How much longer can Ford laugh off these allegations? Mayor of Swingstown. It was a Friday night surprise when Toronto Mayor John Tory came out and announced that he's resigning his office after the Toronto Star exposed that Tory had an inappropriate relationship with a female staffer. It seems like a boneheaded move from the someone who was supposed to be the face of technocratic, business-like management at City Hall, so why did Tory screw up so badly, and does this provide Toronto a rare opportunity to examine what kind of mayor they want and need? The Post Dangerous Year. February 24 will mark one-year since the start of the full Russian invasion of Ukraine, and many people have an eye on Moscow to see if their planning a commemoration of sorts.

We need the government to push out the bad operators who are preying on homes in the midst of a staffing crisis.”

 The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: He's a politician you'd never suspect of having an office sex scandal. Will this be the outgoing Toronto mayor's legacy? GUEST: Steve Paikin, Host of ‘The Agenda' on TVO - Canada's economy added a stunning 150,000 jobs last month. It's the second straight month that jobs numbers blew well past expectations. And it's yet one more data point that challenges the narrative that Canada needs to shed jobs to bring inflation under control. Economic theory tells us that unemployment and inflation are inextricably linked. As unemployment falls and more people work, inflation increases. And as unemployment increases, inflation drops. But that's not what's happening here. GUEST: Ian Lee, Associate Professor with the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University - Canada's premiers say the offer from the federal government for 46-billion dollars in additional health-care funding is nowhere near what they asked for...but new money cannot be turned down. They decided to formally accept the prime minister's offer from last week. What are the next steps?

Good afternoon panel! A couple of things from the past week. Last weekend, I had a listener meetup with Liz and friends to try my hand at pheasant hunting  Great to meet up with like minded individuals.  Had a great day, but no luck with the hunt. On my way to and from the hunting area, I thought that I would expand my listening library and take in some of the CCFR podcast episodes.  After listening to 4 episodes, I believe that I now have a better understanding of Rod Giltaca.  Or not.  It seems to me that one of the favourite subjects to speak on is "Things I have done".  I am sure that the CCFR as an organization does good work on behalf of Canadian firearms owners, but to paraphrase Adhemar from the movie "A Knight's Tale", the podcast has been weighed, has been measured, and has been found wanting.  Frankly, I expected a little more.  Thoughts on that? Secondly, another appropriate movie reference. My utter contempt and loathing for all things federal government related has been "turned up to 11", after the shenanigans pulled with C21 this past week.  Clearly the idiots in Ottawa do not know the difference between an "amendment" and a "complete rewrite"! (FYI, the movie was "This is Spinal Tap", if you were not aware) Looking forward to this week's discussion! Best Regards, Eric   From: Gerry RE: Amend This Episode Hello, I appreciate the effort and content you put in the podcasts, but the Amend This episode will be my last. Hearing a person refer to firearms as “weapons of mass destruction” and stating “you have the right to hunt even though you don't need to”  in this episode is counter productive and divisive to people who value freedom. The ability to take care of yourself or your family whether it be fishing, hunting or growing food is an essential skill worth learning and may be useful given the situation we face. Marksmanship and accuracy are worthwhile and respectable  pursuits that should join the sport shooting and hunting communities. The aforementioned commentary is neither accurate or respectable. Thank you for the past episodes and I wish you the best in future endeavours.

