TUNE INTO THE TOWN: TORONTO IS GETTING A NEW CONCERT VENUE

Libby Znaimer is joined by Karen Stintz, a Conservative Party of Canada Candidate for Eglinton-Lawrence, a former Toronto City Councillor and the CEO of Variety Village, Barbara Hall, a former Mayor of Toronto, and Toronto City Councillor Brad Bradford for Ward 19 Beaches-East York.

Why does Ontario Premier Doug Ford want to build a tunnel under Highway 401 and how much will it cost? And Toronto is getting a new concert venue at Downsview. 

A RECAP OF LAST NIGHT'S TDSB EMERGENCY MEETING

Libby Znaimer is joined by Neethan Shan, Acting Chair of the TDSB, followed by Tamara Gottlieb, Founding member of Jewish Educators and Family Association of Canada (JEFA).

A resolution came out of last night's TDSB meeting whereby students attending their schools are not allowed to go on field trips to demonstrations until an investigation launched by the Ontario Minister of Education--looking into how students were brought to anti-Israel protest--is concluded.

IS PREMIER DOUG FORD'S IDEA OF A TUNNEL UNDER HIGHWAY 401 WORTH IT?

Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Frank Clayton,  a senior research fellow with the Centre for Urban Research and Land Development at Ryerson University.

We alluded to Premier Doug Ford's vision for an underground tunnel that would stretch across the GTA underneath Highway 401 as part of an effort to ease traffic gridlock. But, as we also talked about, we still don't know how much it's going to cost and what the timeframe of building it will look like. So is it worth it?
