Description

Jerry opens the show by talking about Artemis II as it prepares for its moon‑orbit mission today. Jerry admits he’s underwhelmed because we are only passing the moon, but should he be excited? He speaks with Jesse Rogerson, astrophysicist and assistant professor at York University, about why this mission matters.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is heading to Texas to talk trade and tariffs. Jerry asks former Toronto mayor John Tory whether these trade talks are meaningful.

Jerry then turns to dynamic pricing, as Old Navy experiments with real‑time price changes. He speaks with Francis Syms, Associate Dean of Information and Communications Technology at Humber Polytechnic, about how dynamic pricing works and whether consumers should brace for more of it.

Then, a look at the TTC’s financial challenges with higher costs and fewer riders than in 2019. Staff warn that even winning riders back won’t fix the system’s structural problems. Jerry speaks with Karen Stintz, political commentator and former TTC chair.
