UCP Leadership Debate, Calgary Chamber Discusses Effect of Higher Inflation on YYC Business and Taxing Churches

We begin with a look at Wednesday night’s UCP leadership debate held in Medicine Hat. We get the thoughts of Geoffrey Hale, Professor of Political Science at the University of Lethbridge. Next, it’s our monthly conversation with the Calgary Chamber. We speak with Ruhee Ismail-Teja, the Chamber’s Director of Policy and Communications. Ruhee brings us details on the impact this year’s Stampede had on local businesses and a look at the challenges ahead, as we move into Fall. Finally, ahead of Pope Francis’ visit to Iqaluit the Nunavut capital is taking steps to revoke the tax exempt status of religious institutions. We discuss the proposal with Jeff Semple, Digital Broadcast Journalist with Global News.
