Leonard Cohen's Music Heals During Hard Times
TUNE INTO THE TOWN: FORD GOVERNMENT WILL NOT DISSOLVE PEEL REGION\n\nIt\u2019s our Thursday tune into the town panel and we\u2019ve got lots to discuss, so let\u2019s get started with the province's announcement to not dissolve Peel Region.\n\nJoining Liz West is Karen Stintz, CEO of Variety Village, Alex Blumenstein, Co-founder of The Peak and David Crombie, former Mayor of Toronto.\n\nTHE POWER OF LEONARD COHEN'S MUSIC DURING DIFFICULT TIMES\n\nWe are inching closer to the shortest day of the year which means the most darkness - many of us struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder - and the news of war and strife only makes matters worse. Can music illuminate these dark times? And in particular, can the songs of Leonard Cohen?\n\nJoining Liz now is Dr. Matthew Robert Anderson, Adjunct professor of Theological Studies at Concordia University and author of "Prophets of Love: The Unlikely Kinship of Leonard Cohen and the Apostle Paul".\n\nOTTAWA SAYS GROCERY CODE OF CONDUCT WILL DEFINATELY BE IMPLEMENTED\n\nWhen we start a new job or join a sports team we are often asked to sign a code of conduct, something that gives us the perimeters of good behaviour. This week the Federal Industry Minister told reporters that we will have a Grocery Code of Conduct in Canada one way or another.\n\nLet's bring in Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Senior Director, Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University.
