RECOVERING POLITICIANS: BOONDOGGLE DOESN'T BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE ARRIVECAN APP FIASCO\n\nThe Auditor General issues a scathing report on the ArriveCan app; Doug Ford\u2019s PCs are set to repeal Bill 124; and Mayor Olivia Chow is looking at a bigger budget for Toronto Police Services.\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Lisa Raitt, former deputy leader of the Conservative Party of Canada; George Smitherman, former Ontario Liberal MPP for Toronto Centre who also served as a health minister and deputy Premier; and Peggy Nash, former NDP MP for Parkdale-High Park to dive into these topics.\n\n\n\n\nBEST PRACTICES FOR PROTECTING YOUR VEHICLE AGAINST AUTO THEFT\n\nThe Insurance Bureau of Canada reported that in 2022, claims paid out for vehicle thefts exceeded $1.2 billion for the first time.\n\nAs thefts rise exponentially, owners and insurers say manufacturers should address known vulnerabilities in vehicle technology, which are being exploited by thieves.\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Bryan Gast, Vice-President, Investigative Services at \xc9quit\xe9 Association; and Inspector Paul Rinkoff from Toronto Police Services\u2019 Community Partnerships & Engagement Unit to discuss this troubling trend.\n\n\n\n\nARE YOU GOING TO EAT THAT? PERFECTLY IMPERFECT FOOD\n\nEvery year, billions of pounds of Canadian produce go to waste, much of it because it doesn\u2019t cut the mustard with the strict cosmetic criteria adhered to by the retail industry.\xa0But with prices skyrocketing and budgets stretched, shoppers are turning increasingly to so-called imperfect food to save on produce that a fresh crop of online grocers says is just as tasty, if a little funky-looking.\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Anna Stegink, owner/operator of online grocer Eat Impact to discuss perfectly imperfect food.
