Alberta's Political Landscape, USA Blocking Article 99, and Childrens Eye Care

Rumours about the future of NDP leader Rachel Notley are swirling, with speculation she’ll soon step down. We get the latest on Alberta’s political landscape – including an update on the state of the proposed Alberta Pension Plan - from Lori Williams, Mount Royal University Political Scientist. The UN Security Council is calling for the use of Article 99 to help push for a ceasefire between Israel and terrorist group Hamas. To discuss the resolution and why the US has blocked it, we spoke with Robert Huish, Associate Professor in International Development Studies at Dalhousie University. And when you’re thinking about gifts for the kids this holiday season – you might want to take eye health into consideration. We invited Dr. Vivian Hill, Pediatric ophthalmologist and chair of the council on advocacy of the Canadian Ophthalmological Society, to join us to discuss the impact screens have on the eye health of our kids.
