U.S. Midterms | Problem Properties | Driverless Cars | Sleep Days

Jerry opens the show with an open on the results of the U.S. midterm elections, as Democrats ride a blue wave and voters deliver their verdict on Donald Trump's tenure. Jerry shares his thoughts on what the outcome means for American politics and why Canadians should be paying attention.

Jerry usually isn't a fan of expropriation, but he thinks this case may be an exception. He discusses the City of Mississauga's move to expropriate two Port Credit homes after police were called to the properties hundreds of times over an 18-month period and asks whether governments should step in when neighbourhoods are repeatedly disrupted.

How safe are driverless cars? Jerry speaks with Linwood Barclay, bestselling Canadian author of Look Both Ways, about Waymo's autonomous vehicles, the future of self-driving technology, and how it mirrors themes explored in his novel.

Plus, Jerry takes calls on the idea of employers offering paid "sleep days" to workers. Is it a smart way to address burnout, or just another unnecessary workplace perk? Jerry takes listener calls.
