The Ontario government is eyeing a shift in its water management operations. It's a move Premier Ford insists is nothing like what the Harris government did back in 2000, when seven people died and thousands fell ill after E. Coli was found in Walkerton's water drinking supply. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Meera Karunananthan, assistant professor at Carleton University to discuss Ontario's Water and Wastewater Public Corporations Act, the implications of allowing water operations to be overseen by for-profit models, and how Ontarians can fight back against the potential new changes.

As we witness escalating threats from the Trump regime, which may lead to military ambitions in Greenland and potentially jeopardize NATO alliances, the implications for Canada are profound. Add to that the alarming trend of America morphing into a police state right before our eyes, and the negative influence of foreign media ownership in Canada promoting MAGA propaganda—it's clear we are at a crossroads.Moreover, the resignation of Quebec Premier Legault and the pro-American sentiments expressed by Premier Ford reflect a shifting political landscape that demands our attention and action.

A Brampton city councillor says speeding incidents more than doubled in her community the week after the Ontario government ended speed camera ticketing; Premier Ford says his government has signed a deal to allow a road that will provide eventual access to the mineral-rich Ring of Fire area; and, why you should be careful if you get a call from someone claiming there are false charges on your credit card.

Tenants across Ontario were already mobilizing against Bill 60 when a bombshell dropped...Premier Ford floated an idea that would have stripped renters of almost all their rights.The good news: organizations like York-South Weston Tenants Union had already put in the work and created a structure that could quickly gather folks together and harness the energy that it generated. They were able to get the Premier to back off, but the work is not done.Hear from An, one of the organizers from YSW Tenants Union, about how they've mobilized hundreds of volunteers to not just push back against pending legislation, but to continue building the Tenant Class for more fights that are sure to come.

It was a quick post-and-delete from the Ontario government, after Premier Ford's $75M anti-tariff commercial broadcasted on American televisions, pissed off President Trump, and received some harsh penalties in return. Trump said the content in the ad was fake, and went as far as suspending all trade negotiations with Canada as a result. A few days later, it seemed a new fury arose from the White House, with Trump slapping an additional 10% tariff on Canadian goods for not taking the commercial down fast enough.Trade negotiations have been going on for months, but after Prime Minister Carney returned from two U.S. trips with no trade deal, Canadian leaders seem to be having a hard time sitting on their hands in the meantime. Host Richard Southern speaks to John Wright, CEO of Canada Pulse Insights, to discuss the fallout of the premier's move, and what Carney needs to do to make sure all of Canada remains on the same page on the fight against Trump.

Their general reaction is that his "rambly technocratic" presentation missed the mark: it failed to provide concrete plans to improve the lives of young Canadians in attendance. They also discuss Premier Ford's remarkable political staying power and polling numbers. They explore Ford's populist retail politics and whether his political brand could translate nationally, as well as the overlap between Ford supporters and federal Liberal voters who voted for Prime Minister Carney.

It's a feeling you only want to feel once - the panic of suspecting an abrupt light flash as you're driving, only to receive a ticket in the mail a few weeks later with a picture of your car next to an owed-amount for speeding. Well, it's a feeling Ontarians soon won't be feeling ever again.Premier Ford plans to put pen to paper on his dislike for speed enforcement cameras, announcing last week his government's incoming legislation to ban them in a fight against what he calls a 'cash-grab', after the fact safety tool. Instead, he's investing to help municipalities implement speed bumps, round abouts and other traffic-calming measures. But it's a move that's garnered as much support as it has pushback, with groups pleading with Ford to think twice before canning a tool that saves lives and makes drivers think twice before using their heavy foot. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Benjamin Wolfe, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, and Co-Director of the Applied Perception and Psychophysics Laboratory to discuss what the changes in road safety measures could look like, and how driver behaviour is influenced way before someone gets in their car and turns the key.

Lately, speed cameras in this city and neighbouring cities have become a symbol and target of people's rage. The Parkside Drive speed camera was erected when this spot saw a horrific and fatal crash in 2021, due to speeding. It is now Toronto's most prolific speed cam and was recently cut down by vandals for the seventh time in eleven months. And earlier this month 16 cameras across the city were taken out in a single night. This week, three more have come down. The City of Vaughan has decided to remove speed cameras all together after rolling out its program just earlier this year. Premier Ford has voiced his disdain for speed cameras and some individuals vocally echo him. Community safety organizations and reports, however, say they're effective. We're joined today by Toronto Star's resident Speed Cam man, Raju Mudhar, to give us the facts while we zoom out and chat about what all of this may really be about.

Prime Minister Mark Carney received friendly fire from one of his biggest provincial supporters Tuesday, as Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he was 'getting concerned' about an 'almost elbows down' response to U.S. tariffs before dumping out a bottle of Crown Royal.

Guest: Andy Takagi, Toronto Star transportation reporter  Premier Ford says he's pitching an unprecedented plan to tackle one of the GTA's biggest headaches; gridlock on Highway 401, the busiest road in North America. His vision is a single three-level tunnel running under the highway, which could stretch from Brampton to Scarborough. He outlined the concept at an unrelated press conference this week, but he's been talking about it for nearly a year. Ford says this will serve people for decades to come, but a two-year feasibility study has just begun, and experts are raising questions about the costs, the timelines and whether this would actually ease traffic congestion.  We take a look at what Ford is proposing, why experts say it might not work and what it could mean for commuters and communities along the  401.  Audio sources: CP24 Produced by Saba Eitizaz and Sean Pattenden
