Welcome to the MWSA Podcast for Thursday, July 8.

We have details on a new study focusing on the serious impacts the pandemic has had on Calgarians living in poverty. We discuss the research with the Executive Director of “Vibrant Communities Calgary”.

A new report on climate change says disasters like the fire that destroyed Lytton, BC last week are going to become more frequent in the coming years. There's a new report authored by Kelly Vodden, Professor (Research), Environmental Studies, Grenfell Campus and Department of Geography, St. John’s Campus Memorial University.

From Uganda to Ethiopia, to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We hear the personal story of Myriam Huser, a Canadian bush pilot who just penned her first book titled “They Call Me Sky Hunter”.

And It’s an "eye popping" way to spread the Stampede Spirit. We speak with Brad Dezotell, President of “Fireworks Spectaculars” to get details on Friday night’s Four-City fireworks show that will light up Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and Lethbridge.

We begin with news that City Council has approved 5 new communities for Calgary.  We discuss the move and explore the impact the decision will have on ‘urban sprawl’ in city with Ward 3 Councilor Jasmine Mian.

Then we head stateside for an update on news making headlines South of the border. We catch up with Jennifer Johnson, Global News Washington Correspondent, for a look at President Joe Biden’s plummeting approval ratings, and an update on rising cases of COVID-19.

It’s a hot topic right now in the U.S. but what do Canadians think about the current discussion surrounding  access to abortion?  We hear the results of new polling on the topic from Sanyam Sethi, Vice President, Public Affairs with Ipsos Public Polling.

Finally, the Calgary Stampeders are set to take the field at McMahon Stadium this weekend for the first time in almost a month.  We get a ‘Stamps-Bombers’ game-preview from a man who knows more than a little bit about the game: Calgary Stampeders President and GM, John Huffnagel.

UCP Leadership Debate, Calgary Chamber Discusses Effect of Higher Inflation on YYC Business and Taxing Churches

We begin with a wrap-up of the Pope’s visit to Alberta which concluded Tuesday, following Mass at Commonwealth Stadium. We speak with Jeremy Bergen, a Professor of Religious Studies from the University of Waterloo, for his thoughts on how the Pope’s apology was received here in the Province and if the Catholic Church needs to go further.

Premier Jason Kenney announced the removal of the Provincial Tax on gas weeks ago and the market price of oil has declined.   So, why aren’t we seeing these factors being reflected at the pumps? We discuss with Dan McTeague, President of ‘Canadians for Affordable Energy’.

Next, an update on the ‘Rogers-Shaw’ deal. We speak with Ben Klass, PhD Candidate in Journalism and Communication from Carleton University. Ben discusses the impact last month’s Rogers outage may have on the deal and how merging the companies may not give consumers the best ‘bang’ for their ‘buck’.

Finally, the weather is heating up ahead of the long weekend. We get some tips on water safety for those planning a ‘float’ down the river to keep cool from Carol Henke, Public Information Officer with the Calgary Fire Department.
