PETITION CALLS FOR CITY NOT TO IMPLEMENT PRIORITY TRANSIT LANES ON DUFFERIN STREET

Libby Znaimer is joined by Brynne and Marlon, both residents living on Dufferin Street.

The City is considering implementing dedicated transit lanes on a large stretch of Dufferin Street--and on Bathurst street as we reported on extensively in recent weeks. Today, we hear from residents who live right on Dufferin about why such a project worries them and about a petition by "Protect Dufferin" calling for it not to go ahead.

PRESIDENT TRUMP INCREASES TARIFFS ON IMPORTED ALUMINUM AND STEEL

Libby Znaimer is joined by Marty Warren, the Canadian National Director of the United Steelworkers union which represents 225,000 members in Canada followed by Andrea Horwath, Mayor of Hamilton.

This past Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump made the decision to increase tariffs on imported steel and aluminum from 25 percent to 50 percent which went into effect starting at 12:01 AM today. How will that impact Canada's local industries? We hear from them directly.
