reaction to the latest developments in Israel's Gaza offensive, the hostages still being held captive by Hamas and the threat of sanctions against Israel by Canada, the U.K. and France.
