The Petition Calling For The City To Reverse Dundas Name Change
THE MEDICAL RECORD: \xa0 HOW EFFECTIVE WERE OVER THE COUNTER COVID-19 RAPID TEST KITS?\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Malcolm Moore, Medical Oncologist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre,\xa0 Dr. Fahad Razak, Canada Research Chair in Healthcare Data and Analytics at the University of Toronto and Dr. Sohail Gandhi, an Ontario based family physician and a past President of the Ontario Medical Association.\n\nIt\u2019s Wednesday time to talk about your health. And there was a huge uptick in Covid cases before the holidays which I am sure is spiking even more after all the Christmas gatherings and the shopping in crowds. Meanwhile, a new report says those ubiquitous home test kits aren\u2019t as accurate as we thought and the company behind them fudged some of the results in order to get the multi million dollar contract. And there\u2019s a new study on physician burnout - again some of that must be related to the holidays. And two of our panelists were working over Christmas. So did a young emergency doctor who was a guest at our home. She left early to start her overnight shift on the 25th.\n\nOTTAWA'S SETTLEMENT FOR THE TWO MICHAELS\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Bob Richardson, Senior Council, National Public Relations and Phil Gurski, President of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting, and a former senior strategic analyst at CSIS\n\nOttawa is ready to finalize a settlement with the two Michaels who were detained in China for nearly three years. The feds will reportedly provide each of them with around $3 million in compensation though Michael Spavor's lawyer is seeking $10.5 from Ottawa. Our panel weighs in.\n\nONLINE PETITION WANTS TO REVERSE YONGE-DUNDAS NAME CHANGE\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Daniel Tate and Jonny Pottins--both concerned citizens, taxpayers and co-organizers of an online petition to reverse the name change of Yonge-Dundas Square.\n\nToronto City Council has made the decision to rename Yonge-Dundas square to Sankofa Square--a decision that will cost taxpayers millions. But now there is an\xa0online petition\xa0written by Jonny Pottins and Dan Tate which is going strong with a target of reaching 100,000 signatures. The petition right now has reached just over 15,000 signatures. Both Dan and Jonny say this isn't just a matter of saving our hard earned money; it is also very much about preserving our history.\n\nIf you wish to visit the online petition go to change.org/p/stop-the-renaming-of-dundas-in-toronto
