Think Tank with Ana Bailao & Josh DeHaas

Greg Brady and the panel of:

Ana Bailao, former Toronto city councillor, deputy mayor, housing expert

Josh DeHaas, counsel with the Canadian Constitution Foundation and co-author of the new book Free Speech in Canada: A beginner’s guide from ancient roots to current controversies

Discuss:

1. Provincial election one day out - I think a LOT has aligned to frustrate voters, and the snow is no exception - is turnout going to be above 50 percent in the province?

2. Education has barely been touched as an issue - it’s been an issue the Ford government has been strong in ignoring, but it’s also an issue that the opposition leaders haven’t hit on too much - maybe the Ontario NDP has the most to lose - they’re embedded in teachers union support, and criticizing test scores and discipline and how our kids have weathered the last 5-6 years…maybe that would seem a bit of a self-own….but I’ve never seen it less in a provincial election.

3. The high-speed rail line proposed by the federal Liberals has left ALL cities west of Toronto wondering why they’re not in the mix - huge populations in Hamilton/Kitchener/London - all struggling to understand why they were cut off from this - maybe it truly is supply and demand and surveys and data show VIA Rail is sufficient - how do you see it?

4. Viral video of a toddler crying at a wedding and an angry bride posting it online.  THAT is its own story - but do you have a recommendation for small creatures that might scream or cry and moan being front/centre at weddings?
