Political Pickles and E Scooters

THE RECOVERING POLITICIANS An emergency committee hearing was held in Ottawa this morning to vote on whether to call Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Immigration Minister Marc Miller to testify about how the recently arrested father-son accused terror team was able to immigrate to Canada. Libby Znaimer is joined by Cheri DiNovo, former Member of Provincial Parliament of Ontario; Lisa Raitt, former Deputy Leader of Conservative Party of Canada; and John Milloy, former Ontario Liberal MPP who served as a cabinet minister under the Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne governments to discuss this, and other political news of the day. OTTAWA TURNS A BLIND EYE TO QUESTIONABLE PRO-PALESTINIAN CHARITIES The federal government wants to take away the charity status of the 100-year-old Jewish National Fund of Canada for allegedly breaking the rules, but the Trudeau Liberals aren’t doing likewise with a number of pro-Palestinian charities, some with questionable links to terrorist organizations. Libby Znaimer is joined by Canadian lawyer and author Warren Kinsella to unpack this troubling issue. WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH E-SCOOTERS? They seem to be everywhere, and while they are banned in Toronto, the City has reported that they don’t have the capacity to enforce the ban. This, as The Hospital for Sick Children says it is seeing a notable uptick this summer in the number of injuries related to e-scooters and e-bikes in Toronto. Libby is joined by David Shellnut, personal injury lawyer and founder of The Biking Lawyer; and Aaron Binder, Chief Experience Officer at Go Tours Canada to discuss.
