Description
Jerry opens the show by asking: Should we elect judges? He reacts to a case where a judge gave a lenient sentence to help a trucker avoid deportation after a fatal Ontario crash. With the census due today, Jerry brings Robert Turner on‑air to walk through the process and completes his own census live on-air. Jerry then turns to Bill 107, the Stop Harmful Gambling Advertising Act, and speaks with Steve Joordens, psychology professor at the University of Toronto Scarborough. They talk about the psychological impact of gambling ads. Boys are falling behind in school, and some experts say the gap starts as early as kindergarten. Jerry breaks down the research and the implications and takes listener calls.
