Listen "Gun Violence in Calgary, State of Canada Healthcare, and Addressing Mental Health"

Episode Synopsis

What is behind the recent ‘spike’ in gun violence in Calgary and are we experiencing a rise in gang activity? We tackle the topic with Doug King, Professor of Justice Studies at Mount Royal University. 
 
Next, we Canadians like to believe our healthcare system is world class, but how do we stack up against other countries with Universal Health Care? We get the results of a new study focusing on just that with Bacchus Barua, Director of the Fraser Institute’s Centre for Health Policy Studies. 
 
Our mental health can affect every aspect of our lives both positive and negative. Mental Health Advocate Karen Gallagher-Burt joins us to focus on the mental health challenges faced by men and the resources available to help Calgary men going through a tough time.
