Phil Verster has QUIT as CEO of Metrolinx - catching the Ford government by surprise and leaving a litany of of billion dollar transit project in disarray. Not one project has been completed during Verster's leadership. They're running over time and over budget with no clear sign as to when they'll be delivered.
And we've got the best brains to talk us through the fallout. We've assembled our NOW and NEXT
C.A.S.T. (Comms and Strategy Team), starting with Anne Marie Aikins, who spent a good deal of her career as the Comms leaders at Metrolinx; Brad Ross brings his insights as the former Comms Director at the Toronto Transit Commission; Lindsay Broadhead who spent time leading the corporate comms at Toronto City Hall and worked with Metrolinx when Verster joined the agency in 2017; and Bob Reid - a former Senior Adviser to former Ontario Premier Mike Harris.
We also weigh in on the congestion crisis in Toronto - including talk at City Hall to limit ride-sharing licences.
And nobody saw it coming, but Justin Trudeau showed Prime Ministerial strength when he paid an unplanned visit to Mara-lago and THEN sat down with the Opposition Leaders in Ottawa to brief them on the Trump-Trudeau convo.
