Mercedes Stephenson, Alberta's Energy Sector, and Wildfire Smoke Impact on Health

We begin with our weekly conversation with Mercedes Stephenson, Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and Host of ‘The West Block’. This time out, we get the latest on the ‘special investigation’ into Chinese Interference in our Federal Elections, including the next steps following recommendations from Former Governor General, David Johnston.  Next, with the Alberta Provincial Election just days away now we take a look at where the NDP and UCP stand on issues involving the Energy Sector. We speak with Ed Whittingham, Clean Energy, Policy and Finance Consultant.  Finally, we’ve heard the health warnings surrounding the wildfire smoke and those suffering from respiratory conditions, but just how much of a health concern is the smoke for the average person? We discuss with Dr. Ted Jablonski, our “on-call family physician”.
