Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Amanda Galbraith fills in for Deb today
Q: What would you advise the Prime Minister to do about age-related social media policies?
Advise adopting a duty-to-act responsibly for platforms, mandating risk mitigation and clear accountability, plus moving toward a principles-based regulatory framework with plain-language consent and robust privacy safeguards.
Another big weekend of events coming up. How will congestion be impacted?
Q: How do you feel about this policy change in terms of access to care versus cost containment, particularly for vulnerable populations?
We need to ensure that essential care remains accessible to all, with a healthcare standard that doesn't penalize people for their financial situation, especially newcomers and those with lower incomes.
Another big weekend of events coming up. How will congestion be impacted?
Q: What's wrong from the Canadian Medical Association's perspective with a relatively minimal copay for prescriptions and non-urgent, non-acute care services?
The CMA argues that even small copays can create barriers for newly arrived refugees who may have unstable living situations, risking harm by delaying medications or care, and that access to care should not depend on ability to pay.
Another big weekend of events coming up. How will congestion be impacted?
Q: So talk to me a little bit about what goes into that decision making. I mean, do you have the ability to say to council or to say to the mayor's office, we had a rain date, we're gonna have to shut down the Don Valley Parkway?
The planning for closures is done months in advance with contracts and coordination with TTC and Metrolinx; it's not a last-minute decision, and we consider weather, events, and overall system impact to minimize disruption.
Homelessness encampments in Toronto are down 70%.
Q: What is the rationale behind the Bathurst Street building purchase and subsequent plan to give it away?
Brad Bradford questions the transparency and due process, asking what safeguards were in place during negotiations and why a city asset was acquired and then disposed of so quickly; the discussion centers on ensuring taxpayer dollars are stewarded responsibly.
