The cycle of Toronto's gun violence that statistics don't show

Guest: Jason Miller, Toronto Star crime reporter On Aug.16, eight-year-old JahVai Roy was shot and killed in his North York apartment when a bullet pierced his bedroom window. A teenager has since been charged, and Toronto police are looking for two more teen suspects. But for JahVai's family, the trauma didn't end that night. They're now displaced, grieving, and navigating a system with few real supports. In this episode, we look at how gun violence continues to disproportionately impact Toronto's most marginalized communities—even as crime stats go down—and what we're still missing in how we respond to the aftermath. Produced by Sean Pattendon

Mobile bodies

We all love to nerd out on the advances in the science of exercise but here's a practice that never required wearable technology: Early human movement. Like, leaping from a predator. Or, crouching as a hunter. Here is a bonus thought: By using our bodies the way they were originally intended - for mobility, balance and play – it could be a lot easier to, say, jump out of an airplane in your 80s. His body injured after a decade in Canadian pro-football, Andre and his yoga-practising gymnast wife Catalina talk mobility benefits at every life age. Meanwhile 10,000 feet above ground, Mary and Lina conquered those mobility issues by jumping out of an airplane, to teach their grandkids a thing or two about growing old. GUESTS: Former CFL star Andre Talbot and Catalina Moraga, the husband-and-wife owners of Spirit Loft Movement Centre in Toronto. And 80-something BFFs Mary Kelcey and Lina Zatzman, who enjoy a high-altitude adrenaline hit.

Shanaplan in shambles

Guest: Legendary sports broadcaster Dave Hodge, formerly of TSN and Hockey Night in Canada When Brendan Shanahan took over the helm of the Maple Leafs in 2014, he vowed not to repeat the sins of various predecessors accused of rushing the team-building process. Shanahan insisted he would exercise patience. But after eight post-season runs in which the Maple Leafs have only once advanced beyond the opening round, Shanahan's refusal to give up on the team's core stars is accompanied by the reek of stubborn incompetence. Here Arthur, Feschuk and Hodge try to make sense of Shanahan's approach while pointing out the glaring blind spots that have left the Maple Leafs a long way away from interrupting the longest Stanley Cup drought in the history of the NHL, 57 years and counting. PLUS: Arthur, Feschuk and Hodge discuss the highs and lows of the Shanaplan era.

Now, for the first time, she's trying to learn how to make it grow before she spends it all. Jason Heath, managing director of Objective Financial Partners, Inc., shares practical advice on how to start planning for your financial future, regardless of how much money you have in the bank.

Chay Ornthanalai, an associate professor at the Rotman School of Management, joins "This Matters" to explain what went wrong and explore why it is unlikely for such failures to happen in Canada. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley and Paulo Marques.
