Show Notes

Seg 1: Can you hear silence?

Guest: Shayla Love, Freelance Science Journalist

Seg 2: The nominees are out for the Emmy Awards.

Guest: Scott Shantz, Contributor for Mornings with Simi

Seg 3: View From Victoria: 

Premier Eby said he’d signed the non-disclosure agreement on Surrey's proposal to retain RCMP so couldn’t say much about what he knew but said an announcement will come "as soon as possible”. We get a local look at the top political stories with the help of Vancouver Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer.

Seg 4: European green crabs have posed a problem off the coast of Vancouver Island for decades now, and while current conservation efforts have focused on deep freezing them and throwing them in a landfill, some suggest eating them instead.

Guest: Dr. Gabriela Bradt, Fisheries Extension Specialist at the University of New Hampshire's Sea Grant Program

Seg 5: E bikes and E Scooters seem to be everywhere these days and it makes sense. They’re a great option for commuters, they get people out of their cars, and they’re easy to park and store. But with them comes a fair share of Drama as well.

Guest: Scott Shantz, CKNW Contributor
