No Booze For Bars, Murders On Bail & Cheap Cars for Canadians

The Alex Pierson Show

On this episode of The Alex Pierson Podcast, our host first directs her attention on the ongoing LCBO strike, which will now begin to directly affect businesses that sell liquor. The crown corp said that due to picket lines, it will be scrapping its plan to open 5 stores for bars and restaurants to resupply. So Alex speaks with Regan Irvine, the Owner of Irv & Co Hospitality Group, who says that this strike is only further hurting his ability to earn profits and try to stay afloat.

Next, Brian Lilley, the political columnist for the Toronto Sun has put out a new piece that examines how hundreds of people out on bail have committed extremely violent crimes, including murder. Alex Pierson and Brian talk about how the Trudeau revolving door bail system is only feeding this problem, and why we might need to bring mandatory minimums back into play.

And finally, is your car on its last legs? Have you been waiting for prices to drop before buying a new one? Well good news for you, that's starting to happen...for new cars at least. Alex invites Greg Layson the digital and mobile editor of Automotive News Canada to explain why new cars are actually getting more affordable...while used cars are only getting more expensive.
