Today’s podcast:
Alberta in 2023. On the first weekend of the year we speak with Premier Danielle Smith about the scheduled provincial election on May 29, 2023. Other issues the premier considers key for the people of Alberta and Alberta's role nationally, including her government's relationship with the federal government. That includes Alberta's challenging Ottawa on Bill C-21 and the premier's response to Ottawa's call to participate in a "just transition" for Alberta's energy sector workers.
Guest: Danielle Smith. Premier. Alberta.
In June of 2021, Chief Cadmus Delorme of Cowesses First Nation in Saskatchewan announced the finding of 751 unmarked graves at a cemetary near the site of the former Marieval Indian Residential School. What are the issues of greatest interest and substance for Indigenous people in Canada as we begin 2023, in the spirit of national reconciliation?
Guest: Chief Cadmus Delorme. Cowesses First Nation, Saskatchewan.
Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 is the new threat, but how much of a threat? Is this the year Covid should be declared endemic instead of a public health emergency, particularly as it continues to mutate and present itself in potentially more dangerous forms? - Are vaccines and boosters the answer to keep the wraps on Covid largely in '23? - Preceding variants. How much of a threat do they continue to present. - Vaccines and boosters.
As well: So-called superbugs resistent to antibiotics. England's chief public health officer has warned of an apocalypse should superbugs largely negate antibiotics.
Guest: Dr. Joseph Blondeau. Clinical microbiologist and head of Clinical microbiology at Saskatoon's Royal University Hospital and the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Blondeau is a globally respected leader in microbiology and has published in excess of 160 peer reviewed manuscripts. Recent recipient of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal
As the war between Ukraine and Russia begins its second calendar year Putin announced and violated a 36 hour ceasefire January 6 and 7 over Orthodox Christmas which Ukraine president Zelenskyy argued was just a Putin ruse to resupply Russian troops and stop the advances of Ukraine's military. Meanwhile the U.S., France and Germany announce more battlefield armoured vehicles for Ukraine but stop short of the heavy battle tanks Ukraine is asking for. Canada has delivered four M777 Howitzers to Ukraine meanwhile. We feature a year-starting interview with Ukraine's Ambassador to Canada.
We will also ask the Ambassador to comment on the fact this is the 3rd anniversary of the shooting down by Iran of Ukraine Airlines Flight PS 752 with dozens of Canadian citizens and permanent residents onboard.
Guest: Ambassador Yulia Kovaliv. Ukraine Ambassador to Canada.
Today marks the 3rd anniversary of Iran shooting down Ukraine Airlines Flight 752 over Tehran claiming more than 170 lives, including 138 who had ties to Canada. 55 were Canadian citizens, 30 were permanent residents of Canada.
Guest: Amir Arsalani. Member of the Association of Families of Flight PS 752 victims.
