RECOVERING POLITICIANS PANEL: THE PROVINCE WILL NOW OVERSEE THE GARDINER EXPRESSWAY AND DVP

Libby Znaimer is joined by George Smitherman, Former Liberal MPP for Toronto Centre who served as a health minister and Deputy Premier, Cheri DiNovo, Former Ontario NDP MPP and a recipient of the Order of Canada and John Capobianco,  Senior Vice President & Senior Partner, FleishmanHillard HighRoad.

It’s Tuesday: Time to talk politics and yesterday’s new deal between the City of Toronto and the province is being called historic. Actually my favourite commentary was in a tweet from Councillor Mike Colle – it said that Mayor Olivia Chow and Premier Doug Ford should get the Nobel Peace Prize! The deal earmarks up to 9 B from the province and much of that money will come from Queens Parks’ agreement to take over both the Gardiner Expressway and the DVP. There’s also cash for housing, for shelters and the TTC. In exchange, the city has agreed to let Ford have his way on that controversial Spa development at Ontario Place. Was that a fair exchange?

FAMILIES STILL WAITING FOR HOSTAGES TO BE FREED

Libby Znaimer is joined by Maureen Leshem who lives in Toronto and is the cousin of 23-year-old Romi Gonen–an Israeli who was last seen at the Nova Music festival on Oct. 7 and has disappeared.

Romi, who is originally from a community in northern Israel, was last heard from her parents during the rampage by Hamas terrorists that killed hundreds at the Nova music festival. Romi attended the festival. Her family including Maureen are now looking for answers and calling for her return home.
