Israel Vows to Respond to Iran's Ballistic Missile Attack

Fight Back with Libby Znaimer

THE MEDICAL RECORD: WHY BREAST CANCER RATES ARE RISING AMONG YOUNGER WOMEN Marissa Lennox is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Dr. Malcolm Moore, Medical Oncologist, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and a former head of BC Cancer, Dr. Alisa Naiman, a family doctor practicing comprehensive primary care in Toronto, and Dr. Amol Verma, a clinician-scientist and staff physician in General Internal Medicine at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and new research from the American Cancer Society shows breast cancer rates are rising among younger women, particularly those under 50. What’s driving this rise? How should we be rethinking screening and awareness? And, with everything we know about early diagnosis saving lives, why are so many young women not getting diagnosed until later stages? IRAN ATTACKS ISRAEL TARGETING CIVILIANS & ISRAEL VOWS TO RESPOND Marissa Lennox is now joined by Richard Goldberg, a Senior Advisor at the Foundation for Defence of Democracies who served on the White House National Security Council staff. He was also sanctioned by Iran in 2008. Yesterday, the world watched as Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles at Israel directly targeting civilians across the country. Most of those missiles were intercepted successfully by Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to retaliate saying, “Iran made a big mistake tonight – and it will pay the price for it”. So, how exactly does Iran’s terror attack change the war and how might Israel actually respond? ONTARIO INCREASES THE MINIMUM WAGE Marissa Lennox is now joined by Moshe Lander, Senior Lecturer of Economics at Concordia University in Montreal. Yesterday, Ontario increased the minimum hourly wage from $16.55 to $17.20. What are the implications of that as people grapple with the higher cost of living?
