Today's podcast:

How is the population of Israel reacting to the war with Hamas and is war with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon only a matter of time?

As well, our guest has a two-part interview on her podcast with the mother and father of a 23 year old badly wounded Israeli hostage taken by Hamas.

Guest: Ambassador Vivian Bercovici. Former Cdn Ambassador to Israel and publisher of The State of Tel Aviv on Substack. From Tel Aviv.

As we begin 2024, the reality remains 6.8 million Canadians, including 1.8 million children live in food insecurity. How will 2024 most likely develop on the food cost, inflation, accusations of shrinkflation, accusations of profiteering by grocery chains and parliamentary involvement develop?

Guest: Professor Sylvain Charlebois. Director: Agri Foods laboratory at Dalhousie University.

So, where are we as far as our economic wellbeing is concerned on this first full weekend of 2024? Stock markets are showing signs of recovery and there are predictions of inflation falling along with BOC interest rates. But is that realistic or pie-in-the-sky peddling?

Guest: Professor Eric Kam. Macroeconomics, Toronto Metropolitan University

The Clean Fuel Regulation which began in July of last year is at approximately 25% of its impact by 2030 and the PBO told us on air the CFR will most directly hurt Canadians least able to afford the increased cost. What lies ahead, as well with gasoline, natural gas and diesel costs?

Guest: Dan McTeague. President: Canadians for Affordable Energy

Justin Trudeau's challenged 'free' Christmas/new year vacation in Jamaica occupying a $9,300 nightly rental residence owned by a 'friend' of the Trudeau family. Planned intimidation of Jewish residents of Toronto, including arson.
