Roy Green Show Podcast (w/Guest Host: David Peck), Feb, 26: Dr. Phoebe Stephens. Food Prices Rise as Stores See Profits. – Tim Ross. Is Co-op Housing a Solution? – Marc Mentzer. Should Cdns Skip Tips? – Don Duke. The Impact of Ohio Train Derailments.

Today’s podcast:

As food prices rise, Canadians struggle and grocery stores make profits. Loblaw reported earnings of $529M in Q4 profits while Cdn consumers are forced to prioritize their spending before they hit the checkout. What happens next?

Guest: Dr. Phoebe Stephens, Assistant Professor, Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture, Dalhousie University.

Another topic of concern is affordable housing. Is co-op housing a solution to rising retail prices? Our guest has called housing a human right.

Guest: Tim Ross, executive director of the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada.

Tip-flation is another concern among many Cdns as restaurnts and retail services adopt a tipping model. Some restaurants, however, seem to go in the opposite direction and adopt a “no-tipping” model where wages are higher, and the bill is all-inclusive.

Guest: Marc Mentzer, Professor of Human Resources and Organizational Behavior With the Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan.

We’ve been all following the recent train derailment in Ohio recently and sparking concerns and questions of the environmental impact from the incident.

Guest: Don Duke, professor and interim chair of ecology and environmental studies at Florida Gulf Coast University
