Mark Towhey in for Jim Richards, this hour featured whisky expert Stuart Brown on what bottles pair with hope or heartbreak, how U.S. liquor bans are reshaping the market, and what whisky lovers can expect in 2026, followed by Matt Cauz on Canada’s surprising new struggle to stay competitive in junior hockey. Economist Moshe Lander then unpacked whether Star Trek’s philosophy can actually teach us how to “live long and prosper,” before a behind‑the‑scenes chat with 1010’s David Hunter about life in radio.
Mark Towhey is in for Jim Richards, and this hour starts with Mark tackling Toronto’s debate over high‑visibility police cars with TPA President Clayton Campbell, explored how the Toronto Zoo helps animals handle Canada’s seasons, and dug into Sylvain Charlebois’ research on whether dynamic pricing and loyalty programs are secretly costing shoppers more. Listeners wrapped the hour by calling in with the specific changes they’d make to their mayor and council.
Mark Towhey digs in with Gaving Tighe, Senior Partner with Gardiner Roberts LLP, into revising the Crominal Code to outlaw intimidation and harassment. And Candy Ho HR Expert, Chair of Canadian Education and Research Institute for Counselling and a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University breaks down the effects of the new wage transparency law that takes effect January 1, 2026.

And Brian Lilley explains why he thinks Liberal policies have destroyed Canada's justice system.
Mark Towhey brings back the discussion on Barrie’s bold high‑visibility police‑car redesign—talking with former TPS cop Mark Mendelson—and opens the phones on whether police uniforms, gear, and presentation have become too aggressive for a profession built mostly on trust, not combat. The hour then shifts to callers debating Ontario’s new pay‑transparency laws taking effect January 1, before wrapping with a look at how AI chatbots may influence Canadian voters and the news that TikTok’s U.S. operations will move to American ownership.
Mark Towhey is in for Jim Richard, and the final hour of today's show opened with podcasting leader Amanda Cupido, who shared the story of selling her podcast company, what the deal means for her future with The Walrus, and whether anyone who isn’t Joe Rogan can still make real money in podcasting. She also dug into the big question facing the industry: what radio can learn from podcasting—and whether traditional live radio can still be saved. Listeners then weighed in with how podcasts fit into their lives, followed by a feel‑good update on Purolator donating a much‑needed delivery truck to the North York Harvest food bank, and a conversation with retail analyst Bruce Winder about what should fill the massive empty spaces in today’s struggling malls.
Mark Towhey is in for Jim Richards and the hour opened with Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Research and co-author of a number of books — discussing the themes of his new book Breaking Point, exploring the widening divides in Canada—urban vs. rural, east vs. west, young vs. old—and whether anything still binds the country together. Listeners then weighed in on a provocative question: if Canada vanished tomorrow, who would miss us and why? The hour closed with food economist Sylvain Charlebois, who broke down how much grocery prices have risen in 2025, what to expect in 2026, and how inflation is forcing Canadians to rethink how they eat and feed their families.
