Jane Brown is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine, David Cravit, Chief Membership Officer of CARP, and Bill VanGorder, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Policy Officer of CARP. Today: We begin by doing a recap of the Zoomers who won BIG during last night's Grammy Awards including Willie Nelson who won best country album. Meanwhile, here at home, the province is looking into increasing fines for long-term care homes that do not have AC in all residents' rooms. The max. fine would be $25,000 if they choose to increase it. And, this Tuesday, Ottawa is set to meet with the country's premiers to discuss a healthcare funding deal. What will come out of that?  Our panel has the latest. ---- WHAT IS UP WITH THAT CHINESE SURVEILLANCE BALLOON Jane Brown is now joined by Charles Burton, Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and expert on Canada-China relations as well as  Cheuk Kwan of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China. The latest reason for Canada and the U.S.'s escalating tensions with China? A Chinese surveillance balloon. So, first of all, what exactly do we know about this balloon so far? And, how did it cross into both Canadian and American air space? finally, what implications does it have on our already strained relationship with China? The Americans eventually shot down the balloon over the Atlantic Ocean. And there was apparently a second balloon spotted over Latin America. Our experts weigh in on the latest. ---- THE FUTURE OF THE OSGOODE HALL TREES Jane Brown is now joined by Steve Munro, a Toronto transit advocate. Metrolinx's planned removal of the trees at Osgoode Hall in downtown Toronto is being stalled until at least February 10. Advocates have been visibly showing their concern over the future of this greenspace and Steve explains how it's all being handled in the courts. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

Canada's transportation minister Omar Alghabra will be holding a summit to address the upcoming holiday travel season. The minister says he is working to improve the situation of delays at the airports and improve efficiency with the airlines and says that his ministry is working to ensure more staff for the airports and airlines. But with the holiday season just a month away, does he have the time and resources to get this done successfully? The summit will include stakeholders from the airlines and airports. And, the minister had this to say about why it is happening: “We cannot go back to what we saw last summer." And, Marty is on site at Pearson International Airport awaiting to board a flight. He gives us first-hand observations of what is going on there. CANADA SOCCER AT THE WORLD CUP IN QATAR Libby Znaimer is joined by Bob Richardson, a member of the board of directors for Canada Soccer. Today, Canada faces off against Belgium in the world cup in host country Qatar. But, what is more remarkable than that is the fact that Canada is making its first appearance in the event in 36 years. So, how did we get here? And, what does this all mean for Canada on the world stage? Bob was also just recently featured in the Toronto Life list of most influential Torontonians for bringing the future world cup to our City in 2026 (which will be joint hosted by the US and Mexico as well). METROLINX'S PLANS TO UPROOT HISTORIC TREES AT OSGOODE HALL Libby Znaimer is joined by Steve Munro, a Toronto transit advocate followed by Mike Schreiner, leader of the Green Party of Ontario. Metrolinx has plans to cut down five trees in the historic grove at Osgoode Hall as part of its Ontario Line project and has notified the Law Society of Ontario that it will begin doing so on Dec. 5th or earlier. Our guests today explain why this is a bad idea and the damage it will do to the historic urban forest land that has been preserved for more than 200 years according to the law society.

Jo Clare, Oakridge's Senior Consultant, discusses with Steve Munro, “How can I encourage growth mindset and change readiness in my team?” Jo discusses how in communicating change to teams, it's important to allow the thinking brain to get back into action and as leaders, giving teams time to take things on board and not expecting an initial reaction but asking people to give themselves time to think about it, in order to lead them to the right point to create a positive future and develop agility within the team. It's about bringing vision and empathy and clarity and developing the agility in the team. Jo also discusses ensuring leaders embrace with the emotional and growth and fixed mindsets within the team, and how that within differing EQi outcomes within the team, how leaders need to manage this effectively to gain insight into their Strengths, Values and Purpose which in turn leads to Commitment and Collaboration and Diversity of thinking within teams. Jo uses the equation – E + R = O (Event + Reaction = Outcome) and the Path of Possibility Vs the Path of Limitations.

To many, being a BBC producer sounds like the dream job. It certainly gave Dave and Carmen Allan-Petale a good bragging story at cocktail parties. But deep down, neither of them were happy with their high flying career jobs in London.  While at a seminar in Portugal, the two Aussie natives heard some travel bloggers talking about their lifestyle and it ticked all the boxes…could they do it too? With some savings to their name, they headed off 2 years ago to start their journey. They’ve travelled through North and South America, the Caribbean and a good chunk of Asia, saving money along the way…yes you heard me right, these two make a living while copywriting along the road and are able to live comfortably on around US$2000 per month! You’ll enjoy their sense of humor on this interview, and can find out more about their travels on their blog www.double-barreltravel.com where they have recently launched their book  “ Make Your Travels Appy” where Carmen reviews 50 of the top travel apps that can save you time and money while you travel. (Check out the book here on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0166JPL8E ) What I learned from speaking with Carmen & Dave: If you’re building business, Linkedin can be a great tool to help. You can find out who has been looking at your profile and follow them up. Something most other forms of social media don’t give you the opportunity to do. Always carry business cards, even if you work online. There are lots of times where you can pick up business face to face so miss the opportunities when they come along If you planning to go travelling, get some savings behind you to take the pressure off This provided Carmen and Dave with a buffer to enable them to choose their work when the time was right Remember there are plenty of hubs you can work from in the world when you travel. These guys spent a period of time at Hubud in Bali and have seen nothing but growth happening in this type of working environment. Don’t forget we’ve also got we’ve got a link to the interview with Steve Munro from Hubud on this podcast page so you can check out more about them. Travel can be lonely. Attending Travel Conferences can provide you support from like-minded people who get what you do. It can be a lonely world for the perpetual traveler. If you are looking to develop your travel blog, conferences like TBEX can be a great way to learn and grow.
