Police Missed Their Chance? | Kids Talking to Strangers | Auto Pact Possibilities

 

Jerry opens the show with a Morning Rant about the investigation into the Bridle Path suspect. After Toronto police said they couldn't arrest the suspect while he was in hospital, Jerry argues that police dropped the ball and asks why the opportunity wasn't seized.

Next, Jerry talks about a piece of parenting advice that goes against what many of us were taught growing up: “Yes, your kids should talk to strangers.” He speaks with Katherine Martinko, author of Childhood Unplugged: Practical Advice to Get Kids Off Screens and Find Balance, about teaching children confidence, independence, and social skills. Jerry then opens the phones and texts to hear what listeners think.

The hour wraps with a discussion about the future of the North American auto industry. Jerry speaks with David Booth, Driving.ca's Motor Mouth, about what a future Canada–U.S. auto pact could look like.
