RRC Podcast - S2E10 - Alberta's New Chief Provincial Veterinarian

In this episode of the Rural Roots Canada Podcast, powered by Kubota Canada, hosts Tim Parent and Craig Lester kick things off by talking about Health Canada's decision to allow the emergency use of strychnine in Alberta and Saskatchewan to deal with an infestation of Richardson Ground Squirrels.  Then, we have an in-depth conversation with Alberta's new Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr. Hussein Kashwani, whose early experience on his family's poultry farm north of Edmonton still drives how he approaches animal health policy today. The conversation also delves into the shortage of rural vets in the province, and Dr. Kashwani's thoughts on how to lure more vets to rural practices.  All that and more in this episode of the RRC Podcast.
