Mental Health & Domestic Violence, Rates and Mortgage Renewals, and The Impact of Rapid Population Growth.

A tragic homicide outside a Calgary school has brought the issue of domestic violence back into the spotlight. We discuss the prevalence of domestic violence in our community and the resources available for victims in the city with Mental Health Advocate, Karen Gallagher-Burt.  Next, are you getting nervous about your upcoming mortgage renewal? With interest rates higher than they’ve been in years – it’s a challenging time for those now in the ‘renewal’ process. We get some advice on how to navigate the current market from Victor Tran, Mortgage Expert with ‘Ratesdot.ca’.  Finally, how can Canada safeguard support for immigration while avoiding any negative consequences of rapid population growth? We tackle the topic with Alicia Planincic, Economist & Manager of Policy with the Business Council of Alberta.
