Island Airport Politics | Giant Flags | Branding & Dupes | Condo Board Rules
Description
Mark Towhey hosts the Jerry Agar show today and opens with commentary on Olivia Chow’s motion demanding the Island Airport land back from Doug Ford, calling it brilliant mayoral campaign politics.
Mark then takes calls on giant flags: What is the saddest, sickliest‑looking Canada flag in your neighbourhood? Who should enforce proper flag etiquette? Should fines exist for disrespecting it?
Next, Mark speaks with Marvin Ryder, associate professor of marketing at McMaster University, about whether Coca‑Cola is leaning too hard on its Marlboro‑style branding. Plus: Do consumers care if a product is a knockoff at one‑third the price?
Mark then takes calls asking: Can your condo board police who sleeps in your home? A Mississauga building has a rule that does!
