Taxes versus the necessities of life, Ozempic... 'the miracle drug', and Mario is retiring

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR TUESDAY, AUGUST 22ND   How much do Canadians pay in taxes compared to housing? We discuss the findings of a new study on the topic with Jake Fuss, Director of Fiscal Studies at the Fraser Institute.   It’s been called a “miracle drug”, but is that a good thing? What you need to know about the Diabetes drug-turned-weight-loss-tool “Ozempic” from Michael Orsini, Professor of “Feminist and Gender Studies” from the University of Ottawa.   And finally, he’s no doubt one of the most iconic video game characters of all time. And now after 27 years he is officially hanging up his cap. Yes. Mario is retiring! We get the details on Mario’s departure and the ‘end of an era’ for streaming giant “Netflix” from ‘The Gadget Guy’, Mike Yawney.
