Description
It’s time for Party for Two! Today Jerry is joined by Sabrina Nanji from the Queen’s Park Observer, to break down the top political stories of the day.
Jerry then speaks with Philip Cross, former chief economic analyst for Statistics Canada, about why young workers are not experiencing the “resilient” economy politicians keep talking about.
Next, Jerry turns to City Hall spending. Justin Holmes, reporter with the Toronto Sun, weighs in on revelations that the city’s shelters division spent $300 million on sole‑source contracts.
Youth radicalization is rising in Canada, according to a new CSIS report. Jerry speaks with Kelly Sundberg, Professor of Criminology at Mount Royal University, about this.
