problem extreme heat Sarah Kowski reports we couldn't stay Outdoors something I've never seen ter of heat ray ruin is the mayor of poat in the Northwest Territories a hamlet on the Northern Arctic Coast that weeks ago recorded its highest ever temperature 31° C the mayor says it's worrying in a community where air conditioning is still very rare there's not too many ways that we can stay cool uh we're to stay warm you know against the cold and the winter elements Caroline met studies extreme heat at the University of waterl we're seeing more heat heat waves um they're more frequent they are lasting longer they're happening in places that didn't have them before in the north heat can be more dangerous many people are far from hospitals lack air conditioning and already face high energy costs but these communities do have one advantage social cohesion is a really important factor for resilience Mets says heat related illnesses can be prevented just by people checking in on

spot for tourists and is often a stop for cruise ships Governor Mike D leevy says the landslide yesterday afternoon killed one person three others were injured several homes in some infrastructure were damaged officials in Alaska say they are receiving support from all levels of government Australians now have the right to ignore their bosses outside working hours the right to disconnect law takes effect today workers are now protected if they do not want to monitor read or respond to contact from their employers outside work hours more than 20 countries mostly in Europe and Latin America have adopted the right to disconnect freelance reporter Phil Mercer has reaction from Sydney I suppose it's a form of anxiety you feel the phone ring and I don't think it's one of my friends or family I think it's work there is some expectation that I do pick up Australians are reacting to new rules saying they can now break free from the stress of after hours calls and emails from work you should be able to come to an agreement with your boss whereby it can be amicable but I do think generally today there is far more of an expectation for people to be contacted out of ours the new guidelines brought in by Australia's center-left labor party will be enforced by the country's fairwork commission companies founding contravention will face Hefty fines however there's still a gray area in some cases where bosses need to consider workers ignoring contact as reasonable Brent Ferguson is from the Australian Industry Group what's reasonable or unreasonable is going to depend on the individual circumstances and that uncertainty is part of the difficulty that industry is really grappling with at the moment Australian workers now have a right to disconnect which is really awesome Sally McManus is the secretary of the Australian Council of trade unions not all employers but some employers have completely blurred or just crossed over those boundaries and are expecting people to be connected and answer their emails and look at their phones 24/7 and that's just not on the covid pandemic and remote work setups blurred the lines between employment and private lives observers say Australia's right to disconnect law is an attempt to rebalance the Working Day filmer surface CBC News Sydney and that is the latest National and international news from world report news anytime at cbcnews.ca I'm Maria young well good Monday morning Manitoba I'm rcy marusa and this is information radio we are live downtown on 893 FM 990 a.m. on the app for YouTube after a muggy night in Winnipeg we will get into your uh current forecast uh for your Monday morning in a moment uh the heat will let up a little bit today right now though it is 17° in the city of Winnipeg this hour on the show two cyclists with Parkinson's disease are cycling across Canada they're trying to defy the odds and bring awareness to the disease we caught up with them on their pit stop in Brandon so we'll hear that also Health experts argue that empowering poorer countries to develop their own Health Solutions is key for future pandemic Readiness but what does that look like we're going to explore some strategy IES for better preparedness for Health Emergency like moox and ask how Global Health policies uh can adapt so stay tuned for that conversation as well this hour and girls in organized Sports we're going to talk about uh how the numbers are still not adding up and why we had a really interesting conversation about this topic actually on our program with two uh former Manitoba Olympians but this is going to look into some of the latest research and a new report so stay tuned for that uh it is right now 611 and Matt Humphrey is in with our headlin hi Matt good morning a Southwestern Manitoba community of fewer than a 100 people is in shock after overnight storms damaged their local arena the stormy weather damaged the arena in Fox Warren which is just south of the town of Russell not far from the Saskatchewan border we'll hear from some people there at the bottom of the hour an a Winnipeg senior says she's out thousands of dollars after paying for what seemed like a good deal on a driveway makeover but when the so-called contractor was done the work was shoddy and the driveway looked worse than it did before now she can't get a hold of the contractor and has had to file a police report the Better Business Bureau says incidents like this are on the rise in our Province we'll hear from that family at the bottom of the hour as well all right you have a good weekend Matt it was delightful excellent excellent I'm going to be sounding a little octave but my voice usually goes about an octave lower when I'm tired and I stayed up late people can always tell but it was good reason hundreds of people packing uh for the uh B find the block party yeah yeah and the weather held up is good but do I look slimmer cuz I think I lost probably 20 lbs in sweat last night wow a weather pattern that was that was crazy and such a stark difference today absolutely so today as Matt's alluding to we're going to head a high uh to a high of 23 Dees in Winnipeg which going to feel probably positively cold after what we've been having but high of 23 it's going to have lots of sunshine though for our day our Monday and a mix of sun and Cloud moving in this afternoon so that's