Episode Synopsis

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR MONDAY, JAN 20TH 
Amid what could be the deepest Canada-U.S. trade crisis in a century, Provincial Premiers have stepped into the leadership “void” created by the resignation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau -- Which leads to the question: Who truly speaks for Canada at this time? We tackle the topic with Mark Cameron, Senior Advisor of the Corporate & Industry Council and former Director of Policy and Research in the Office of the Prime Minister from 2006 to 2009.
Next – newly elected President Donald Trump has announced plans to address Rising Autism rates in the U.S. once he takes office. What’s behind the increase – and have we seen Autism cases on the rise here in Canada as well? We get the thoughts of Dr. Ted Jablonski – our ‘on-call’ family physician.
And finally - the third Monday in January is known as Blue Monday, considered the "most depressing day of the year" due to post-holiday blues, winter weather and mounting bills. We discuss whether or not ‘Blue Monday’ is really a ‘thing’ – and get some tips on how to beat the seasonal ‘blahs’ from Dr. Trina Clayeux, CEO of the mental health advocacy group “Give an Hour”.
