Listen "Government Support Programs, Canada's E.I. Program, Campsite Bookings Begin and Leo Namen talks climbing Everest after a Heart Attack"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Thursday, March 4th.
We begin with a look at this week’s announcement of the extension of some of the government support programs, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We speak with Jack Mintz from the U of C’s School of Public Policy – on how long these programs should be kept in place – and eventually – how they should be ‘phased out’.
Next we examine the state of Canada’s ‘employment insurance’ program. We catch up with Jake Fuss from the Fraser Institute, who says the current version of E.I. is outdated – and needs to be overhauled.
It’s a day most Alberta campers have had ‘circled’ on the calendar for quite some time. We speak with an Alberta Parks Ambassador about the kick-off to online campsite booking at Provincial sites – and how this year, campers can expect some changes.
And finally – we hear the incredible story of an Edmonton man’s journey from suffering a heart-attack, to planning a trip to climb Mount Everest. We meet Leo Namen – and hear about the reason behind his ambitious plan.