our forecast for Winnipeg just because it's the first time I'm doing weather here I'll just touch uh the other centers so dolphin and Brandon area today mix the Sun and Cloud High 23 for you as well in Thompson mainly cloudy and uh a high of 19 degrees and I should say specifically Brandon is just so you know exactly what dolphin's going to be 23 Uh current temperatures around the province beyond our 17 here in Winnipeg with that nice clear sky to watch the sun come up if you like to take pictures good morning for that Brandon is uh 10 degrees you're also clear this morning in Dolphin it is clear and 10° as well and up in Thompson it is cloudy and it is 13° and big shout out to some of the people that drove in for the Burt block party last night from Thompson I was dancing around with some of them late into the night last night people making the drive and staying in hotels here uh by the way warm spot in the province is uh right now Churchill which is 19° and your cold spot is Roblin it's 7° and just looking for any different Sky conditions uh we did have Early Morning Rain reported but now it looks like everything's mostly either cloudy or clear so the rain seems to have stopped uh let's get into to the commuter reminding you where you can update the commute Dylan good morning good morning Marcy yeah it's a lovely morning if you're driving there although it feels darker than usual I'm not usually on the show at this hour so I'm surprising kind of coming to terms with that not sure how I feel yet uh as for out there on the commute right now nothing to really report haven't heard anything so it should be smooth sailing if you see something slowing you down out there give us a call at 20478 3093 [Music] well as I alluded to at the top of the hour they are cycling across Canada with a goal in mind they want to show Canadians that you can kick Parkinson's disease in the butt by being active Jim Redmond and Mike logren both have the debilitating disease they're part of the spinning wheels relay it's a relay made up of three teams they're riding 10,000 kilometers uh to raise awareness about Parkinson so their team stopped in Brandon over the weekend and they spoke with cbc's Chelsea Camp about the freedom that the ride brings uh hi I'm Jim Redmond I uh I live in Ottawa Ontario I have Parkinson's disease I'm a cyclist in the spinning wheels relay and also a co-chair of the event what is the event oh so the spinning wheels relay is a coast to coast to coast cycling Adventure I I'm on the western crew which uh started in Victoria on July 27th and we're going to finish in Ottawa on September 28th about 5,500 km in total when we started on July 27th in Victoria another group in the East started in Newland and they're cycling towards Ottawa as well and then on September the 1st a group is going to start in Dawson City and they're going to cycle to tuak TU on September the 17th all three groups are going to get together in a town in Ontario called Collingwood and we're going to cycle as one team to Ottawa you know what um so in 2022 uh I got it into my head that people with Parkinson's should cycle across the country just to raise awareness uh my friend Mike logran came with me he has Parkinson's as well so does a guy named Steve eisan he has Parkinson so uh three people with the Parkinson's and Mike's wife we went from Victoria to St John's was such an amazing experience we met so many people and uh and we felt so good people kept on coming up to us and saying you know what you guys really have to do this again instead of ending in St John's we'll end in Ottawa we actually have Parliament Hill booked on September 28th and we are going to have a celebration of Parkinson's when we finally get there what do you hope people kind learn when they meet you see you guys cycling down highway one I think they'll learn that people can do more than what you think that you can they're so surprised when we tell them the Parkinson's facts about the world so Parkinson's is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world and Canada leads the world in per capita diagnosis so there's just more Parkinson's in Canada than anywhere else uh Parkinson's is set to double between 2020 and 2040 worldwide we need to try to figure out how to live as best we can with the disease so uh we are we're saying that cycling helps and we believe in that message so much that we're actually cycling across the country and we're inviting people to come out whether it's for one block one hour one day or one Province just come on out and cycle with us people have across the country so far and we keep on hearing the word Freedom so when we get on our bikes it's like it we're free and uh because lots of times with Parkinson you slow down and you get uh you know what you get tight your muscles cramp but when you get on a like there's just something about it that's it's like magic It's Magic it's medicine it's whatever but it really does work after about uh 10 minutes I don't feel like I have Parkinson's anymore it's it's that phenomenal how many how many kilometers do you usually go on a DAT so we average about 100 km a day sometimes it's 110 sometimes it's 115 sometimes we do 96 but when we have needed to we've done a couple hundred in in a day that's difficult I meany this is this is hard right the reality is this is hard like today uh the wind was blowing uh you know it kept the heat away uh and the rain away but the wind was blowing we've we've cycled in 37 Dee temperature in British Colombia we've cycled through the smoke we cycled in a little bit of rain uh and uh you know but every time we Face a challenge it's just like what we face with Parkinson's you know what it's just keep on going have a positive attitude I'm Mike logger and I'm part of the spinning wheels relay and uh riding mostly in support this time but uh enjoying it you're you're from Toronto you started in Victoria right yes we started in Victoria on the 27th we left Toronto on the 15th of July so it's the longest I've been away from my wife what what keeps you motivated you got to really believe in what you're doing and um the chances we've had to speak to people the support group people they're they're finding inspiration which I feel a little silly being someone like labeled as an inspirer or something but