Jerry opens the show with the story of a Ford government minister and Vaughan MPP who claimed to have attended a prestigious U.S. university in official bios... but didn’t. Employment lawyer Sunira Chaudhri from Workly Law joins Jerry to talk about the legal and ethical lines when it comes to misrepresenting credentials. Jerry then turns to a new report showing that small business closures in Canada are now outpacing new business starts. Ryan Mallough, VP of Legislative Affairs at the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, explains what’s driving the trend and what it means for local business. Next, Jerry turns to an Italian town's political tradition: putting an effigy of a politician in a cage and dunking them for making the year’s worst decision. Marco Lazzeri and Diana Ferrari from the Feste Vigiliane in Trento explain how the event works.
