We begin with a look at the on-going weekend protests in Calgary’s ‘Beltline’ community. We speak with Global Reporter Sarah Offin about what, if anything, more can be done by City Police to put an end to the protests, which are causing ‘unrest’ to the residents of the downtown community.

Next we discuss the latest developments in the war in Ukraine. We talk with David Perry, President of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute for some insight into the Russian ‘strategy’ at this point, which includes targeting civilians and even hospitals.

It’s a new ‘initiative’ being put forth by the Calgary Public Library Foundation which encourages reading, and at the same time ‘celebrates’ Calgarians who’ve made in impact in our community. We speak with the subject of “chapter one” of the initiative, Jim Button, Co-Founder of ‘Village Brewery’ and ‘The Event Group’.

And finally, it’s “Motivational Monday”, our weekly segment aimed at helping you achieve your goals and live your best life! This week, we meet Brenda Frame, creator of “Frames Guest House”, and hear how she provides a “Home away from Home” for hospital patients and their families.

With the now-dead Event Centre deal still weighing heavily on the minds of Calgarians, people want to know if there is still even a chance for a rebirth! We talk about that, a new street harassment bylaw and a major housing announcement in Calgary, when we have our weekly chat with Mayor Jyoti Gondek.

The Premier has his own call-in radio show every Saturday morning (10-11am) on Corus Radio 770 CHQR in Calgary and 630 CHED in Edmonton – starting tomorrow.  Why give him this platform and what'll it sound like? We find out from the Regional Program Director for Corus Radio, John Vos.

The rising tensions in Ukraine are forcing world leaders to take economic action against Russia in an attempt to slow down Putin’s war machine. The U.S. has banned Russian oil imports, but what more will President Joe Biden do? We talk to Global News Washington Bureau Chief Jackson Proskow for an update on this, Covid and the Capitol insurrection.

And It’s Pharmacy Appreciation Month - and as with all front line workers, it’s been a very busy and sometimes difficult couple of years for pharmacists! We talk to pharmacist and owner of The Medicine Shoppe in SW Killarney, Amyn Kanji about the important role pharmacists play in health care?
