Role of the “Special Rapporteur,” Housing Affordability, Calgary Food Bank's “CanStruction,” and Cost of Meat with BonTon Meat Market

Not many of us have heard the term “Special Rapporteur” until recently. We speak with Brent Cameron – former Deputy Mayor of Central Frontenac, Ontario – and current Trade Policy Advisor – for an explanation as to where the term comes from – and what he thinks of the decision to appoint former Governor-General David Johnson to the role. Shelter is a basic need and right of everyone. With the high cost of living – how can we accurately define ‘affordable’ in terms of our monthly expenses and how do we ensure no one is left in the cold? We discuss with Dr. Ron Kneebone, Professor of Economics at the School of Public Policy from the University of Calgary. It’s a very creative way to make a difference in the lives of Calgarians in need. We catch up with Betty Jo Kaiser – Communications Coordinator with the Calgary Food Bank – for details on this year’s “CanStruction” event – taking place this week at Southcentre Mall. Finally, with the high price of meat these days, rib-eye steak may not be an option on your shopping list….but can you take a ‘cheaper cut’ and make it taste expensive? We discuss with Greg Keller – Owner of Calgary’s “BonTon Meat Market”.
