Canada's Aurora Aircraft Patrol Fleet, Flu and Covid Vaccines, and The Mitten Project

The federal government is under fire over an exclusive deal with Boeing to replace Canada’s aging Aurora aircraft patrol fleet. We discuss the issue - and Canada’s defense shortcomings - with Mercedes Stephenson - Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and Host of "The West Block".  Have you rolled-up your sleeves this year? Cold and flu season is here - but Albertans are falling behind the rest of the nation on this critical vaccine coverage. We get some insight as to what may be behind the hesitation – with Calgary-based Pharmacist, Jason Chan-Remillard.  If you are homeless, it can obviously be challenging to keep warm over the winter months in Calgary - and that just happens to be the main goal of the “Mitten Project” – in support of “Be The Change YYC”. We discuss the current ‘need’ in the city – and just how crucial a warm pair of gloves or mitts can be for those living outside this time of year – with Chaz Smith, Founder and CEO of “Be The Change YYC”.
