It’s time for Party for Two! Today Jerry is joined by Sabrina Nanji from the Queen’s Park Observer, to break down the top political stories of the day.

Jerry then speaks with Philip Cross, former chief economic analyst for Statistics Canada, about why young workers are not experiencing the “resilient” economy politicians keep talking about.

Next, Jerry turns to City Hall spending. Justin Holmes, reporter with the Toronto Sun, weighs in on revelations that the city’s shelters division spent $300 million on sole‑source contracts.

Youth radicalization is rising in Canada, according to a new CSIS report. Jerry speaks with Kelly Sundberg, Professor of Criminology at Mount Royal University, about this.

Jerry opens the show with commentary on Progress Toronto’s Integrity Commissioner complaint against Brad Bradford, and why he believes the organization is out of line on the issue.

Jerry then dives into two legal stories with Gavin Tighe, senior partner at Gardiner Roberts LLP and chair of the firm’s Litigation and Dispute Resolution Group. Together they discuss: the Ontario Court of Appeal ruling that a dog walker bitten on the job can’t sue because she “owned” the pet at the time, and the five‑year sentence handed to person who broke into a 61‑year‑old Toronto woman’s home and climbed into bed with her.

Next, it’s Jerry’s monthly check‑in with Toronto Police Association President Clayton Campbell, who discusses top policing stories in the city. 

Is it time to ditch passwords altogether? Jerry speaks with Francis Syms, Associate Dean of Information and Communications Technology at Humber Polytechnic, about a phishing‑resistant alternative that experts say is the future of digital security.
