Days after USA and Israel fired the first shots at Iran, today’s conflict in the Middle East spread to Lebanon. Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia, has constantly traded blows with Israeli forces in the weeks that followed the initial attacks. And now, children in Lebanon are paying the price, according to the United Nations’ Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. It says over 1 million people have been displaced as a result of this war, and at least 370,000 of those innocent lives are children. Geoffrey Johnston is an International Affairs columnist with the Kingston Whig-Standard. He joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.

The Carney government has introduced a 40-cent increase to the federal minimum wage. Last Wednesday, the hourly rate rose from $17.75 to $18.15. And once October rolls around, Ontario’s minimum wage will also be going up, this time to $17.95 per hour. It’s now an annual increase that is based around the province’s Consumer Price Index, but the cost of living and everyday expenses are making it tougher and tougher to get ahead. Are these minimum wage increases doing enough? Craig Pickthorne from the Ontario Living Wage Network pays us a visit on CFRA Weekends.
