PODCAST: The Daily Review for Thurs. November 21st, 2024

As you might have heard earlier in the broadcast, Prime Minister Trudeau is giving Canadians a GST break. Granted, it’s only for a limited time, and it’s not for every single item. But as we prepare for the return of the Trump administration, perhaps any tax break is a good tax break at this point? Liberal MP Jenna Sudds delivers the pre-Christmas perks. Plus, a Markham hockey buff has become famous for his backyard hockey rink, which he constructed during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Hour 4, we explain why Martin Ross has agreed to take down the boards and shut down the rink.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. November 21st, 2024

Ahead of the Christmas shopping season, and a potential economic shift in the United States, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his Liberal government plans to temporarily lift the federal sales tax off a slew of items. Cheques will be sent to millions of Canadian households this Spring. It’s a nice gesture on the surface, but will it do anything? Retail analyst Bruce Winder joins guest host Andrew Pinsent in Hour 2. Meantime, do you remember the infamous Rideau Street McDonald’s? Don’t call it a comeback, but the CEO of McDonald’s Canada was asked about a theoretical return of the Downtown symbol during the Mayor’s Breakfast today. And…well…Michele Boudria didn’t say ‘never’.
