Show Notes
"The West wants in" when it comes to meaningful investment from the federal government. With the Liberals' budget coming out on Monday, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' Western Economic Solutions Taskforce (WEST) is honing in on specifics. Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark, Yorkton Councillor Randy Goulden, and Rural Municipalities of Alberta president Paul McLaughlin discuss the potential impact of expanding national trade corridors, improving rail safety, addressing costs facing Canadian farmers, and other proposals. Ask any rural resident or business owner in Canada: crime is often a very real and pervasive issue. Filmmaker Geoff Morrison, who just released season two of Farm Crime on CBC Gem, talks about some of the more remarkable stories and common sentiments he's seen. Ryan wraps up the show with a powerful follow-up to yesterday's discussion about Emily (and Colby) Cave.
