Ford Identifies Three Major Routes For Bike Lane Removal

TUNE INTO THE TOWN: FORD IDENTIFIES THREE MAJOR ROUTES FOR BIKE LANE REMOVAL Host Libby Znaimer is joined by Karen Stintz, a Conservative Party of Canada Candidate for Eglinton-Lawrence, a former Toronto City Councilor and the CEO of Variety Village, Toronto City Councilor Jon Burnside for Ward 16 Don Valley West and Stephen Holyday for Ward 2 Etobicoke Centre. This week, the province announced municipalities need QP approval for new bike lanes if they remove car lanes. Meanwhile, the Premier is considering cutting existing bike lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge. City Hall is also making a crucial move to combat renovictions, but we must remember landlords deserve fair treatment too. Additionally, Kathleen Wynne's recent labeling of Anthony Furey as a bigot raises concerns, especially without evidence. 911 CALL WAIT TIME DELAYS AND GUN CONTROL  Clayton Campbell, President of Toronto Police Association challenged the Trudeau government’s claims of progress on the handgun problem. The TPA highlights alarming statistics: a 45% increase in shootings and a 62% rise in gun-related homicides compared to last year. Libby and Clayton discus how these numbers paint a stark picture of the gun violence crisis. TRUDEAU SLASHES IMMIGRATION TARGETS The federal Liberals have announced new immigration targets, likely reflecting a drop of over 20%. This shift appears to respond to growing public concern that Canada is bringing in too many newcomers. Libby is joined by Chris Alexander, Former Minister of Citizenship and Immigration under Stephen Harper, and Barbara Jo Caruso, Co-President of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association to discuss this topic.
