Ontario's Risky Roadways & The Road to Vision Zero

An 11-year-old boy crossing the street after leaving school has become the latest person to be added to a long list of pedestrian fatalities in Ontario. Lawyer Patrick Brown, Toronto Police superintendent Scott Baptist, and Share the Road Cycling Coalition's Jamie Stuckless, join The Agenda to discuss how to keep the province's roads safe for all. As pedestrian deaths rise in Toronto, many are wondering what happened to the city's Vision Zero strategy, implemented last year. This month, Mississauga voted for the strategy, and Hamilton and Kingston city councils are investigating whether it could work for them. Pamela Fuselli of Parachute, an organization dedicated to preventing injury, and Leah Shahum of the Vision Zero Network, join Steve Paikin to discuss how some cities have had success with the plan, and what Ontario can learn from them. There is little doubt that cars have played a major role in shaping North American cities. But a century ago, it was pedestrians that ruled the roads. According to Peter Norton, author of "Fighting Traffic: the Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City," they weren't quite as accepting of the dawn of the automobile age as some might believe. He joins Steve Paikin to discuss his research.

Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service

Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant. This insider will not only remain a secret to the staff, but will also help Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before. By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people. Are the restaurant and staff willing to accept Gordon's mission, or are they too far gone to be saved?