It was determined to have been stolen during a break-and-enter in 2021. -260 charges against the six suspects -One suspect, 27-year-old Syed Mohammed Ali Zaidi, is also facing additional charges in relation to a shooting that took place inside Bar Karma near Queen and Portland streets on Oct. 19, 2021. -three AK-type rifles, one of which was loaded with 61 rounds of ammunition,” as well as 15 “AR-15 type carbine style rifles.” -Toronto Mayor John Tory called it an “excellent piece of police work.” But he said it is a reminder of the work that needs to be done to reduce the flows of guns that come into Canada via the U.S. border. “I think we can't rely on local police services to find the people trafficking these guns. That means they're already here and the best place to cut this off is at the border, to stop the guns from coming across from the US, which is where they're coming from,” he said. “Perhaps we could work with the Government of Canada to do more of this. It is a border matter. But it is a serious, serious problem and it is leading to death and trauma in communities.” -Syed Mohammed Ali Zaidi, 27, of Toronto, has been charged with: Conspiracy to Commit an Indictable Offense four counts of Possession for the Purpose of Weapon Trafficking 51 counts of Possession of a Loaded Prohibited or Restricted Firearm Possession of a Prohibited Device or Ammunition Contrary to Prohibition Order eight counts of Possession of a Firearm Knowing its Possession is Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm or Ammunition Contrary to Prohibition Order Possession of Proceeds of Crime Over $5000 Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5000 Trudeau Listening to concerns about hunting rifles https://www.durhamradionews.com/archives/162603 -the prime minister framed the amendment as a “list put forward” by the government for public consultation. “We're hearing a lot of feedback around concerns that hunters are saying about guns that they use more for hunting, hunting rifles and shotguns,”  he said. “That's what we're listening to feedback on now, to make sure we're not capturing weapons that are primarily hunting weapons.” "That's what we're listening to feedback on now—to make sure that we're not capturing weapons that are primarily hunting weapons," PM Trudeau tells media when asked whether he'd consider changes to Bill C-21 amendment amid concerns re: expanded prohibited firearms list. Gun ban calls into question NDP support  https://nationalpost.com/news/liberal-gun-control-bill-raises-questions-about-ndp-support?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1670277118 -One prominent New Democrat came out against the policy on Monday, calling it a massive overreach that must be fixed. -Meanwhile, the national conversation on gun control took an interesting turn over the weekend after Montreal Canadiens' netminder and avid hunter Carey Price weighed in on the issue on social media. -Price's timing of his announcement so close to the anniversary are also being roundly criticized. The team's owner told Radio-Canada on Monday that the 35-year-old Price was not aware of the 1989 massacre. “I am not a criminal or a threat to society,” he posted to Instagram, along with a photo of him wearing camouflage hunting gear and cradling a shotgun. “What @justinpjtrudeau is trying to do is unjust. I support the @ccfr_ccdaf (Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights) to keep my hunting tools.” -Separately, a spokesperson for Public Security Minister Marco Mendicino told La Presse that the firearm Price is carrying in his Instagram post would not be banned under Bill C-21. “Our bill does not target firearms currently used for hunting and we fully respect the traditions of hunters and Indigenous Peoples,” Audrey Champoux said in a statement. -political science Professor Kathy Brock said gun control offers a unique dilemma to the NDP, who rely heavily on both inner-city voters and those in rural parts of the country. “This one is very difficult for the NDP to find a united consensus position on,” she told the National Post. “They are putting the NDP in a very difficult position that could cause a bit of a schism and tension in the relationship between the NDP and Liberals, but also within the NDP party.” -Veteran NDP MP Charlie Angus who represents Timmins-James Bay, a vast northern Ontario riding encompassing nearly 252,000 sq. km. and a diverse range of rural cities, villages and First Nations communities, is speaking out. This is a good article on how the Liberal government promise to ban hand guns morphed into a massive overreach including hunting rifles and shotguns.

Guest: David Rider, City Hall Bureau Chief With an eye to an ambitious Ford government housing plan, Toronto Mayor John Tory asked for and received even stronger mayoral powers than he already had been given over the summer. It was a move that caused an uproar in municipal politics. While some councillor called it a power grab, others are calling it an unprecedented, undemocratic move that will sideline councillors even further.

Toronto Mayor John Tory is one of many old faces returning to city hall, there are a number of new faces as well, including Toronto's first hijab-wearing city councillor; here's how the Ontario government is addressing the housing affordability crisis in the province; and, an Ontario family says after their approved rental application for a Brampton unit was rescinded, they didn't get their $1,800 deposit back.

Ontarians head to the polls on Oct. 24 to vote for their municipal governments. And while some storylines seems set—Toronto Mayor John Tory looks poised to win for a third time—races in Vaughan, Ottawa, Hamilton, Richmond Hill and Brampton are far less certain. The outcomes are even less predictable given how low voter turnout was in the province's 2018 municipal elections, when just 38 per cent of eligible voters cast their ballots. What does all this mean for Jewish voters? To analyze the issues, we're joined by Steve Adler, a lobbyist with the communications strategy firm NATIONAL. Adler previously worked around the Ontario legislature with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, and has been watching the 2022 municipal elections closely, including what's going on with various district school boards, which have become frequent battlegrounds between Zionists and Palestinian activists.

ZOOMER SQUAD: THIS MARCH MARKS TWO YEARS SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN Jane Brown is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by a slightly different Zoomer Squad: Bill VanGorder, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Policy Officer of CARP, and Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs. This month marks 2 years since the pandemic began and dramatically changed the world. Canada's long-term care sector experienced an unprecedented crisis, we were forced to isolate from family, friends and loved ones during regular times and important holidays and snowbirds experienced disruptions to their travel plans.

Ontario eased most of its COVID-19 restrictions and that means businesses are no longer required to ask you for your proof of vaccination. Also, this month, it is expected that the province will be lifting its mandate on mask-wearing.

Fed up with its growing goose problem, the city has implemented an initiative to round up its Canada geese and process them into food for "needy families," There are an estimated 5,000 geese living in the city, which has been trying to manage its goose population for more than 15 years and they are aggressive, dirty and taking over. So they started rounding them up on Canada day and processing them for the poor.
