Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Thursday, July 2nd.

We begin with a look at the benefits of Telemedicine. We get the thoughts of a Doctor – and Policy Researcher from McMaster University - on whether he thinks the practice should remain in place post-pandemic.

It’s the story of ‘the big guy’ – helping out ‘the little guy’. We hear details of a new initiative launched by Kijiji – which aims to promote small, local businesses.

Bots and trolls control much of the online content on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We catch up with a Professor and Social Media Researcher with an explanation on how this is happening and what can we do about it?

The pandemic has affected our world in so many ways...but it's also meant an increase in our cost of living. We get the details on a new Ipsos poll on what Canadians say we're now paying more for.

And finally….What do the band Walk Off The Earth and French's ketchup have in common? They are both 100% made in Canada - and they teamed up to celebrate our nation’s birthday. We meet lead singer Sarah Blackwood - and hear their new ‘saucy’ version of “Oh Canada”.
