Episode Synopsis

Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Thursday, February 6th 

 

We begin with the news from earlier week of anti-Semitic images spray painted in a Southeast Calgary neighbourhood. We check in with the Calgary Jewish Federation to get their take what police are investigating as a hate crime.

Next we get an update on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. With the appeal by four BC First Nations overturned this week, we look ahead to any other 'potential' roadblocks to the project. We talk with Vaughn Palmer - Provincial Affair's columnist with the Vancouver Sun.

Then we look at the technical "glitch" surrounding the Iowa Caucuses. We hear from David Taras, Professor of Communication Studies at MRU on the next move for the Democrats.

Next - we focus on the 'diet craze' that seems to never end. We speak with a dietician about the pros & cons of following a fad diet.

And finally, think of it as 'golden agers' - going for gold. We hear about "The All Seniors Games" - taking place this week across the nation at a chain of 31 senior's homes - and featuring competitors from 75 to 104 years old.
