Guest: Grant LaFleche, investigative reporter Ontario is the wild west when it comes to regulations for ownership of exotic animals and the running of zoos and other animal exhibitions. This has led to some people opening roadside zoos in rural communities, leaving local governments dealing with all kind of problems including attacks and bites. There is also consideration for the animals, as there are no real requirements for a standard of care or for the owner to have proper animal handling certification. This has led to some gruesome outcomes. Grant LaFleche, an investigative reporter at the St. Catharines Standard and member of The Star's investigations team, joins “This Matters” to talk about Ontario's Tiger King and an exotic animal's grisly death.

Guests: Susan Delacourt, Toronto Star national political columnist and Grant LaFleche, investigative reporter for the Star and St. Catharines Standard Forget the election issues. The biggest story of Canada's federal election campaign so far has been the protesters disrupting the rallies of Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and the harassment towards other candidates like NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. And now, the disruption has been escalating to aggressive and dangerous behaviour. Over the Labour Day weekend, members of the anti-lockdown, anti-vaccination crowd threw stones at Trudeau after a campaign event. Who are these protesters? How did Canadian politics get this toxic and dangerous? What kind of Canada will we have after Sept. 20, 2021? We report from the campaign trail and inside the network of raging protesters. 

In this episode the guys debrief from the last episode with Grant Lafleche.

Grant joins Brandon, Jeff and Trevor in this episode to talk about the reporting behind COVID, the research involved before publishing a story as well as the fact that other stories are still being covered but often get overlooked because of COVID being at the forefront.

He has been unapologetic in his skepticism of the effectiveness of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and the science behind them.He also found himself in hot water more than once for trolling Niagara Region Coun. Laura Ip of St. Catharines, using crude, hateful terms in the process.In late March, Fannon uploaded a podcast on streaming service BitChute titled “Radical Feminist Pigs and My Twitter Rage and Hate.” For much of the show, he insulted and degraded Ip.Fannon spent most of the 39-minute video attacking Ip for what he sees as disrespectful Tweets about religion, at one point calling her a “f--ing bigot pig.” He also said he “hates feminists.” During the podcast Fannon also called Ip a “c--t.”This past weekend, Fannon was at it again. He retweeted a three-year-old post from Ip criticizing controversial Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson. That roused the keyboard warriors who worship Peterson and harass her.Ip was already under attack by social media trolls for speaking her mind, an ongoing issue in her first-term on council. By Monday, she had enough and called police about some of the abuse which had become threatening.St. Catharines city Coun. Karrie Porter took to Twitter and defended Ip Wednesday after word of the mayors' planned appearances became public.In an interview Thursday, Porter, who has also been troubled by trolls, questioned why the mayors would appear with Fannon and amplify his platform — especially after Fannon's treatment of a regional council colleague.“If you are at work, and you work on a team, and then a couple of your teammates, who you might not always agree with, decide to go on a podcast with someone who has said vile things about you and your family, I'm left to wonder why?“Is it supposed to send a message? The message I'm receiving is that they are all right with it.”Region Chair Jim Bradley has gone on the record several times this term to express his expectation that councillors will conduct themselves in ways consistent with their code of conduct.“It is important that councillors take into account the ramifications of any actions they take or statements they make,” he said.Both Bylsma and Diodati defended their decisions to appear on Fannon's show.“Dave Bylsma answers for Dave Bylsma,” he said. “Jim Fannon is not the first media person or show host that I disagree with. He won't be the last.”Diodati has been on Fannon's show before, to discuss his recovery from cancer. That segment was a much more conventional interview that had none of Fannon's trademark rants.Diodati asked not to be judged until people hear the coming interview.“My idea is I want to send a message and talk about diversity,” Diodati said. “COVID has not brought out the best in people, and their feelings have been amplified — anxiety, anger, depression.“My thinking is that going on his show is not an endorsement. I don't see it that way at all. If someone else thinks that, I respect that, but we will have to agree to disagree.“I want to shine light in the darkest corners, and if that involves me under challenging discussions, so be it.“We have lots of keyboard critics, and it comes with the job, but nobody should make assumptions about what my motives are.”In late August of 2020, Diodati launched a campaign against online harassment and hate.At the time, Diodati said he's creating a social media neutral zone, echoing comments made at the time by Ip and others about online attacks.In an interview at the time, Diodati said he will no longer allow people to post “hurtful, hateful, vengeful and venomous” comments on his social media pages.“If other people want to allow it on theirs, that's their business. But I'm saying publicly, upfront, think before you hit the send button because I will delete your comments and I will block you.”Fannon, for his part, said his comments about Ip in the spring were a throwaway during the broadcast.“I had her on my radio show. I took an instant liking to her. I loved that she is intelligent and well-spoken, but I'm not a lefty anymore, and I don't believe the things I used to believe.”On Thursday night, Fannon was back online attacking Ip, during which he called her “a dumb f--king c--t” and then said “it's funny.”Bill SawchukBill Sawchuk is a St. Catharines-based reporter with the Standard.
