    THINK TANK with Stephanie Smyth, Mark Saunders & Brad Bradford
    2024/11/27
    Greg Brady and the panel of: Stephanie Smyth, broadcaster, Smyth Media Group, Brad Bradford, Toronto city councillor for Beaches - East York, Mark Saunders, former Toronto police chief, mayoral candidate Discuss: 1 - OPP is investigating a man shooting at multiple cars across the 401 yesterday in Mississauga. Isn’t it well past time our government and the ministry of transportation were better equipped with more efficient camera systems across the major highways so we can easily identify criminals or even who is at fault in automobile accidents? What’s stopping that from happening already? 2 - Premier Doug Ford is calling on the prime minister to take a threat from Donald Trump on tariffs seriously, but he says he is also planning action of his own (Alberta Premier Danielle Smith had similar comments). Can you see a scenario where many Canadian Premiers just go around Trudeau and by-pass him and make their own deals with Trump and the U.S? 3 - WHY is city council still trying to figure out why they can’t vote on the World Cup coming?

    Greg Brady and the panel of: Steve Paikin, Author and Broadcaster, host of TVO’s ‘The Agenda’ Chloe Brown, policy analyst and former Toronto mayoral candidate Discuss: 1 - Donald Trump says he will sign an executive order imposing a 25-per-cent tariff on all products coming into the United States from Canada and Mexico. 1) Do you believe him or is he bluffing? 2) Could this end up being a good thing long term for Canada because it may force Trudeau to re-examine his immigration and border policies? 2 - Ontario’s colleges and universities say the federal government’s cap on international students is taking a toll on their bottom line with some schools facing financial deficits, layoffs and, in one case, a temporary campus closure. Are you ok with Ontario schools basing their financial stability on international student enrollment? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The core issues behind these protests start at the top with the Prime Minister

    The core issues behind these protests start at the top with the Prime Minister
    2024/11/25
    Senator Leo Housakos joined Toronto Today with Greg Brady to discuss the protest turned riot in Montreal this past weekend. Senator Housakos explained how he opposed the scenes in Montreal and said it was something he never dreamed of ever seeing here in Canada. He laid blame at the doorstep of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and believes the core issues behind these protests start at the top with the PM. Senator Housakos also stated that police have their hands tied in managing the protests and says that many politicians don't have their back in supporting how to manage the protests. He also pointed out the differences in response to the protest compared to the trucker "freedom convoy" in Ottawa in 2022 vs the pro-Palestine protests in Montreal this weekend.

(in light of what we saw in Montreal this weekend) 3 - We keep seeing more and more young people involved in serious, violent crimes like this weekend's home invasion in Vaughan. Is it time to revisit the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) and allow some to face adult consequences? 4 - It could be the youngest person ever arrested in a home invasion. The age? 13. Seven people arrested for a break-in in Vaughan…one suspect is still at large after fleeing AFTER being handcuffed. Also arrested- FOUR 17-year olds, and TWO 18-year olds.
