In this episode Laura Babcock and Mel Woods debate:
- Canada is reducing the number of international student permits by 35%. The Immigration minister hopes this will clamp down on institutions and 'bad actors' while helping the housing crisis. Is this a good first step in addressing the housing crisis?
- Halifax is no longer testing ice thickness on lakes, saying climate change has limited people's ability to skate on the bodies of water. The money saved will go into maintaining manufactured ice. Does it make sense to stop testing the ice?
- A cheeseburger with a waiver on the side? A U.S. customer was asked to sign a waiver after ordering their burger cooked medium. Ontario food safety laws say ground beef should be well done. Would you eat a meal if it came with a waiver?
