About this episode
The episode discusses the return of the Ontario legislature, key political initiatives, and ongoing legal debates in Canada.
In this edition of RADIO DAYS on Now and Next: I joined Jerry Agar on Newstalk 1010 for his PARTY FOR TWO! The Ontario legislature gets back to business for the first time in more than three months and will sit for 32 days before breaking for the summer. Ford has committed to taking over Billy Bishop Airport and invoking Bill 5 to avoid local opposition. The province is also pushing GTA Rental and Affordable Housing Initiative intended to create 2,200 rentals in the near term - converting "unwanted" condos into rental units. The Supreme Court of Canada is hearing arguments over Quebec's Bill 21 and the use of the Notwithstanding Clause. The question is what is the SCOC really considering if the Notwithstanding Clause is the law of the land? AND...are we ready for gas to cost more than $2/litre?
