About this episode

Jerry Agar discusses privacy changes in lottery announcements, the new Governor General, and a law capping resale prices in Ontario.

On today's Party for Two, Jerry is joined by Vass Bednar, managing director of the Canadian Shield Institute, to unpack the top stories of the day. Plus, the last names of lottery winners will no longer appear in news releases. Jerry speaks with Tony Bitonti, OLG spokesperson, about why the shift is happening and what it means for privacy and transparency. Canada will get a new Governor General. Jerry speaks with Craig Baird, historian and host of Canadian History Ehx , about the role’s importance, and the last time a Governor General had to hold a government to account. The show wraps up with Jerry’s thoughts on a new Ontario law that caps resale prices, a move that has frustrated many season‑ticket holders.
