Guest: Raymond Hall. Former Air Canada captain, past president of the Air Canada Pilots Association and lawyer We revisited with our guests of 24 hours ago the issue of the rail strike/lockout and their dire predictions for Canadians when they joined us yesterday. Are they optimistic, is the delivery of $-billions in goods already too far behind to be resolved quickly? What must be done to end these rotating hits to our national economy and the well-being of Canadians (including holding on to jobs)? Guest: Dan Kelly. President/CEO, Canadian Federation of Independent Business Guest: Ron Foxcroft, Owner FLUKE Transport trucking firm in Hamilton, ON, chaiman of FOX 40 Industries (importer and exporter)  A British Columbia class-action lawsuit against the B.C. and federal governments over the safer supply drug program is waiting for certification. The suit alleges government-funded 8mg hydromorphone pills (dillies) and other so-called safe supply drugs provided to addicts led to more addictions and death when these safer supply drugs were sold by addicts to mainly teens. One of the lead plaintiffs is Gregory Sword, father of 14-year-old Kamilah who died after ingesting "dillies" purchased from a dealer of safer drugs. Mr. Sword has been a guest on our program. Also: The Ford government in Ontario is ordering the closure of safe (drug) consumption sites within 200 meters of schools across the province. Kindly explain what the 'H' these sites were doing within 200 meters of schools in the first instance. Guest: Adam Zivo. Exec Dir. Centre for Responsible Drug Policy A point raised repeatedly during yesterday's program as we spoke of the Canada-wide rail shutdown was that food supplies would face increasing difficulty reaching grocery store shelves and that food prices would increase. Got us to thinking about the new Statscan information about the numbers of Canadian families facing food insecurity, The early 2024 numbers are increasingly disturbing. 45% of Canadians reported rising prices were greatly affecting their ability to meet day-to-day expenses (including food). - In 2023, 8.7 million people, including 2.1 million children, lived in households reporting food insecurity in Canada, an increase of 1.8 million people from the previous year.  Consider the combined populations of Calgary and Edmonton are just over 3 million.  Guest: Professor Valerie Tarasuk. University of Toronto.

A point raised repeatedly during yesterday's program as we spoke of the Canada-wide rail shutdown was that food supplies would face increasing difficulty reaching grocery store shelves and that food prices would increase. Got us to thinking about the new Statscan information about the numbers of Canadian families facing food insecurity, The early 2024 numbers are increasingly disturbing. 45% of Canadians reported rising prices were greatly affecting their ability to meet day-to-day expenses (including food). - In 2023, 8.7 million people, including 2.1 million children, lived in households reporting food insecurity in Canada, an increase of 1.8 million people from the previous year.  Consider the combined populations of Calgary and Edmonton are just over 3 million.  Guest: Professor Valerie Tarasuk. University of Toronto. Founding investigator of PROOF, U of T effort to identify policy interventions to reduce household food insecurity in Canada. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A British Columbia class-action lawsuit against the B.C. and federal governments over the safer supply drug program is waiting for certification. The suit alleges government-funded 8mg hydromorphone pills (dillies) and other so-called safe supply drugs provided to addicts led to more addictions and death when these safer supply drugs were sold by addicts to mainly teens. One of the lead plaintiffs is Gregory Sword, father of 14 year old Kamilah who died after ingesting "dillies" purchased from a dealer of safer drugs. Mr. Sword has been a guest on our program. Also: The Ford government in Ontario is ordering the closure of safe (drug) consumption sites within 200 meters of schools across the province. Kindly explain what the 'H' these sites were doing within 200 meters of schools in the first instance.
