An Ontario mother is describing her mixed feelings after her child was caught at school with a steak knife. Her child is a victim of ongoing bullying and felt that the school wasn't stepping in adequately. 

After the CBC pointed out that The Canadian National Institute for the Blind spends 52 cents on fundraising for ever dollar donated to its guide dog program, we tracked down the Charity Intelligence Organization to find out where the line should be drawn. 

As an extension of yesterday's conversation about how often and how much Metrolinx's CEO has "earned" in salary increases over the years, we learned that the government is actually defending the raises, citing significant expansion of responsibility...rather than execution, or you know, success.

David Foster opens up about raising toddler son in his 70s, saying 'I can offer him wisdom'. But is that wisdom worth anything if he's going to die before his kid graduates high school? This and more on the Jerry Agar show. 

The Star’s Martin Reg Cohn offers a reality check on the fears associated with yesterday’s health announcement. This and more on the Jerry Agar show!

His salary has increased 8 times since taking the position in 2021. You can’t argue with success, the issue is that I don’t think anyone looks at Metrolinx in the last handful of years and would call them successful. This and more on the Jerry Agar show!

Is renaming this major Toronto street the best way to reconcile with Canada's checkered past, or are there better ways to spend our tax dollars?

Newstalk 1010's Science expert Dan Riskin recounted that on a recent road trip one of his kids was complaining of being bored and Dan was enthused by this and further perpetuated the boredom because boredom reinforces creativity and forces the child to face boredom and develop ways to potentially overcome it.  

The Ontario Provincial Police updates the public on what we know and what they could use the public's help with in regards to trying to locate Elnaz Hajtamiri  1 year after her abduction.  Mark Mendelson, NewsTalk 1010's crime specialist also breaks down the OPP's comments.  

The city of Toronto's budget includes a roughly $8000 raise for Toronto city councillors. They also received a $2,800 raise last year through an inflation adjustment. So when your property taxes, rent, groceries, and general cost of living goes up due to inflation, who is bailing you out when you bail out the public employees?

Residential property taxes are going up 5.5% and at least one professor feels that the city can no longer fund itself on just property taxes and service charges. Professor emeritus Myer Siemiatycki from Toronto Metropolitan University joins Jerry on what has to change.
