Calgary's new 'Communities First' political party, The Bank of Canada's final rate decision, & 'Hockey Priest' - a book highlighting Father David Bauer

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR WEDNESDAY, DEC. 11TH ‘Communities First' is its name…and it’s a new group made up of a handful of Calgary city Councilors who want to, as they describe, “restore confidence in Calgary City Hall”. We learn more about the group from one of its founding members, Ward 1 Councilor – Sonya Sharp. Next – the final ‘Bank of Canada’ rate announcement of the year came down on Wednesday morning – and the Bank announced a half-point drop in its key lending rate. So, what’s this move mean for Canadian homeowners – and those looking at getting into the housing market? We discuss with Penelope Graham, Mortgage Expert with RateHub dot ca. And finally - Canada Sports Hall of Famer, Father David Bauer is being recognized by a local Professor. We speak with Dr. Matt Hoven – who penned the book “Hockey Priest” – which shines the spotlight on the influence Bauer had on our nation’s favourite Sport – including the impact the Father had on the National Hockey League.
