Dan Ahlstrand and Clinton Wilkins discuss how The Bank of Canada has kept its key overnight rate steady, which has no immediate impact on variable rate mortgages.

It's been an interesting past few months for the Federal Conservatives, from several MPs crossing the floor, to reports of inner-circle fighting, to Pierre Poilievre questioning PM Carney's education in economics. In more recent events, the Federal Opposition leader has since claimed that Canada is in a 'full-blown' recession, and has called for unity among Alberta separatists. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Glen McGregor, political correspondent for CityNews to discuss what challenges Poilievre's caucus may return to after the summer recess, and what issues are currently dividing the party.

Hi, I'm Chanelle, a 16-year-old entrepreneur from Saskatoon, and the founder of Chic & Charmed Boutique. I started the brand at 13, and in just a few years, I've grown it into a national jewellery brand with customers across Canada. I built it through trade shows, strong online sales, and billboard advertising, even having my brand featured on billboards across my city while still in high school. I've also taken the brand on a Canada-wide tour, showcasing in cities like Saskatoon, Calgary, Winnipeg, Regina, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Toronto, continuing to expand into new markets across the country. Balancing school and business hasn't been easy, but it's pushed me to stay disciplined and think bigger at a young age. I've been featured on outlets like CTV, Global News, and CityNews, and have showcased at major events like the National Women's Show and Calgary Stampede. For me, it's about showing that age doesn't limit what you can build, it can actually be your advantage.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspiring-stories--2917948/support.

In this episode, Shawna sits down with Chantelle Archambault, Communications Director at the Vancouver Humane Society, for an important conversation about animal advocacy, public awareness, and how change actually happens at the community and policy level. Chantelle has worked as the Communications Director at the Vancouver Humane Society since 2021. She is passionate about justice for all, both humans and animals, and has worked with non-profit organizations that focus on family services, social justice advocacy, and creating safer spaces for marginalized communities. Chantelle's lifelong commitment to the ethical treatment of animals inspired her to volunteer for the Toronto Humane Society and later to move across Canada to take on her current role at the VHS. She has appeared in media outlets including the CBC, CTV News, CityNews, and the Daily Hive. Together, Shawna and Chantelle discuss the work the Vancouver Humane Society does behind the scenes, including past and current campaigns, efforts to raise awareness about the cruelty of rodeos and horse racing, and why these practices are still widely misunderstood or normalized. They also explore the bigger picture of advocacy, including how individuals can engage with local government officials, speak up about animal welfare issues, and help drive meaningful change through education and policy. This episode is a blend of advocacy, education, and empowerment, perfect for anyone interested in animal welfare, ethical living, and making an impact in their local communities.

As Prime Minister Mark Carney heads for the G20 Summit in South Africa, his trip to the United Arab Emirates proved to be one focused on strengthening diplomatic ties and potential foreign investment relations.However, mention of the UAE's alleged involvement in the war in Sudan was something many Canadians and human rights activists felt was missing from the trip's itinerary.Amnesty International claims credible sources have found the UAE to be in violation of the United Nations' arms embargo to Sudan's Darfur region, something the UAE repeatedly denies. The Sudanese war broke out in 2023, as its army battles for power against a paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces. More than 150,000 lives have been claimed.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Glen McGregor, political correspondent for CityNews to break down the implications of Carney's trip to the Middle East, and how the omission for holding the UAE accountable could have consequences for Canada's humanitarian image.

From Conversative to Liberal, Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont did more than just cross the floor after the budget was tabled.It begged the question of whether or not Conservatives still believe Poilievre is doing the right thing at the top. After the fallout of the leader's comments on the RCMP, thorough conversations will be held ahead of January's Conservative Convention, where Poilievre's leadership will be brought into question for his party to decide on his fate.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Glen McGregor, political correspondent for CityNews to dig into what d'Entremont's move implies for the broader picture of the future of Poilievre's Conservatives, and just how likely other Tories could fall for Carney's right-of-centre playbook.

More than 750,000 Alberta students have been spending the better part of October not in a classroom, but rather left to their own devices as a historic province-wide teachers strike heads into a third week.Although higher wages and increased staffing are among the key sticking points for the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA), the thousands of educational workers currently on the picket lines are looking for a generational change across the province's education sector. However, the Smith government doesn't seem to be budging on how far they want to reach into their pockets, with the Premier even considering ordering a back-to-work if kids aren't back in the classrooms by the time the legislature returns.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Sean Amato, Alberta politics reporter for CityNews to break down what the last few weeks have looked like during the province's first ever teacher strike, and how close the ATA is to getting what they're fighting for.

Instead of walking into their classrooms on Monday, some 51,000 Alberta teachers walked off the job, triggering the province's first teacher's strike in its history. It comes after more than a year of failed contract talks between the Alberta Teacher's Association (ATA) and the provincial government - including two rejected offers - with higher wages and increased staffing among the main sticking points.But class (sort of) remains in session for the more than 730,000 students who've been affected by the job action, with the province posting an online learning toolkit of lessons, as well as a stipend of $30 a day to help families who's children are now at home. Teachers, however, will not be monitoring or assessing work during this time, so who's to say what degree of learning will realistically take place. Host Richard Southern speaks to Sean Amato, Alberta political reporter for CityNews to discuss what a potentially weeks-long education strike could mean for the province's public school system, and the reaction from hundreds of thousands of families who will now have to play the role of 'educator' at home or pay someone else to do it instead.

The Alberta government has reversed its July order for schools to remove books and other materials that contain explicit sexual content.The pause came after several critics spoke out against the Edmonton Public school board's list of the more than 200 titles it planned on pulling from its library shelves.But Premier Danielle Smith and Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides didn't seem to hit the pause button because of those outcries, nor did they indicate how long it should last.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Sean Amato, Alberta political reporter for CityNews, to discuss the potential of the ban rematerializing as the new school year continues to settle in, and who else - other than Margaret Atwood - Premier Smith is looking for support from.
