Full Show: How close is mind reading technology?, Investigating Oil and Gas prices & Vancouver's 'Brick Cross Walk"

Seg 1: How mind-reading technology is helping the paralyzed walk
As researchers continue to explore the frontiers of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, profound ethical questions arise regarding the implications of mind-reading technology.
Guest: Dr. Paul Bentley, Professor of Computer Science at University College London
Seg 2: Where are the germiest places in your office?
Are you a germaphobe? If you are, there are a few places at your place of work that you may want to avoid!
Guest: Scott Shantz, Contributor for Mornings with Simi
Seg 3: View From Victoria: A frustrated government doing what?
From gunfire in downtown Vancouver, to repeated ER closures and open drug use and overdose deaths, the NDP government is frustrated, shocked and disgusted, but will they change the way they have been governing for the last 7 years?
Guest: Vaughn Palmer, Vancouver Sun Columnist
Seg 4: Do protests still impact the decisions of our leaders?
From gas prices, to carbon taxes to the ‘free palestine’ movements that are being seen across Canada, how much do politicians actually listen to protests in this country?
Guest: Scott Shantz, CKNW Contributor
Seg 5: Should there be an investigation into the price of oil and gas?
A letter has been sent to the Liberals calling for them to get the Competition Bureau to launch an investigation into oil and gas profits. They will also summon oil/gas CEOs to parliament to testify on gas prices.
Guest: Peter Julian, NDP MP for Burnaby – New Westminster and NDP House Leader
Seg 6: Why does Vancouver have a "Pedestrian Brick Crossing" system?
The "Pedestrian Brick Crossing System" was introduced due to ongoing safety concerns at the Granville Island crosswalk in Vancouver. Despite being a bustling area, pedestrians often face danger due to drivers failing to yield.
Guest: Lucy Maloney, Traffic Safety Advocate at Vision Zero Vancouver
Seg 7: Are eclipses cosmic accidents?
While eclipses are relatively common in the universe, the specific type of solar eclipse that captivates observers, characterized by the emergence of a blood-red ring and shimmering corona surrounding a blackened sun, is considered an extraordinary occurrence.
Guest: Dr. Adam Frank, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Rochester
