Closer Look
In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find. This new podcast from Village Media — ‘Closer Look’ — is all about the stories we tell. Every weeknight, hosts Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith go beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.

Economy anxiety: How worried should you be?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you can’t make sense of the Canadian economy these days, you’re not alone. Inflation is soaring, interest rates are rising, yet unemployment rates are historically low. Although no one has a crystal ball, it sure seems like a recession is imminent. This week, Frisco and Scott try to make sense of it all with David Macdonald, a senior economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. Also on the podcast: We talk Queen Elizabeth—and The Chicken Man of Halton Hills.
