Nov. 16: The Beauties and the Beast panel
Former Liberal MP Michelle Simson has written a letter to current members of parliament in which Ms. Simson charges "the government's attempt to alter our fixed election date by a matter of days... Is simply to enrich MPs elected for the first time in 2019, ensuring their eligibility for a lifetime, gold-plated pension. "Self-serving" and "transparently money-grubbing" are words Simson also uses in her letter. Since Michelle Simson, who was censured by the Liberal Party for her decision to engage ethically with Canadians, is a member of our Beauties and the Beast panel we're reconvening B&B for today for response/reaction to Michelle Simson's open letter to MPs. Guests: Michelle Simson. Former Liberal MP Linda Leatherdale. Fmr. MONEY editor, Toronto Sun. Catherine Swift. President, Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada.

Nov. 16: Taylor Swift's motorcade costs some $282 million to the city's economy
There's no question that Taylor Swift is a music royalty and perhaps the single most successful music act ever (Bigger than the Beatles? Bigger than Elvis?) In Toronto, Swift is treated as royalty and a motorcade rivals what King Charles might experience. And who pays for this? And is it all necessary? Meanwhile, Swift's presence in Toronto adds some $282 million to the city's economy. While Taylor Swift still has concerts to perform in Toronto, she will then be in Vancouver from December 6 to 8, with the VPD preparing to add 700 officers to its rotation during the Tay Tay concerts. But about the bar set by Toronto. Guest: Joe Warmington. Columnist with The Toronto Sun. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Meanwhile, former Liberal Deputy PM John Manley is advising a snap federal election now with a new Canadian federal government in place in time for Donald Trump's inauguration as U.S. President and able to challenge any Trump admin decisions potentially harmful to this country.
