Mercedes Stephenson on Healthcare Crisis, IPSOS Polling on Canadian's Financial Health, Diabetes Awareness Month, and Tech Tuesday with the Gadget Guy

We begin with a look at the state of Healthcare in Canada. Are emergency rooms at their breaking point? Mercedes Stephenson, Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and Host of the West Block, joins us to share details of her conversation with a group of Physicians who are calling the current situation a “health-care crisis”.   Next, life has become less affordable for Canadians and a new survey on the topic breaks down the hardships many are currently facing, financially. We discuss the results of the survey with Sean Simpson, Senior Vice President of IPSOS Polling.   An estimated 300,000 plus Canadians have type-1 diabetes. We hear details on a new home-grown research project that could end insulin dependency for early ‘Stage-1’ diabetes.   Finally, would you pay a monthly fee to use ‘Twitter’? If new owner, Elon Musk has his way, you may have to shell out up to $20 per month to use certain features on the platform. We discuss the potential new ‘pricing structure’ with “The Gadget Guy”, Mike Yawney.
