Show Notes
Missed the show? No worries, we've got you covered with the ON Point podcast. On this episode Alex is first joined by a former Afghan interpreter and a man who is currently participating in a hunger strike on Parliament hill, Zahed. Alex and Zahed talk about how much the Canadian government has let down the Afghan people, and why he and others are doing this hunger strike.
Next, Alex is joined by Lorrie Goldstein, the editor emeritus and columnist for the Toronto Sun. Alex and Lorrie talk about the Environment Minister's new ambitious plan to heavily reduce carbon emissions in our gas and oil sector, but ignore the costs to average Canadians.
And finally, Alex is joined by Daniel Tisch, the president and CEO of Argyle Public Relations to about why Dollarama is upping the average price in their store to $5.