they're finding the inspiration to that and and I don't mind driving that because it's how you can live best with this silly disease it's a problem it keeps going there's no cure but we got to do what we can to live best with it cuz your life's not over that's for sure do you find like does the cycling kind of help aate symptoms yes yes it does indeed um the writing as I say the freedom I'm I'm very much when I get tired in that I do a shuffle step very slow very that's all I slow down I start to hunker over but when I'm riding I can go fast I can go and really enjoy myself and uh travel around the city the country whatever it's a great way to do it I love that I love that he's saying he's not comfortable with being an inspiration and yet that was spinning wheels relay cyclist Mike logren speaking to cbc's Chelsea Camp before that we heard from Jim Redmond who's also on this ride and Chelsea met up with them as they stopped in Brandon now for more on their story and their ride and their efforts to raise awareness about Parkinson's you can go to our website story at cbc.ca Manitoba you have lots of questions about your own life and this really complex world around you I'm sroa quo I'm the host of the new live Callin show just asking I take your questions about what's in the news or your finances Health even your relationships and then throw them to an expert just asking let's figure it out together just asking with sroa quilo live Saturday afternoon at 5 Eastern to Pacific and on CBC listen it is 6:21 a.m. on 893 FM 990 a.m. on the app or YouTube and don't throw anything at your radio but today's the first day back in school that's true true I'm just reporting the facts that is for students over at Red River College poly Tech at least the do is going to be open at the institution uh so we're going to hear more about the fall term we'll talk to the college's VP of academics after 7:00 this morning to uh hear more about what students can expect this year what the enrollment numbers are looking like and what new courses have been popular over at Red River right now though the covid-19 pandemic certainly revealed how healthy security across the globe is interconnected and now as new strains of empo spread in Africa and Beyond the world is watching given Canada's supply of enox vaccines many believe that our country has a moral responsibility to take action as well experts say that there's a need to strengthen local Health Care Systems where empo is now on the rise Rosemary McCarney is here to talk about it she's Canada's former ambassador to the office of the United Nations in Geneva she is James C's scholar in international relations as well at the University of Toronto's Trinity College hello to you good morning so looking at the covid-19 pandemic in your view what are the key lessons that we might apply to the empo situation now well certainly the need to act early so when the World Health Organization declares a public health emergency of international concern as it did for for covid and it has done a gain for empo we need to move um it's not a wait and see how this might pan out kind of moment and Co mov faster than than the decision makers and so we saw that virus spread globally within three months viruses don't don't respect political borders whatsoever and so acting fast is really the second one we don't have perfect information and data and and science on these viruses but the precautionary principle in global Health would say act quickly and and and understand and be transparent that information is imperfect but waiting too long um is also dangerous and then acting means working both at home and acting internationally so working at home is the things we did during Co of tracing and protecting and providing people with good information on transmission but acting internationally we learned very clearly that to keep a regional epidemic from becoming a pandemic it's we got to fight it at its heart where the cases are occurring and not kind of barricading ourselves behind a kind of an ephemeral border and and hoping it won't come here so right now the international effort is focused on stopping transmiss in the effective countries in Africa and particularly a focus on the Democratic Republic of the Congo where the outbreak is is really uh is really very tragic of course one of the criticisms of Western countries uh who had vaccines during covid was that they they kept them for their own populations waiting to see what would happen and didn't share them early on enough uh in hindsight Canada has a Supply right now of as I mentioned andox vaccines as you see it what's the responsibility that comes with that supply and how do you think Canada should manage it well you're right we have a stockpile as through other countries and and you know in an emergency outbreak that is going to affect more people Crossing Borders vaccines should be treated very much as a global common good so you know we we know we have 24 time zones we think of this as a big planet but with viruses we have one Health Zone especially where there's over 100,000 international flights every single day and so vaccines are just simply not available in in the areas most affected right now um the demand is for about 10 million Doses and so while every country every government has first duty to protect our own citizens um we you know Canada can play an important role in helping to stop the impo outbreak by donating some of our vaccine stockpile today to the hard hit countries without resources you know we we can fight impo at its heart and we can also prepare and protect Canadians we can do both at the same time and and National self-interest is got to be acknowledged it won't go away but we can also Embrace humanitarian and Equity principles too we can share money vaccines data Kno how you know enlightened self-interest is also a very powerful tool to stop spread everywhere uh I don't want to take us on too much of a tangent but I wonder whether or not in because we've just been through this pandemic which was historic and now we're talking about you trying to prevent future spread of other diseases in the same ways and other strains as well um I I do wonder whether or not you think that we may be heading into a a world where um distribution of vaccines should be seen