Greg Brady & the panel of: Stephanie Smyth, Toronto—St. Paul MPP Brad Bradford, Toronto city councillor for Beaches - East York Mark Saunders, former Toronto police chief, mayoral candidate Discuss: 1 - Temporary hotel funding ends - feds had spent at least $1.2B on it - cities now under pressure, Toronto amongst them, and yet no ask for a re-frame or re-think about asylum qualifications or fixing the system from Mayor Chow - just an ask for $. How do you see this? She's fine to ask for it - it only makes the issues grow, does it not? 2 - Two terrible scooter accidents in GTA involving 12 and 10 year olds. TERRIBLE to hear of, yet not sure lack of legislation impacts this. I was pleased to see a bunch of tickets handed out in Toronto for illegal use of them.
