Mark Towhey is in for Deb and Jim today and he kicked off the show with a mix of fun personal observations—from great subway drivers and multilingual Toronto moments to rants about watch repair, Pilates confusion, and the menace of oatmeal‑raisin cookies—before diving into listener calls about the realities of becoming a school bus driver. The highlight of the hour was a conversation with Barrie Police Chief Rich Johnston, who explained why the city’s new bright yellow-and-blue “Euro-style” cruisers improve visibility, officer safety, and community awareness. The hour wrapped with calls debating whether Toronto should move toward more high‑visibility police cars too.
