Retirement Savings, Provincial Police, Trade War
The trade war is forcing some Canadians to get rid of their Florida homes at an inopportune time. Alberta is planning to create an independent police force as an alternative option to the RCMP. And with the markets crashing, are you keeping a closer eye on your retirement savings?

Stock market tanking, Alberta fighting with Ott...
The stock market continues to react to U.S. President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs. Canada avoided much of the chaos, this time around, but the ripple effect is still impacting us here at home. The word 'recession' is being thrown around by some economists. How likely is it? Charles St. Arnaud discusses the possibility with Shaye. Premier Danielle Smith has pulled no punches when it comes to her commitment to battle with Ottawa, on several issues. Is it worth the fight? Eric Adams answers that for us. As we head into week three of the federal election campaign, a lot of the leaders' time has been spent propping up big tax cuts for you and I. One issue that needs more attention, according to a former minister of national defence, is, you guessed it, our national defence.

Shaye takes some time today breaking down how much of Canada is engrained in the U.S. auto sector with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. After that we look into an evolving discussion surrounding Canadian dairy after Donald Trump’s threat to our supply management system. We get both perspectives on this with an Alberta farmer, Jeff Nonay & an agriculture opinion writer, Will Verboven. Then, we are riding on the all-Canadian RV as Cara Csizmadia with the Canadian Camping and RV Association tells us how busy they are. And one last call from Crossfield's mayor as Hockeyville voting soon ends.
