A Parking Dispute Leads To Assault on Police
TUNE INTO THE TOWN:\xa0 ASSAULT ON POLICE DURING PARKING DISPUTE IN TORONTO\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Alex Blumenstein, Co-Founder of The Peak, Toronto City Councillor Brad Bradford for Ward 6 Beaches-East York, and Karen Stintz, a Conservative Party of Canada Candidate for Eglinton-Lawrence, a former Toronto City Councillor and the CEO of Variety Village.\n\nIt\u2019s Thursday - time to talk about all things municipal- and today we have to talk about parking! A bylaw officer and the police officer he called for backup were assaulted by a driver who had just been ticketed for parking in a bike lane - the fine for that offense had just gone up on the first of the month. Then we were treated to that viral video of a cop being called out for parking illegally to get coffee. The only physical part of the argument was the finger that was given... by the cop. Both the head of the Toronto Police Association and Premier Doug Ford think this constitutes harassment. So the question is: if you park illegally to get a cop a coffee, will you get a ticket?\n\nTERROR PLOT TARGETING TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERTS IN VIENNA FOILED\xa0\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Phil Gurski, President and CEO of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting, and a former Senior Strategic Terrorism Analyst at CSIS.\n\nMega popstar Taylor Swift has had to cancel her concerts in Vienna after authorities there foiled a planned terrorist attack on the concert venue and arrested two individuals.

Meanwhile, Flair Airlines was ordered to compensate two passengers after a B.C. tribunal found it had lied about the reason for the cancellation. The airline said it was a\xa0 bird strike but there was no evidence of that. Gabor highlights a Transport Canada database here in Canada called CADORS\xa0where all kinds of air occurrences like bird strikes are reported.\n\nListen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!
