ZOOMER SQUAD: PREMIERS MEET & THE BEST AGE FOR A PRESIDENT\n\nJane Brown is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer of CARP and Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine and John Wright, Executive Vice President of Maru Public Opinion.\n\nToday: We kick things off with a discussion about the Premiers meeting in Winnipeg to discuss healthcare and the economy among other issues. And, roughly half of Americans (49 per cent), according to Pew Research, say that they prefer a President who is in their 50's. What do you think is the ideal age for someone to be President?\n\nA LOOKAHEAD TO THE NATO SUMMIT\n\nJane Brown is now joined by Dr. Eric Ouellet, Professor in the Department of Defence Studies at Royal Military College of Canada, Dr. Stephen Saideman, Paterson Chair in International Affairs at Carleton University.\n\nLeaders of countries belonging to NATO, including Canada's Justin Trudeau, will be heading to Lithuania for a Summit where discussions about expanding membership and defense spending will be on the table. So far, not all countries such as the U.S. and Germany are interested in allowing Ukraine to join the alliance while the war with Russia remains ongoing. Our experts weigh in on the latest.\n\nTHE LATEST VICTIM OF TORONTO GUN VIOLENCE: A 44-YEAR-OLD MOTHER\n\nJane Brown is now joined by Councillor Paula Fletcher, Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth.\n\nThe community of Leslieville in Toronto's east end has been shaken in the aftermath of a 44-year-old mother killed by a stray bullet in broad daylight there. At this time, Toronto Police don't have much information--just some photos of suspects. But, what really is concerning here is how an innocent pedestrian could have been killed, and what it says about the safety of our neighbourhoods. What will be done to enhance safety on our streets so local residents and their kids don't have to be afraid to go outdoors and live in their communities?\nListen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!
