There's plenty happening in Toronto lately...we kick things off with a discussion about the City's "Don't Block the Box" initiative aimed at curbing local traffic congestion with fine increases being announced by Mayor Olivia Chow. Meanwhile, the Toronto Police Association has kicked off a campaign calling for more pay for officers. And, one of the councillors on today's panel thinks that we are not getting enough accountability from our government leaders.

HEZBOLLAH TERROR GROUP TARGETED WITH EXPLODING PAGERS AND WALKIE TALKIES

Libby Znaimer is joined by Francis Syms,  Associate Dean of Information & Communications Technology at Humber Polytechnic and a cybersecurity and consumer hardware expert, and Phil Gurski, President and CEO of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting, and a former senior strategic terrorism analyst at CSIS.

Lebanon has been on edge this week. First, because of a wave of pager explosions on Tuesday afternoon targeting members of the Hezbollah terrorist group who have been using the devices in an effort to evade Israeli communications interception. Then yesterday, walkie talkies being used by Hezbollah also exploded. The terrorist group is blaming Israel for the attacks. Meanwhile the Israelis have not publicly commented on these specific incidents. Our guests weigh in on how these developments serve as a setback for Hezbollah and how such technologies can be compromised.
