Oscars returned in-person for the first time since Covid last night.. in a new format. Which winners are the talk of the town today... and who surprised us? Host of CBC's podcast ”Pop Chat” Amil Niazi joins us for her Oscar reactions. Canada Reads kicks off today! (March 28th) Every year, five high-profile Canadians each select the one book they think all of Canada needs to read. Day-by-day, the competition thins...and one book is eliminated by panelists until a winner is crowned.This year’s theme is “One Book to Connect Us.” CBC’s Ali Hassan returns as host -- and he joins us today. Well, it finally happened. After a disappointing loss to Costa Rica last week...The Canadian men's soccer team secured a spot in the World Cup -- for the first time in 36 years. They beat Jamaica on Sunday. Our next guest watched the historic win from the stands last night. Christian Hoefler is the head coach of men's varsity soccer at Queen's University. He's also a former U-17 Team Canada player. One of Ontario's most prominent science experts through the pandemic is leaving his post. Dr. Peter Jüni is stepping down as scientific director of the COVID-19 Science Advisory Table. And taking on a new job at the University of Oxford. You've heard him on this show many times. And Dr. Jüni joins us again this morning to talk about what is currently happening in Ontario and why he's leaving. Later today Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier Ford will announce that ten-dollar a day daycare is coming to Ontario. The Ford government was the last to sign on to the Federal plan. Right now, parents in this city typically pay approximately 70 dollars a day for a toddler in daycare. Queen's Park reporter Mike Crawley joins us to break down the agreement and how it all played out politically. Central bankers on both sides of the border are getting increasingly nervous about the inflation picture. That has boosted speculation that both the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve will be even more aggressive in their rate decisions. And that has all kinds of implications for Canada’s hot housing market…consumer debt levels… and the economy. Donna Guzik joins us with more on this, and what else we should look for this week in the world of business.
