Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Toronto Charging You More Than Your Neighbour?
Q: But talk to me about the motion that was on the floor today for surveillance pricing.
The guest explains that this was a late-breaking proposal in a heated council debate, noting questions about whether City Hall even has the jurisdiction to compel private businesses and the symbolic nature of the move in an election year.
Are you looking at a new choice for where your kid goes to school?
Q: Is there real will among provinces to reduce trade barriers, and what are the main barriers to address?
Dan Tisch responds that political priority, accountability, and enforcement are key; progress is happening but requires ongoing leadership from premiers and ministers to harmonize rules and improve mobility.
Are you looking at a new choice for where your kid goes to school?
Q: What about the quality comparison between private/home schooling and public schooling, especially for math and post-secondary preparation?
The guest highlights disparities in requirements (private/home schooling not always needing Ontario-certified teachers or EQAO tests) and discusses how private/homeschool outcomes can differ, emphasizing the need for objective data and better alignment with standard curricula.
Are you looking at a new choice for where your kid goes to school?
Q: Have you considered private education for yourself or for your kids?
The guest explains growing interest in private options and micro-schools, noting a trend toward choosing alternatives to government education while acknowledging the existence of strong independent schools with certified teachers.
Brad Bradford wants to hire 1000 new cops
Q: Why does your plan call for 1,000 net new frontline police officers, and how does that translate into tangible safety improvements?
The plan is grounded in data showing Toronto lags behind peer cities in officer per 100,000 residents, and the investment is positioned to bring us in line with cities like Vancouver and Montreal, with data-driven budgeting and a clear rollout over the first term.
