Healthcare Wait Times, Understanding Bill C-21, Calgary Food Bank Demand, and the BBB's “12 Scams of Christmas”

Health care wait times in Canada have increased almost 200 percent over the last twenty years. How does Alberta compare to the rest of the country when it comes to wait times, and what can be done to address the issue? We discuss with Bacchus Barua, Director of the Fraser Institute’s Centre for Health Policy Studies.   Next, we take a look at the controversy surrounding Bill-C21. What type of firearms are being targeted by the Bill and what impact will it have on the average gun owner? We get a breakdown from Dr. Noah Schwartz, Professor of Political Science from the University of the Fraser Valley.   The Calgary Food Bank needs your help this holiday season! From record high inflation to rising costs at grocery stores. Our “on-air contributor” Dave McIvor takes a look at the high demand at the Food Bank ahead of the holidays and what we can do as Calgarians to lend a hand.    Finally, 380 million dollars has been lost due to online shopping scams in North America so far in 2022. Before you make that online purchase this holiday season, make sure you're protecting your personal data! We discuss the “12 Scams of Christmas” with Mary O’Sullivan-Andersen, President and CEO of the BBB serving Southern Alberta and East Kootenay region.
