The OTL gang is assembled! Keith Leslie at CHCH-TV, John Wright SVP Maru Public Opinion and SSN Chief Executive Producer Dave Trafford are around the table.
In this episode:
We mark the second annual Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and the truth is dozens of First Nations communities in Ontario remain under boil-water orders.
We hear from Sol Mamakwa, MPP for the riding of Kiiwetinoog in Northwestern Ontario. One of the communities in his riding has been under a boil-water order for 28 years!
Keith and John get into a spirited debate over claims that nuclear energy is “green” energy.
And the Eglinton Cock-up…er Crosstown is a P3 failure. The P3 was supposed to deliver on time and on budget. Dave says the Crosstown fiasco is going to mean infrastructure will only cost more and take even longer to complete in the future.
BTW, if you enjoy On the Ledge, you’ll probably enjoy our daily SSN podcast - NOW and NEXT with Dave Trafford and Erin Trafford.
