What if everything you worked for—your savings, your home, even your identity—could be stolen without a weapon or a warning?
In this chilling yet empowering episode of Chatter That Matters, recorded live at the Toronto Hunt, I moderate a critical conversation on the growing threat of cybercrime—and how we can fight back.
Joining me are three remarkable minds from the frontlines of this invisible war:
Margot Denomme, former Crown Attorney, author and advocate for youth digital safety, compares giving a child a smartphone to handing them car keys without a manual. She's on a mission to delay smartphone use, reform digital education, and protect self-esteem before it's shattered by comparison culture.
Milos Stojadinovic, RBC's cybersecurity expert, explains how cybercrime has become a multi-trillion-dollar global industry, complete with 24/7 malware support and AI-powered deepfakes-his warning: the identity crisis is just beginning.
Detective Sergeant Colin Organ, head of York Region's Financial Crimes Unit, shares heartbreaking stories of victims who lost everything to scams—and exposes a justice system struggling to respond to these crimes as anything more than "non-violent."
Why this episode matters:
Cybercrime is no longer fringe—it's global, organized, and relentless. As AI accelerates the threat, we must take action to protect our families, finances, and future.
You'll learn:
-
How to build habits that shield you from scams
-
Why criminals are always a step ahead—and how to close the gap
-
What parents must know before giving their child a phone
-
Why outdated laws leave us all more vulnerable
-
Whether deepfakes and AI put humanity itself at risk
Subscribe to Chatter That Matters and take the first step toward cyber resilience. Because in this fight, awareness isn't just power—it's protection.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
