WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR FRIDAY, JAN 17TH
We begin with our weekly conversation with Mayor Jyoti Gondek. This time out, we look at Council’s decision to vote down a bid to freeze wages for both the Mayor and Councilors earlier this week – and discuss the large increases Calgarians have seen in their 2025 Property Assessments.
A common additive in food and drink products has been banned by the FDA in the United States – So why haven’t we followed suit here in Canada? We hear all about the health concerns surrounding “Red Dye No. 3” – and discuss whether or not the additive could soon be banned here as well with Dr. Emma Allen-Vercoe, Canada Research Chair – and Professor at the University of Guelph.
And finally - remember the days of getting coupons in the mail for your groceries and watching the sticker prices of items “tick down” at the cash register?…Well, you better hold on to that memory because its soon to be gone with electronic price labels popping up in Canada – which can ‘adjust’ prices on Grocery Store shelves in real time. We learn about the ‘price changing’ technology from Vass Bednar, contributing columnist for The Globe and Mail.
