Olivia Chow's gambit to lower the tax hike for Torontonians seems to have paid off. The Federal government has announced $362.4 million dollars in funding for refugee supports without which, Chow said, the tax increase would have been higher.

The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station is getting refurbished. The project is already slated to cost $2 billion for the initial phase, but it could cost billions more to complete. Why invest in nuclear? Why not invest in more solar like the rest of the world? Dr. Chris Keefer joins the podcast to discuss nuclear energy and why he thinks it's necessary to reach a clean energy future.
And a note to listeners, audio episodes of the podcast will be dropping on Thursdays rather than Tuesdays starting next week. #onpoli is very excited to be introducing a video component to our show, but you'll still get the same high-quality audio in your feed every week.
