Bad olive harvest in Europe leads to Canadian crackdown on olive oil

There’s been bad weather and fires in parts of Europe where olives are grown, so there’s been a bad harvest there this year. And that means the cost of olive oil has been shooting up - which could present some temptation for olive oil producers to lower the quality of their products to compensate for that.

So now, the Canadian government is keeping a close eye on olive oil producers to make sure that doesn’t happen.

First comes Tinder, then comes marriage! That may sound strange to some of our older listeners, but according to Dr.  Jocelyn Wentland, an adjunct professor of psychology at UBC’s Okanagan campus, if you’re looking for love, you should be taking your search online.

CKNW Contributor Claire Allen spoke with professor Wentland about how searching for love went from something people hid to be the main way to meet someone.