through a global lens and not through a country lens like that shift of course I can't imagine uh countries agree to doing that but is that's really what you're talking about at its heart is that well the best way for us to protect ourselves and protect Canadians is through prevention and you know we' kind we we we can still do preparedness this is a slower moving virus than um than covid was and we need to take advantage of that but you know prevention is probably the best investment we can we can make and so stopping transmission at its heart where the outbreaks are is probably our best tool for protecting Canadians so rather than think about vaccines and and whether we can share some whether we have extras Etc it's it's all of the above and and vaccines are only one tool in the toolbox but they're a critical one we didn't have them at the beginning of covid and we're fortunate to have a couple of vaccines and more coming on stream but there's many things that we can do that allows us to both uh protect Canadians and and move very assertively and generously internationally to to strike empo at its heart so we don't have this runaway Global pandemic which cost the worldly world millions of lives and trillions of dollars it time to act is right now Beyond uh vaccine distribution and what other ways do you think the global Health policies should still be evolving uh Beyond where they were at the start of covid well you know I think a couple of things I mean we need to put money into um surveillance and monitoring we need to put money right now into testing we we have no real idea about the uh volume of of impo most our people are not being tested um we need to address things like stigma and discrimination of those who are afflicted by this there's things that we can do but fundamentally we need Global Leadership from presidents and prime ministers that break this cycle of you know neglect neglect let's hope it doesn't come here and then panic panic panic you know where we watched you know Panic buying up of stockpiles and and um supply chain shutting down Etc we need that strong coordination of a standing group of presidents and prime ministers who can keep a watch on global Health threats and mobilize the funds so that each time we're not kind of in a pass the Hat kind of syndrome of you know could you provide some vaccines could you provide some money and and this passing the hat reactive place when we have an emergency is is just um counterproductive and and the other thing we need do to be to be really Frank is that these are coming at us every 3 to five years we don't have that luxury of a of a world of remote places Etc we we know that with international travel with the proximity to Animal Human transmission that these are going to keep coming at us and they not only impact Health but they impact all of society trust and government our economies Etc so we need to get a handle on thinking about health as one Health one planet and and we're kind of all in this together and and acknowledge that that you know we can Embrace humanitarianism and equity and we can Embrace self- protection thank you for your time this morning thank you very much that's Rosemary McCarney she's Canada's former ambassador to the office of the United Nations in Geneva she's a James CP scholar as well in international relations at the University of Toronto's Trinity College I'm Marcy marusa you're on CBC 8 93 FM 990m on the Apper YouTube Welcome to your Monday morning everyone mainly clear out there in Winnipeg the full forecast

morning a thunderstorm caused serious damage to the hockey rink in the town of fox Warren near the Saskatchewan border Danny Johnston says the storm ripped off one side of the roof and most of the damage is on the east side of the building he says seeing the arena ripped up was gutwrench it's the only damn building left in town here that was still somewhere to gather and play hockey and figure skate and stuff it's uh that was one of the shittiest things I've ever come across I uh we grew up here you know born and raised here and uh the only thing to do in the winter time was go to the rink that's that's all we did that's uh that's our Lifeline here Johnston says the storm started early in the morning yesterday the wind snapped trees and branches and the province says the highway at Fox Warren access road was closed off due to debris a Manitoba rail worker is disappointed after a ruling forced him and thousands like him back on the job Canadian Pacific Kanas city trains began moving again in Manitoba last night ahead of a federal labor board deadline days earlier workers walked off the job to demand better working conditions grinding shipments across the country to a halt Matthew yanchuk is a member of the Teamsters Union in Winnipeg he says the ruling tramples on his right to strike we're being sent back back to work without a chance of of our legislators getting involved to have a debate about Back To Work legislation we we have a difficult working environment with difficult scheduling and that that leads to a lot of conflict we're obviously trying to have the best quality of life we can meanwhile the union says it will fight this decision in court unions are calling on the Workers Compensation Board to ease its policies around worker burnout only three out of 21 claims have been accepted by the board since it started covering psychological injuries caused by burnout the Manitoba nurses Union calls the numbers shameful Darlene Jackson is Union president I think we need to talk about the real con consequences of B of burnout we have nurses who are working with uh workloads that far exceed anything we've ever seen before there's a cost to a publicly funded Health Care System unfortunately it doesn't seem as if this government is willing to pay that cost Manitoba Federation of Labor says barriers for accessing compensation are just too high it's calling on the board to expand what they'll accept as medical document documentation for example in international news Hezbollah is warning further strikes on Israel are possible following a weekend of stepped up rocket exchanges Sasha petrik has the latest from Jerusalem in a televised speech heah leader Hassan nzala said if the attack did not achieve sufficient results Hezbollah reserve the