Episode description

Should students get their money back for every day the teachers of OPSEU are on strike for? If you didn’t already know, the OPSEU strike has taken not only every teacher, professor and instructor out of the classroom but has also taken out every student from the classroom too! Students are paying thousands of dollars to be educated but when they're not being taught, where is their money going?

Guest: Amir Allana, Co-author of petition for students’ tuition refunds

 

Gordon Hayward was a member of the Boston Celtics for all of 5 minutes before his leg was injured in a very unusual way. His tibia was broken causing his foot to effectively turn completely around.  Did you go searching for the video? The NBA’s season started up last night but lately, it seems as though it’s turned into a league full of have and have-nots. The Toronto Raptors seem to be on the side of the have-nots which will likely impact their standings at the end of the season, do you agree? Also, are the Ticats really going start with Jeremiah Masoli against the Montreal Alouettes this Sunday? What are your thoughts on this decision?

With the recent passing of Gord Downie, it seems like everyone in Canada is in mourning. Councillor Sam Merulla has proposed that we put up a plaque in commemoration of Downie at First Ontario Centre. Why is it that when we try to name things after local people who have done amazing things, it seems to take forever but when Gord Downie, a man from Kingston, passes away we're talking about having a plaque in his memory the next day? What do you think of this?

Guest: Sam Merulla, Ward 4 Councillor
