- The 2034 deadline: Why Ontario could run out of landfill capacity sooner than expected and why building new facilities takes years.
- The hidden cost to taxpayers: How rising garbage disposal costs could put additional pressure on municipal budgets, property taxes, and local services.
- Ontario's controversial landfill legislation: Whether new provincial powers could accelerate landfill construction despite community opposition.
- Landfills vs. incinerators: Could waste-to-energy technology help Canada solve its growing garbage problem?
- Trump's broader tariff strategy: Why the hosts question whether Canada is prepared for further trade restrictions.