right to strike again the group fired more than 300 rockets and drones at Israel though Israeli defense officials say thousands more would have been launched if it had not destroyed them in a preemptive strike based on advanced intelligence some from Washington US National Security adviser Jake Sullivan there was continuous communication and we have been tracking the threat of hisbah attacks against Israel for some time now but the fear of escalation in Israel's North won't subside until there's a ceasefire in the South and at the moment that prospecting Gaza seems just as shaky Sasha petk CBC News Jerusalem and finally a Winnipeg family is warning others that if a contractor shows up to your door with a good deal it might be just too good to be true Patricia Gunter says her mother paid $33,000 for a driveway makeover a half day's work was done and it was left in a concrete mess with the cracks hardly filled you can see photos at cbc.ca Manitoba now Gunter says they can't get a hold of anyone from the company and I've had to file a police report I love my mom but these people that are out there it seems like they're taking advantage of the seniors and young people because they're coming to people's houses with good quotes like I even saw the price of 3,000 I thought oh wow the Better Business Bureau says incidents like these are on the rise in our problem and says contractors will purposely do poor jobs or no work at all sometimes under the guise of offering a must have deal Winnipeg Police say they're investigating reports of similar incidents and that's your CBC news from Winnipeg that's the worst yeah it's too bad it is it's too bad because when you're the consumer of something like that you it's always a job that you either need done and it's a drag because you have to find the money to do it or maybe you've been saving and waiting to do something an improvement on your property and it can be really hard to find a contractor yeah there's a long backlog for that kind of work all right Matt thank you back soon 6:35 a.m. Monday morning all right let's get into a regional forecast here in Winnipeg sunny today it's going to be a high of 23 a little cooler than we've had to say the least yesterday was just sticky uh today not as much winds will become Northwest 20 to about 40 this morning for the rest of the week tonight partly cloudy low 11 tomorrow some cloud cover in 20 Wednesday Sunny 24 and then some showers moving in Wednesday night right now Winnipeg it's 17° and mainly clear in Brandon it's mainly clear and it's 10° today for you same as Winnipeg a high of 23 with humidex 26 tonight partly cloudy low n should mention Brandon you'll be a little less windy than here in the city of Winnipeg uh for you tomorrow mix of sun and Cloud High 20 and then once again you're also expecting some showers moving in for Wednesday so there's a system coming in Brandon currently it's 10 as mentioned and up in Thompson finally cloudy and 13 degrees right now winds are Northwest at 50 and for you today you will have those Gusty wind staying with you so mainly cloudy up in Thompson winds Northwest 3250 for most of the day you're high 19° that cool Trend continuing in the north part of the province as well tonight few clouds tomorrow a little sunny and a high of 20 so tomorrow we're actually pretty similar across the province and then on Wednesday though for you uh you don't have showers until Wednesday night Thompson so you'll be similar to Winnipeg you'll be sunny in the day but showers at night on Wednesday and that's what at least the start of the week's looking like as mentioned right now you're 13° let's get into the commute details at 6:36 now with Dylan Longhurst yeah there's not much to say so far although it it's still very very early in the morning for that commute so if you're seeing something out there that's slowing you down however you're getting around biking walking busing driving you know it's not a bad day to be an active commuter a little bit on the cooler end of what we've been seeing recently uh but yeah however you're getting around let us know what's happening out there on the roads call 204 788 3093 particularly if you're up around the gimy area I heard unsubstantiated Buzz last night at the bird block party but people driving in I was talking to someone that drove in from Thompson but they said that they were noticing some detours and things up around gimle when they were in that stretch of their Drive um because uh of the storm over the weekend so there might be some wash outs and things out there that are localized yeah feel free to share your experiences there I'll be standing up by on the commuter line all right thanks Dylan so 7883 093 if uh is that number once again it's time to get caught up on business news now Phil deont joins us good morning Phil hi Marcy so Matt was just mentioning a little bit of this of course in the news it's a big story but there have been developments in Canada's rail stoppage then yeah you know it's more of an update than anything but Railways say it's going to take more than a week before the trains can get running normally uh confusion stemmed over the weekend at least in my mind from the teamsters union represents the engineers and conductors at CN and cpkc on Friday late Friday it issued a 72-hour strike notice against CN that's after the Canada Labor Relations Board issued that binding arbitration order ending the one day stoppage of Canada's two main Railways the puzzlement surrounded the fact that the companies had locked out the workers who technically weren't on strike so in effect great we'll let the you know the uh we we'll stop the lockout but hey we might go on strike and over the weekend the union said not it's members would go back to work on Monday which apparently they have CN though says it'll take an entire week before its Vehicles can get back on track both Railways eased back on the number of trains and shipments days before Thursday's lockout you don't just you know shut it down in one motion CP KC was even more pessimistic saying a full return to work could take quote several weeks uh Moody's estimates rail stoppage costs the Canadian economy about $340 million a day that's led to calls for Canada's Railways to be named an essential service and forced into binding