WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR MONDAY, OCTOBER 28TH The Federal Government has announced reductions to immigration target levels. What is behind this decision and what sort of an impact will these changes have on housing availability and affordability? We tackle the topic with Victoria Esses, Director of the ‘Network for Economic and Social Trends' at Western University. As if making ‘healthy’ food choices on a daily basis isn’t hard enough, new research is now suggesting ‘how’ we cook our food should also be a consideration. We catch up with Dr. Ted Jablonski for details on a new study focusing on the potential health risks of cooking with ‘non-stick’ pots & pans. Next. Spring 2025 will be the kickoff for Canada’s new professional women’s soccer team, and Calgary's “Wild FC” will be one of the founding clubs of the Northern Super League. Last week, the club announced their first player signing! We meet Farkundha Muhtaj, former Captain of the Afghanistan Women's National Football Team. And finally, it’s the trip of a lifetime and a true slice of Canadiana! Ever wanted to get up close and personal with the polar bears? Well, Sue did, and YOU can too. We hear details of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from Cate Collins, Lead Scientist with “Gold Star Canadian Tours”.
