Bontis on Business

Business and financial expert Nick Bonits joins us and first off we’re going to talk more about the Heinz plant closure in Leamington. What does the closure say about the manufacturing sector in Ontario?

Also this week, the Playstation 4 is on sale. Is this a good start for Sony?

Mayor Rob Ford’s silhouette is featured in an ad for Spirit Airline associating with Ford. They’re offering flights to the Toronto area, actually the Niagara Falls Airport, for less than $30, and its ad says “we’re not smoking crack” – “this fare sale is real”. Do you think this will benefit the business?

Meanwhile, the Ford Motor Company is distancing itself from Mayor Ford. Apparently, it’s logo was used for Mayor Ford t-shirts. What do you make of this?