arbitration problem is neither management nor the union wants that uh if you face binding arbitration why do you need a union and have to pay union fees you know they're not going to be able to negotiate for you for management their concern is the arbitrator good people you know but often they're coming out of Academia or law some Law Firm they have a limited knowledge of the sector so that could well end up in a situation where workers get a better settlement than the company wants because if you come in and say look my members haven't had a decent wage gain in you know five years I okay as opposed to the company coming in saying our investors haven't gotten the rate of return commencer with the S&P 500 little less little less of a compelling reason for an arbitrator to give you yourself settlement to another story why are high prices for land a problem for Farmers right now yeah it's a problem that is no obvious at least to me until I think about it in terms of home prices and cities Farm valuations have exploded in Canada in the past few years this is scatch one just cuz I have this number price per acre for f land up 16% same in Manitoba if you look at the central PLS Pena Valley the price for an acre there up almost 30% in two years wow is that right yeah I know okay yeah I I managed to track that one and then per B up properly um combination of different pressures in some cases the value of seed at crop is higher you know the commodity issue in others development pressures from expanding towns and cities this is a big deal in Ontario you know so they're buying up that land in 2001 68 million Acres were farmed in Canada about 250,000 families now nine uh about 9% fewer uh less Farmland available 25% fewer families so you only gain the higher price if you sell the land it's like a home in a city old older homeowners benefit from the higher prices but younger Farmers let's say who got another 25 30 years on the land they might be looking to expand their acreage because more production reduces your fixed cost make your operation more competitive but experts say larger farming companies uh the ones with financial resources are buying up what little Farmland is available the younger people getting squeezed a bit on that end much like younger home buyers can't afford new homes younger Farmers can't afford new acreage and finally uh why is the sh shined finally off of Steve McQueen's Ford Mustang yeah I look for a way to put that in the question uh it's a car McQueen made famous in the iconic car chase scene for the 1968 movie Bullet really cool scene 2020 it sold for $3.7 million but the value of roadsters from the 1950s and 60s is dropping these days whether it's McQueen's car or the Austin Martin of James Bond Fame and you can blame younger car collectors uh Monteray car week was held earlier this month it's the Main Auction where rich hipsters Buy cars that they basically put in their garages and never use less than 75% of the cars up for sale actually sold in car week lackluster sales meant the gross amount from the auction down 20% from two years earlier it's a sign of the changing car collector younger ones with more money but little connection to the cars that were cooler for an earlier generation things like the Chevy from the movie American Graffiti for younger collectors they all look the same and that shiting and interest has been in on there for a while if you look at the price index for classic cars from the 80s after the 80s it's up 60% compared to 2018 if you look at the roadsters built in the ' 50s and 60s their prices down 3% interesting also gas guzzling right uh and it's just an expensive Pastime so the economy is so poor I suspect that's part of it too yeah no you're probably right yeah but I hear you down 3% compared to the the 80s still up 60% it just speaks to the generational shifts right yeah yeah so what car was driven uh in most of the iconic 80s movies we'll have to look up that value yeah I know it's probably something that you're looking Jesus really somebody likes that car I don't know the F when was The Rockford Files was that the 70s the fire I guess so but that's one of those that was like um not a not a Firebird but one of those kind of cars yeah for sure all right what's going on in the markets this morning uh generally positive in Europe UK France they're up Germany down marginally good day in China with the Hong Kong market up 1% oil up $1.98 because of Middle Eastern unrest $76 81 a barrel Gold's up $13 possible rate cut there in the US $2,559 US an ounce in the Canadian dollar it's trading above 74 cents at 7441 100s of a cent us all right Phil deont thank you thanks Marcy that is Phil deont from our business [Music] desk well last week in the show we were hearing on national news about a decision out of Ontario uh Ontario's Health Minister announcing plans to close half of the supervised consumption sites in that Province while increasing spending on homelessness and addiction treatment centers by nearly $400 million and so uh one of the things that Ontario's Health Minister announced uh when he was closing sites was talking about closing sites near schools and daycares you might know that here in Manitoba our Premier W canoe uh the premier here W canoe uh has said that uh as we wait for a new consumption site to be built in uh Winnipeg uh the site is not yet chosen uh we know it's going to be somewhere north of Main Street is what we've been told so far and we do know that he has said at least on record that they are considering where they're going to put it when it comes to uh you know it having proximity to places like schools and daycares but this has all opened up a conversation not just in Ontario and here in Manitoba but across the country and so cbc's CrossCountry checkup ask callers this weekend how do you feel about supervised consumption sites in your community and should there be restrictions on where they're located here's what some callers shared with guest host John northcot I'm extremely disappointed that Ontario is going in this direction I believe that we need a full range of services available for people which absolutely includes a robust harm reduction component the route to recovery is often through harm reduction I know that was the case for a family member of mine you know