Is Toronto Failing Residents When It Comes to Our Parks?
THE MEDICAL RECORD:\xa0\xa0WHAT IS THE "MAN FLU"?\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Jason Profetto,\xa0 Family Physician with Profetto Savatteri Family Medicine in Hamilton,\xa0 Dr. Malcolm Moore, Medical Oncologist, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Dr. Jamie Spiegelman, Internal Medicine and Critical Care Physician at Humber River Hospital.\n\nToday we kick things off by discussing the phenomenon popularly known as the "man flu". Meanwhile, now that we are experiencing greater levels of snowfall during the Winter, our health experts weigh in on the risk of a heart attack and overall cardiovascular health when shoveling the snow. And, what we know so far about AI and the role it can play in detecting early signs of hidden Pancreatic Cancer in scans.\n\nHIGH PARK AND OTHER TORONTO PARKS NOT SO RESIDENT FRIENDLY ANYMORE?\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Gil Penalosa, a popular urbanist and the Founder of 8 80 Cities who formerly ran for mayor of Toronto and Diane Buckell, founding member of petition 'High Park-Access for All' and a 40+ Year resident and supporter of High Park.\n\nIs Toronto becoming the city that fun forgot or is there more to it than that? Yesterday, we had a big reaction to the city\u2019s move to ban tobogganing in 45 parks. There\u2019s also been lots of protest around the decision to ban cars from High park making it inaccessible for many older people, new parents and people with disabilities. And we just heard about another area in the park that will be closed to people altogether. That\u2019s the place where there was a labyrinth. And remember the delays last year in opening washrooms - another factor keeping people away. Who is responsible for these decisions? Is it bureaucrats? Where are the politicians? And is there a move to keep people out of our parks?\n\nWHO IS FUNDING THESE PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS IN TORONTO?\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Warren Kinsella, a Toronto-based lawyer, author and consultant.\n\nWho is behind these aggressive pro-Palestinian protests taking place in Toronto and who is giving them funding? Warren Kinsella has been following the money and he joins us to discuss what he's found and advocate against the rise in antisemitism here at home.
