Homework for Colonizers, Keeping Ticks at Bay, Intergenerational Wealth, and Keeping Kids Fed

If you’re feeling unsettled with the disturbing findings of mass graves at former Residential schools, that’s exactly how you should be feeling says my first guest, Paulette Regan. Paulette is the author of Unsettling the Settler Within and has been directly involved with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada since inception. She joins me today to share how non-indigenous Canadians can do their part to ensure Truth and Reconciliation aren’t just empty words. Climate change may not be great for us but the tick population is having a love-in with their numbers exploding across the country and over 88 per cent of the reported cases of Lyme disease in 2016 were from Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, according to Health Canada. Dr. Jade Savage is the instigator of the eTick project, a citizen-science tick monitoring tool and information dissemination platform in Canada and joins me now to share why every Canadian should have this app on their phone. Ah, it seems like only yesterday we couldn’t leave the house because of Covid and now we’re shuttered in due to the heat. Thankfully Anne Brodie is tireless and joins me to share the best in entertainment this week with No Sudden Move on HBO, the God Committee and Paper Spiders on TVOD, and the hilarious Motherland on Sundance Now. Meridian Credit Union is back with the 3rd in a 8 part series on personal finance, and this week Nancy Taylor joins me to discuss generational wealth, and how the sandwich generation should be discussing money with their kids and their parents. Finally, during the pandemic, the number of Canadian children facing food insecurity and hunger rose from an estimated 12% to 19% nationally. This Summer, Food Banks Canada is aiming to send 150,000 healthy food packs tomFood Banks across the country -- to ensure that Canadian children have access to healthy food this Summer.