harm reduction keeps people alive until they're able to access other services as soon as we start pushing people out the risk goes way up for death I've been to probably 20 different Memorial services for young people over the past well since the crisis was announced in 2016 I don't want to go to any more of those Services I want people to live another day to reach the potential of their lives my girlfriend has an addiction problem and she uses a place in ferton and there's been times I've had to carry her out of there you know what I've tried a lot of different things with her to get her clean and you know I've had her clean for a couple months at a time but I think more rehab centers and you know not 3 months 6 months 10 months you know 2 3 years years it's not something you can get over overnight this is a a lifelong struggle I myself had an addiction problem I've been clean for 30 years it's a lifelong struggle there's not a day goes by I don't you know want it but I just choose not to my four-year-old grandson will be starting kindergarten in September we worked very hard to find a school that was in a neighborhood where we would not be thinking about him being addiction my heart goes out to those people and I want to see things better and I don't believe Doug Ford knows what the heck he's talking about just shutting down sites called turkey my point is I'm a grandmother I want my grandson to be safe and I think there's a lot of parents who are thinking the exact same thing we get the big issues but we don't want it in our child's face I'm almost a year sober the one thing I wanted to raise is that one of the things they came up with in the year 2020 were stats around deaths related to drugs number one tobacco number two alcohol and number three opioids what I find disheartening in addition to of course closing supervised injection sites is that the government is spending at a minimum 225 million doar to bring availability and accessibility to alcohol to even more places and there are no restrictions unlike Cannabis stores and now proposed supervised injection sites for locations to schools and other things you know I had to leave the province to seek treatment because the wait times here in Toronto are approximately a years and instead you know $225 million is being pumped into the beer store and soon to be others to expand access to the second most deadly drugs and I'm really concerned that no opinions of Public Health experts or researchers is there to persuade the government that their course of action will kill people uh to build on that last point if you're interested in doing some reading we've had Gabor mate on our show before and he's written some really interesting books before uh talking about uh what he calls you know acceptable addictions and substances versus others that are vilified and uh it speaks to sort of how governments end up responding to different things that is his argument in his books and you can read some of his research but those were some of the callers over the weekend from cross country checkup uh responding to the question yesterday that was asked on CBC nationally how do you feel about supervised consumption sites in your community if you want to download the whole conversation you can find it on their checkup podcast or on the CBC listen app and of course we'd love to know what your thoughts are in Manitoba as we creep ever closer to our first supervised injection site uh consumption site rather here in Winnipeg that's going to be uh that's in the works right now going to do be developed you can call our local listener line if you'd like it's 788 3205 the CBC News app delivers the answers you want to know and need to know what an extraordinary scene the breaking

quickly the CBC News app download for free time right now is uh 11 minutes to 7:00 Let's uh look at our forecast briefly here 17 and Cal in Winnipeg it's mainly clear out there and our high today is going to be 23 so a bit of a reprieve from that sticky sticky really uh crazy heat that we've been having and it is uh right now going to be pardon me right now calm and clear as mentioned but it's going to be sunny in Winnipeg uh it will be a little bit windy winds will be North uh West this afternoon gusting 20 to 40 well up next on this show professional women's sport leagues and female athletes are gaining visibility even so Sports participation on the part of girls in Canada is on the decline and that's according to data examined by our next guest a recent study featured in the conversation a research and based news platform highlights that sports are vital for a girl's success later in life and such participation can be Strate a strategic tool for Equity between women and men but there are systemic barriers that keep many girls out of sport Michaela dodig is with us co-author of the paper she's a master student in the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto metropolitan University good morning to you oh we're having a challenge getting our guest here so we'll just uh give it a moment here and see if we can get Michaela on the line with us this morning I'll mention a couple things in the meantime that we have coming up on the program in the second hour of the show speaking of sport there was something something super fun going on over the weekend and CBC was there so coming up at 7:40 this morning we're going to hear about the alumni running it back tournament that happened over the weekend it reignited a high school basketball rivals in a game of who's best so uh how did the players hold Court we'll find out because the cbc's Jim agapito was there and now here with us is Michaela doic good morning to you good morning so what led you to start this research yeah so I played sport throughout my whole life and I wanted to learn a little bit more about what are the long-term the long-term impact of women's sports participation in sports and what really caught my interest was this big sticky stat that Ernest young came out with in 2014 that 94% of seite executive level women were former athletes so I wanted to dig in I knew something special about participa in sports that I want to look into a little bit more about what those long-term benefits are um in the short term though stats on girls participation in organized sport