We revisit the conversation about Ozempic and when it is typically prescribed & are Canadians wearing enough sunscreen amid a spike in Melanoma cases? Our panel of doctors react to the latest. A ONE-ON-ONE WITH THE TTC'S NEW CEO MANDEEP LALI Jane Brown is joined by Mandeep Lali, the TTC's new CEO. Yes, that's right: the TTC has a new CEO. Before this, he served as an exec with NYC's transit system. But does Mandeep Lali have what it takes to effectively resolve issues at the TTC including persistent delays and more? And will he get this moving faster when it comes to the still unfinished Eglinton Crosstown LRT? He answers the tough questions on Fight Back. A COALITION OF RESIDENTS IS DEMANDING BETTER FROM CITY HALL Jane Brown is joined by Anthony Furey, a former Toronto mayoral candidate and longtime Postmedia columnist who spoke at the Toronto Concerned Citizens Coalition News Conference this past Tuesday. The conference took place this past Tuesday at Nathan Phillips Square whereby residents joined together to express their dissatisfaction with the way that Toronto City Hall has been approaching key issues like homeless encampments, property tax increases, a rise in hate-related crimes, the renaming of spaces and bike lanes. Is the message getting through to City councillors and the mayor?
