Listen "Ineffective Sanctions on Russia, Drought Conditions in Alberta, and Martha Hart on the Fill the Jeep' Food Drive Campaign"

Episode Synopsis

Remember when the Russian Invasion of Ukraine started and allied countries used economic sanctions to hamper Russia’s ability to wage war? Well, that certainly didn't work, but why didn’t it? We discuss the ‘golden’ reason sanctions were not effective with Robert Huish, Professor in International Development Studies with Dalhousie University.

Calgary isn’t implementing water restrictions yet, but restrictions are likely coming soon as the seasonal forecast is calling for another dry Spring and Summer ahead for the city. We get an update on the situation with Tricia Stadnyk, Professor and Canada Research Chair in ‘Hydrologic Modelling’ with the University of Calgary's Schulich School of Engineering.
 
Finally, a little food can go a long way! We get details on this year’s Easter 'Fill The Jeep' Food Drive Campaign in support of the Calgary Food Bank. We get details on how you can lend a hand with Dr Martha Hart, event organizer and Founder of the Owen Hart Foundation.
