Episode Synopsis

The 2024 Federal Budget was released earlier this week by the Liberal Government….So, what sort of an impact will it have here in Alberta – and on the ‘strained’ relationship between Ottawa and the Provincial Government? We get the thoughts of Lori Williams – Political Scientist with “Mount Royal University”.
‌Within the Federal Budget – is an ambitious goal to build 3.87 million new homes by the year 2031. The ‘boost’ in new ‘builds’ is certainly needed – but is the goal attainable? We discuss with Meaghon Reid - Executive director of Vibrant Communities Calgary.
And finally – we all keep our outdoor lights on at night – for safety….but did you know that ‘night light’ can have a huge, negative impact, on Calgary’s bird population? We speak with John McFaul from “Bird Friendly Calgary” to hear how bird migration can be hampered by “light pollution”.
