GUEST: Lou Molinaro, Instructor at the Harris Institute for Music, Longtime Hamilton Music Promoter - What’s the relationship between Concussions and the risk of delayed neurodegenerative disease ie AD, PD and of course CTE. Dr. Carmela Tartaglia joins the Bill Kelly show to discuss that and more. GUEST: Dr. Carmela Tartaglia, Marion and Gerald Soloway Chair in Brain Injury and Concussion Research and Co-director of the Memory Clinic with Toronto Western Hospital - Ontario’s move in 2018 to raise the minimum wage reduced the racialized wage gap, particularly for women, amid rising employment, according to a new study from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA). When the $14-per-hour minimum wage was implemented in 2018, business lobbyists made dire predictions that it would lead to massive job losses. That simply didn’t happen. In fact, far from being a “job-killer,” wages grew in Ontario while total employment increased by 1.7 per cent in 2018 and by 2.8 per cent in 2019, according to the new report.
