Should the Liberals go 'all in'? Our province's role at the G7 summit, GST tax holiday on Alberta businesses

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR WEDNESDAY, JAN 22ND  Is the ‘key’ to success for the Liberal Leadership race to go “all in” – or to play it safe? We discuss the focus – and the strategies of the declared candidates with Colin Horgan – a writer, communications professional and former speech writer for Justin Trudeau. Next – the eyes of the world will be on Alberta this coming June – as we play host to this year’s “G7 Summit”. We discuss what this means for our Province’s role on the international stage with Former Calgary Mayor Al Duerr – who was in power when Alberta was last chosen to host the G7 meeting - back in 2001. And finally – has the so-called “GST Tax Holiday” had any impact on your spending habits? While the tax ‘break’ was intended to help both Canadian consumers – and businesses - many restaurant and pub owners are unhappy with the temporary tax cut. We get details as to why – from Mona Pinder – Director of the Alberta Hospitality Association.
