Jerry opens the show talking about thin‑skinned politicians who seem to be sensitive to criticism in public debate.  

Jerry then speaks with Dave Trafford about several major provincial issues, including, proposals to restrict foreign ownership of farmland, Ontario’s plan to require a financial‑literacy test for high‑school graduation, and changes to FOI legislation. 

Next, Jerry gets your thoughts on the province’s new requirement that Ontario high‑school students will soon need to pass a financial‑literacy test to graduate.

Plus, what’s the future of the cheque?  As financial literacy becomes mandatory, Jerry asks listeners whether cheques will even exist when today’s kids become adults.
