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 - Ontario proposes to rebate HST for some first-time homebuyers: Not perfect but it's a start, should the rebate apply to all new primary residence purchases and not just first time homebuyers? Should homes over $1.5 million also qualify for the full rebate? 2 - Clearly still a ton of work to do regarding the TTC being efficient. But more people in the city means more cars on the road (people back to work as well) and congestion will be significant. Does this have an easy answer? 3 -Burlington man issued bylaw warning for Halloween decorations: fair or foul? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Greg Brady and the panel of: Steve Paikin, Author and Broadcaster, host of The Paikin Podcast, Chloe Brown, policy analyst and former Toronto mayoral candidate, Discuss: 1 - Carney says trade talks with U.S. ‘had been making progress' until Ontario anti-tariff ad: Everyone one blaming Ford for this, but if Carney saw it before it aired shouldn't he have said not to, or did he know it would torpedo talks and he let it happen because they weren't close to a deal and he buys more time? 2 - Ontario to scrap fixed election dates, raise donation limit to $5,000 under new bill. We don't really have fixed election dates anyway - useless legislation, isn't it? Both incumbent parties in Canada/Ontario couldn't wait to get a new mandate almost exclusively based on Trump and tariffs. 3 - Alberta sends teachers back to work Wednesday, it seems. Can't think of more “essential services” than a kid's education - but it's always a clash between a centrist/right provincial government and teacher unions now - is education just too political? 4 - Canada Could Get MLB Expansion Team, Manfred Says - better place - VANCOUVER or MONTREAL?

Greg Brady and the panel of: Anthony Furey, columnist, 640 Toronto Contributor and former mayoral candidate Caryma Sa'd, lawyer and protest watcher Discuss: 1 - How bout them Jays? 2 - Poll shows Chow's support crumbling, majority want new mayor: Will you be running for mayor Anthony? 3 - Ford government walks back on plan to consider changes to renters' right to ‘security of tenure': Did the Ford government do the right thing by backing off the plan? Is this a sign the government might try again to roll back renter protections later? Would weakening renter rights actually help build more housing, or just make life harder for tenants? 4 - Caryma's photographer/cameraperson got in a physical confrontation with embattled CUPE Ontario union leader Fred Hahn - the video, to me, seems to show Hahn hitting down on what I assume are the arms of your guy with a large sign. What DID happen? You confronted him about it - he didn't even have the courage to look you in the eyes and address it…..was a complaint filed w/ police? Learn more about your ad choices.

Greg Brady and the panel of: Ben Mulroney, Host of the Ben Mulroney Show 9 to Noon on the Corus Radio Network, Bryan Passifiume, Toronto Sun National politics reporter Discuss: 1 - Trump says trade talks with Canada 'terminated' over anti-tariffs advert: How do you not get permission from the estate with something like this?

Trump did say if he was Canada he would do the same thing but where do we go from here? 2 - Heat's Rozier and Trail Blazers' Billups charged in sports betting and Mafia-backed poker schemes: With legal sports betting now so widespread, isn't it inevitable that schemes like this will emerge?

Even if Trudeau was charged and convicted what would that look like? 2 - Final test of Eglinton Crosstown paused after incident last week, province says: Should there be a public inquiry into the Eglinton LRT? How can the province ensure major projects like this are finished on time and not delayed for seemingly forever 3 - Brampton Amber Alert suspect killed in officer-involved shooting: Should the provincial/federal governments be looking at calling IPV an epidemic? Should opposition parties be calling for harsher sentences? He was out on bail for a 2023 crime with trial scheduled for 2026, this seems totally preventable doesn't it?

The Housing Minister got this wrong early in his tenure - this feels more on track, yes? 3 - Any more thoughts about the auto industry - new report says there's potential for a deal, promised ages ago by the PM (for stability, cost certainty) but not involving automobiles.

Greg Brady and the panel of: Anthony Furey, columnist and 640 Toronto Contributor, Kim Wright, Founder and Principal of Wright Strategies, Discuss: 1 - Millions turned out for anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests across US: Everyone gets their opinions on Trump but they JUST had an election 49 weeks ago. The people spoke. He's doing more than some Trump voters would like that's bad, and less than others. Same as Carney, same as anyone. What was the point of this? Is this an effective way to fight fascism? 2 - 10 years since Justin Trudeau was elected - what are your recollections of him coming to power, changing conversations in Canada - and are there genuine accomplishments that aren't getting talked about because of his considerable unpopularity by his end? 3 - Short, intense session set for Queen's Park after 137-day break: PCs set to ban speed cameras this week – I'm still stuck on the benefits of this for Ford. Why not tweak and really tighten up the where and when? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
