The Jerry Agar Show

What does that actually mean and is it going to be of much help? Jerry is joined by Cannabis industry expert and Toronto Metropolitan University lecturer Brad Poulos to break it down.

Nine isn’t enough?  “good progress” and “determining our next steps” isn’t good enough when it comes to enforcing a new dress code for teachers after a teacher wearing prosthetic breasts made international headlines.

After resigning due to his own admission to an extra marital affair with a city staffer many supporters stepped forward to encourage him to stay, but how many were protecting their own interests? 

Is it inappropriate for Tory to wait to officially resign until after the tabling of the Toronto budget?  Is he developing a strategy to stay?

…and the feds don’t appear to be concerned with doing anything about it.  Even AFTER the backlash the Trudeau government faced after the costs of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II went public.

You won’t believe how much tax payer money Toronto cops are spending on a podcast that is being referred to as “copaganda.”

People who want to jump to the conclusion that this 31-year-old woman wasn’t fully aware of the risks involved in what she was getting involved in should think twice.   

Demoted.  Not FIRED.  The increased price of groceries is tough for everyone but how does a cop escape losing their job for theft?

The issue is that when you present yourself as a boy scout your behavior has to fit that image and any stepping out will be met with much larger criticism. 

After Toronto city council voted against having Toronto's warming centres operate 24/7 until mid-April, it's been reported multiple times that the city only has 4 warming centers. That's actually not the case, there are other centres the homeless can utilize they are just labeled as respite centres. Gord Tanner, General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration joins Mark to explain.   ...

Mark is joined by CJAD Montreal newscaster Dawn Kagan-Fleming for the latest on the 2 four-year-old children who were killed after a driver crashed a city bus into a daycare in Laval, Que. resulting in 2 first-degree murder charges.

In 2002 a report showed how an effective centralized waitlist could ease the burden on our healthcare system. Some provinces are already using them.  Armine Yalnizyan, economist and Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers joins Mark Towhey (in for Jerry Agar) to talk about what centralized waitlists do and how they work.     

Do you need this much to retire? Are you concerned about retirement? While this number may seem high, it is not all that is seems.

Are you a helicopter parent? Do you know helicopter parents? John Tory Jr and Deb Hutton certainly do, as they discuss the impacts of helicopter parenting.

Do you think this will improve our health care system going forward? We took your calls to find out. 

Is this insulting?  Is it necessary to have this at a student council meeting if anyone is offended? 

The city of Toronto approved this man's artificial grass, but it was overturned and now he's in a predicament. Is this really a fight the city needs to be involved in?

John Tory Jr actually witnessed a random attack on the TTC yesterday after the show. This morning, he talked about his harrowing experience with Deb Hutton and callers. 

Many young men are suffering from body dysmorphia and obsessing over their unrealistic body image standards.  Has our focus on young women's body image issues made this problem worse?  Should young men always have been part of that conversation?    

Deb Hutton and John Tory Jr. are in for Jerry Agar.  Teachers, student's and school boards across the country are all talking about whether midterm and final exams are a valuable experience for post secondary students and many boards haven't brought them back since doing away with them at the beginning of the pandemic.  

It’s a program that has already been implemented at some clinics but does it raise ethical questions about our public healthcare?  Jerry says no.  

The LA Times August Brown joins Jerry for an in-depth look at the recent US Senate hearing with LiveNation/TicketMaster and whether they truly do have a monopoly.
