NEWSTALK 1010

NEWSTALK 1010's political editor Dave Trafford asks if what we heard in the leader's debate will actually impact the election

GUN CONTROL: Advocates say tougher gun restrictions will reduce criminal behaviour. The gun lobby says tougher laws will redefine law-abiding citizens as criminals. Dave Trafford asks, is regulation the answer to gun violence?

NEWSTALK 1010 reporter Hayley Cooper goes in-depth on the release of the police interview with alleged Yonge Street van attacker Alek Minassian. The disturbing police interview occurred only hours after the suspect allegedly drove his rented van over pedestrians on April 23, 2018. Read the transcript here.

AFFORDABILITY: Do you feel you are better off today than you were four years ago? Most Canadians say "no". Recent polling by Dart C-Suite Communicators suggests most of you say you're struggling to keep up with the day-to-day costs of living in Canada. That's made affordability a major issue in this election campaign. Dave Trafford asks whether political or government leaders can really make life more affordable for you.

LEADERSHIP: The modern definition of Leadership that drives public sector, private sector, non-profit sector and NGO sector success around the world has NO PLACE in modern politics or political parties. How can we count on Canada's political "leaders" to have the courage and vision to protect our environment, keep us healthy and create communities that are livable, safe and affordable?
