There's been a big focus on how Canada’s auto industry has been dealing with the trade upheaval with the U.S., but what about the motorcycle market? And with spring (hopefully) around the corner, Canadian motorcycle enthusiasts are curious about the state of the market.

Host Mike Eppel speaks to Landon French, President and CEO of Moto Canada, ahead of the Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show. The two discuss whether or not motorcycles are subject to tariffs, how the market has been affected by the trade disruption, and what trends Canada’s tourism sector is observing.

One by one, Ontario school boards are being taken under the control of the provincial government, as Education Minister Paul Calandra says is in an attempt to fix reported financial mismanagement.

Instead, the ministry has either appointed supervisors to oversee boards, or in some cases, Calandra himself will take direct control - a job he claims comes with no extra pay. However critics believe the move is a power-hungry one, and comes at the expense of students' wellbeing, as well as local democracy.

Host Maria Kestane speaks to 680 NewsRadio Queen's Park reporter, Richard Southern, and Vice President of the Ontario Secondary School Teacher's Federation, Colin Matthew, to break down what's behind the takeovers, and what they believe the Ford government has up its sleeve.
