Marker 01

On today's Party for Two, Jerry is joined by Vass Bednar, managing director of the Canadian Shield Institute, to unpack the top stories of the day.

Plus, the last names of lottery winners will no longer appear in news releases. Jerry speaks with Tony Bitonti, OLG spokesperson, about why the shift is happening and what it means for privacy and transparency.

Canada will get a new Governor General. Jerry speaks with Craig Baird, historian and host of Canadian History Ehx, about the role’s importance, and the last time a Governor General had to hold a government to account.

The show wraps up with Jerry’s thoughts on a new Ontario law that caps resale prices, a move that has frustrated many season‑ticket holders.

Jerry opens the show by arguing that Mayor Olivia Chow is already campaigning, even though she hasn’t formally entered the mayoral race.

Then Jerry recounts a moment from the morning: Francois‑Philippe Champagne stopped by the prep room, and Jerry shares how the encounter unfolded.

Next, Jerry digs into new polling questions with John Wright, veteran pollster and CEO of Canada Pulse Insights, including whether everyone really needs to fill out the census to get proper numbers.

Canada promised FIFA “appropriate” labour‑law exemptions, according to newly surfaced documents. To break down the employment‑law implications, Jerry speaks with Sunira Chaudhri, employment lawyer at Workly Law.
