    February 14 2026-The State of Zoomer Love & Improving Canadian Healthcare With most people focused on coupling up, this Valentine’s weekend, we thought it is a good time to look in on Zoomer singles. In 2016, approximately 1.4 million Canadians aged 65 and over lived alone, accounting for more than one-quarter (26%) of that demo. The figure that rises sharply with age. By 2021, 42% of people aged 85 and older lived alone. The vast majority are women and a lot of them like it this way. I talked with Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, about whether older Canadians are looking for love. And Dr. Danielle Martin has been chosen to run for the Liberals in the bi-election that will be held in former deputy PM Chrystia Freeland’s old riding. University Rosedale is considered a safe Liberal seat and it is a safe bet Dr. Martin will play a big role in the government healthcare strategy. So here we revisit my 2017 interview on her book "Better Now: Six Big Ideas to Improve Health Care for All Canadians".

    February 7 2026-A Fascinating New Study on Longevity & Have You Heard About Men's Sheds? The latest, fascinating research on longevity is offering some answers in the nature vs nurture debate and--while we have made huge advances in longevity as a society--the prospects for each of us individually is mostly mandated by our genes according to this work and there’s a limit to how much our lifestyles and habits can change it. I spoke with Dr. Stuart Jay Olshansky, a professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois in Chicago. And We know how important it is to maintain strong social connections as we age. And men often find themselves more isolated after relying on the women in their lives to make that happen. Men’s Sheds is an organization dedicated to providing a place for older men to build friendships and community. I talked with Brian Sawyer, Outreach and Member Services Manager for Men’s Sheds Canada

    January 17 2026-Donald Trump's Bid to Control Greenland & The Wealthy Barber Is Back US President Donald Trump came to power promising to pull back from foreign adventures. But as the new year dawned, he has focused increasingly on expanding American global power. And his latest bid to control Greenland has thrown the Western alliance into crisis and prompted European nations to send additional troops there. I talked with John Bolton, a former US Ambassador to the UN who served as Trump’s National Security Advisor during his first term in office. And Zoomers will know our next guest - David Chilton - He is the author of the most successful book in Canadian history - the Wealthy Barber which ultimately sold 2 million copies. He was just 27 when the original edition was first published back in 1989. He simplified financial concepts through his fictional barber and dispensed common sense advice like pay yourself first! Now, he’s back with a revised edition dedicated to a new generation of investors.
