THE ZOOMER SQUAD: PM TRUDEAU'S $250 REBATE EXCLUDES RETIREES

Jane Brown is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Anthony Quinn, Chief Operating Officer of CARP,  Bill VanGorder, Chief Advocacy and Education Officer and John Mykytyshyn, Conservative Activist, Political Consultant and President of Bradgate Research Group.

Today: we get reaction from the Zoomer Squad regarding the fact that retirees are excluded from the Trudeau government's $250 rebate for working Canadians. It's an issue that many of our listeners expressed disappointment over during last week's Free For All Friday. Bill and Anthony also give us an update on what CARP members have been saying regarding the Canada Post strike and how the disruption of service has been impacting them. 

GETTING CLARITY ON AMBULANCE FEES IN ONTARIO 

Jane Brown is joined by Dr. Jamie Spiegelman, internal medicine and critical care physician at Humber River Hospital.

Another hot topic during last week's Free For All Friday had to do with ambulance fees: our listeners want more clarity about fees for ambulance services. Dr. Spiegelman provides more clarity on the role that paramedics play and adds more insight into the fees associated with calling an ambulance.  

ANTI-ISRAEL RIOT IN MONTREAL

Jane Brown is now joined by Eli Mogil, Partner with McCarthy Tétrault LLP and Hank Topas, Quebec Regional Director of B'nai Brith Canada.

Our panel reacts to the violent anti-Israel riot that unfolded in Montreal over the weekend, Second Cup taking swift action against anti-Semitism and the way Toronto Police handled the anti-Israel protest that took place at Bathurst and Sheppard-a neighbourhood that is home to a large Jewish community.
