ZOOMER SQUAD: WHAT'S BEHIND THE SPIKE IN OUR ELECTRICITY BILLS? Libby Znaimer is joined by Anthony Quinn, President of CARP; David Valentin, Principal at Liaison Strategies; and Liz West, Host of the Afternoon Express on Zoomer Radio. Electricity rates have jumped nearly 30 percent which could leave you stunned as you open up your next payment bill. And David's Liaison Strategies has a new survey out which gives us insights into what Canadians think about Prime Minister Mark Carney's federal budget. THE RSV VACCINE & CANADA HAS LOST ITS MEASLES ELIMINATION STATUS Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Christopher Labos, Cardiologist and epidemiologist at McGill University and Jen Belcher, Vice-President, Strategic Initiatives at the Ontario Pharmacists Association (OPA). There's plenty to discuss on the vaccines front today. RSV shot: it is, as a reminder, free for Ontario adults over the age of 75 but it's important to know that it is only covered if you go through your family doctor. It'll cost you at the pharmacy. The question we have is why? Meanwhile, Canada has lost its measles elimination status. And, will the flu vaccine be suitable with the strain of the virus circulating this year? SNOWY WEATHER IN GTA, THE END OF THE FARMER'S ALMANAC AND MORE Libby Znaimer is joined by Dave Phillips, Senior Climatologist at Environment Canada and Sgt. Kerry Schmidt of the OPP Highway Safety Division. We talk about the snowy conditions that covered the GTA this past Sunday and today, why it arrived this early and what we can expect for the rest of the season. Also, we hear about the collisions that took place on our highways due to the bad weather. Meanwhile, the Farmers Almanac (which is 208 years old) is publishing its last issue this week. It's not to be confused with the Old Farmer's Almanac which will continue to publish both online as well as its annual physical issue. Our guests discuss the latest.
