Today on the show, Scott found out why bricks-and-morter businesses are concerned about the Burlington Food Truck Festival, and then learned how difficult it is -- in theory -- to land a plane with no previous training. A team at McMaster University is looking into the social factors behind the apparent "orgasm gap," and a co-author of the study shared what has been discovered as well as why you will want to pay close attention to the results. We caught up with the Brott Music Festival's new interim director, and next looked at what will happen to the Liberal government's Environmental Assessment Act now that the Alberta Court of Appeals has quashed it. Hamilton youth will soon be able to ride the HSR at 50% of the price, and Scott got the details about how and why. Finally, a look at last night's provincial leaders debate and where this race is heading in Ontario, as well as an update on the saga of Roe vs. Wade and abortion rights in the United States.
