Alberta's Broken Legal Aid System, COPD Day, Holiday Shopping Trends, and How to Stick to a ‘Sustainable’ Budget

It’s been a growing issue in the Province, what’s being called a “broken” legal aid system. We dig into what needs to be done to get the system back on track with Danielle Boisvert, President of the “Criminal Trial Lawyers Association”.   For over 66,000 Albertans living with COPD, everyday feels like you’re drowning. We learn about the signs and symptoms of the Disease from Dr. Erika Penz, Respirologist from the Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon.   Have you started your holiday shopping yet and where are you planning on spending your money this holiday season? We'll hear details on how Canadians plan on tackling their ‘gift lists’ this year, from Jane Domenico, Senior VP of the “REMS” National Retail Group.    Finally, it’s “Financial Literacy Month”. We continue our weekly series on the topic with Bruce Sellery, Financial Educator and CEO of “Credit Canada”. This time out, Bruce explains the importance of creating and sticking to - a ‘sustainable’ budget.
