When we started this podcast, one of the first episodes we ever did was covering the aftermath of the basic income pilot project here in Ontario.

For years, the Doug Ford government has promised Whitby a new hospital. As the region continues to grow it is becoming apparent that the status quo in terms of its health care will not do.
