Metro Morning CBC

Guest host Ramraajh Sharvendiran talks to a sports writer in Atlanta, just ahead of Canada's soccer game against Argentina's top ranked team. It's not about winning, nescessarily but it is about running. Also, if you are thinking about a green roof then you might want to listen in. And have you seen that Islamaphobic truck driving around the city? A conversation about who that hurts.

Guest host Molly Thomas talks to 1Password's Chief Eliminator of Obstacles Jeff Shiner about Collision Conference, the tech scene in the GTA and how his farm helps him run the billion-dollar success story. Also, a conversation with two people helping their neighbours survive the heat; and if getting to Toronto Islands is your choice for cooling down then you may want to listen to the conversation about how a foot bridge could leave the ferries in the dust.

Metro Morning's inaugural quiz game is a head scratcher of linked news stories. David Common plays against Metro Morning's business columnist, Mark Harrison. If you want play in a future game and win bragging rights, email us at metromorning@cbc.ca.

Guest host Molly Thomas speaks with the mayor of Oshawa after a short police investigation results in almost 100 arrests in a human trafficking ring in the downtown. Also in Oshawa, a high school student on the life-changing scholarship he received for community work and how it will make his dreams a reality. And Molly hears from a teacher in Toronto about trying to teach when your classroom temperature reaches 30 degrees with no cooling in sight.

Guest host Molly Thomas talks about the new, and old security measures that keep your car from being stolen. She also speaks to Omar Khan, who works with vulnerable youth about the recent spate of youth violence across the GTA. And, if you want to cast your mind back to a seemingly more simple time -- the time of the awkward family photo complete with uncomfortable poses, matching denim, and cheesy smiles. Then we have a conversation for you; a chat with the person behind the new Awkward Family Photos studio.

When host David Common was seven years old, a Big Brother entered his life and that relationship changed the trajectories of both their lives. On today's show David talks to his Big Brother, along with the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto. You might need a tissue.
David also speaks with Mayor Olivia Chow about the need to get the downtown working again.
