Description

Guest: Robert Benzie, Queen’s Park Bureau Chief  Yet another wrinkle emerged in the Greenbelt scandal with the revelation of an email showing the Premier’s office might have been engaged with the matter earlier than it has previously said (under oath, even). Is this a big “net new” deal, or a nothingburger? Is it significant that this government can’t seem to read a calendar or that personal emails were used here? On another front from Queen’s Park, elected officials haven’t had a raise since 2008. Some of them are quietly grumbling about it even though there is little prospect it’s going to change any time soon. As well, what people call you if your last name sounds like a nickname or if you share a name with a beloved talking barnyard animal, plus a brief but fond farewell to a Hollywood giant who was an east-end Toronto kid. This podcast was produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Paulo Marques and Edward Keenan.
