TUNE INTO THE TOWN:  ROB FORD IS BACK IN THE NEWS & THE LATEST ON THE MISSISSAUGA MAYORAL ELECTION

Libby Znaimer is now joined by Alex Blumenstein, Co-Founder of The Peak, Karen Stintz, CEO, Variety Village, and David Crombie, a former Mayor of Toronto.

It’s Thursday - time to talk about all things municipal - and last night there was a key debate in the race for Mississauga mayor. It was, as all debates except for one, a Carolyn Parrish-free debate. And on this segment we’ve spent a lot of time talking about the very controversial and unpopular re-naming of Yonge-Dundas Square. The other night we saw another that went down quite differently!

WHAT IS BEHIND THE DRAMATIC PRICE CHANGES IN FRUIT AT THE GROCERY STORE?

Libby Znaimer is now joined by Sylvain Charlebois, Senior Director, Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University.

We keep hearing that food inflation is coming down yet it’s not unusual to see the opposite at the grocery store  - at least when it comes to certain items. And the swings in some prices are very dramatic.

THE LATEST ON LEGAL EFFORTS TO DISMANTLE THE ANTI-ISRAEL ENCAMPMENT AT UOFT

Libby Znaimer is now joined by Eli Mogil, Partner with McCarthy Tétrault LLP who has experience with injunctions but is not involved at all with UofT's legal proceeding against the encampment on their campus and Paul Fruitman, Partner of Lax O'Sullivan Lisus Gottlieb LLP and representing Hillel Ontario in their filing of intervener status in support of UofT.

If UofT execs were hoping to get a quick injunction for the dismantling of that encampment before convocation - they really miscalculated. The application won’t even be heard until June 19 - after the festivities if those ceremonies do go ahead.
