Issues Week on Toronto at Noon with Dave Trafford

As Election Day draws nearer, Newstalk 1010 CFRB is set to kick off Issues Week on Toronto at Noon with Dave Trafford . Our Indepth coverage will go beyond the headlines and the "gotcha" journalism that tend to distract the media. We'll focus on the issues that matter to you. From Healthcare to Jobs and the Economy, Issues Week on Toronto at Noon with Dave Trafford will begin Monday, October 6th.

Monday, October 6 - Healthcare
CFRB's Lisa Naccarato will go Indepth on what use to be the Number One Issue for Canadians. Who's talking about it in this campaign and what are they saying exactly?

Tuesday, October 7 - The Environment
Stephane Dion rode the "Green Wave" to win the Liberal Leadership two years ago. Is the Environment an issue that will affect the outcome of this election? CFRB's Silvana Aceto will have details.

Wednesday, October 8 - Afghanistan
We support our troops but do we support the war in Afghanistan? CFRB's Mark Carcasole explores the story.

Thursday, October 9 - Crime&Justice
Jane Creba was shot to death on Boxing Day, 2005 and her murder may have turned the tide for Stephen Harper in the last election campaign among voters fed up with guns and gang violence on our streets. Are we any better off today? CFRB's Amber Gero and Brian Lilley team up to go indepth.

Friday, October 10 - Jobs & the Economy
With Wall Street and Washington facing an historic crisis, the manufacturing sector under seige on both sides of the border and Premier McGuinty admitting some industries are beyond recovery Jobs and the Economy are the number one issue in this election. CFRB's Steve Roberts and Katie Franzios go to the heart of blue collar Canada to find out how frontline families are coping with an uncertain future.