in Canada look Grim can you just reiterate to us some of those stats yes so Sports participation among girls in Canada are declining so we know that 62% of girls are not participating in sports of any kind and this number has been declining for the past decade when girls reach adolescence we see that one in three girls are dropping out of sports and this is compared to one in 10 boys and so this is concerning girls are not participating in sports as much and this number is declining over time but also as they get older um what kind of impact has the growth of professional women's league had on the country would you say to to look at this from a you know through a lens of what is helping yeah so I think bringing professional women's sports to Canada is great and I think it's only going to help grow the game and grow women's sports participation because when we bring um professional sports and seen women here on in Canada we increase our accessibility to watch them so we are able to watch sports on or women's sports on TV we can watch them in person in stadium and get tickets to go to the game and um we're able to just really highlight the Elite Talent that women athletes have and then we can kind of see like girls can see that there is an opportunity for them to play professional sports if that's what they want and take their game to the next level because there is an opportunity to pursue a career in sports I neglected to follow up when you were talking about sort of the uh the high uh women in sort of uh professional jobs uh 94% of women as as your study says um hold SE Suite executive level positions that were former athletes you were mentioning earlier can you tell me a little bit more about that and how participating in sport can can affect a girl's long-term success or woman's long-term success in development yeah so a lot of that from that study came from like and we even see deoy continue some of this research too is that girls who are going on and leading in the corporate world um are honing their skills that they learned or the skills that they've learned like their leadership skills resilience discipline work ethic they're attributing the their Career Success to those skills that they've learned through Sports so Sports is a great way to Foster and to really build on these this skill set that helps that helps you later on in life both personally and also in your career we had uh on this topic actually a couple weeks ago on the show we had two former Olympic athletes from Manitoba on the program both women uh they now were in leadership roles in their Sports uh in Manitoba and they were talking about you know how how in their view that is that's needed to turn the tide on this um what are the reasons that you found about why girls do drop out a sport yeah so there are there's it's been today that there are some several barriers to girls participating in sports and some of this is accessibility and not knowing or not having the opportunity to play or not knowing where or when and and then the other big thing is the cost of participating so the costs are becoming really high to participating Sports especially at the high performance level so it's important that we ensure that opportunities for girls to play sports are accessible and also just available and then girls in in particular now we see that drop out right happening when they get into their teenage years and it's important that we encourage girls to be confident and empowered through Sport and because they do have a perceived lack of skill or lack of confidence when they get to that age there negative body image so it's important that we do really Empower women to feel well to feel empowered in their bodies to continue play on and continue to have positive and inclusive social connections with their peers and through their role models and coaches what did sport do for you we've got this picture up on our YouTube of uh of you in your jersey for uh from playing University basketball so I'm curious for yourself how did it speak to you and and strengthen your resolve and Leadership skills yeah so I mean I was a basketball player and played at University and I mean I made some of my best friends through Sport and really had to and really found my voice on the court as a leader and being able to effectively communicate to my teammates and my coaches and the staff um and really just develop that sense of teamwork and resilience to come back from different challenges and setbacks so definitely my experiences as Sports have helped me achieve my goals both on the court but also in my schooling but ALS and into my career aspirations so they've really it's really helped set me up to achieve my goals outside of sport as well so given that just in our last minute here what strategies do you think are most important uh moving forward to to keep girls engaged in sport throughout their lives yeah so it comes back to that creating that inclusive sucessful experience and encourage parents to enroll their daughters into sports so that they can realize these benefits and really encourage them and support them while they while they go go through this sport Journey um and just encourage coaches to create these positive experiences good quality coaches who are trained or they're they're positive role models and even more we have people who are involved in sports that look like us whether it's girls participating if they have people and role models that look like them they can see a future for themselves so creating these opportunities and inclusive girl Centric sport experiences and so that these girls can realize the success both in their sports but also develop these skills that they're going to use later on in their personal and professional lives thank you very much for your time this morning Michaela I appreciate it okay thank you so much that is Michaela dodic she's a master student in the Ted Rogers

fact that this time next week we're talking schools open you might need to be thinking about schools open zones because it's going to be September 2nd next Monday it's the big ticket change is what I call it right yep yeah yeah and it Catch catches me off guard every year so this is a good point to put it make it a little note in your brain right now that's coming up so enjoy being able to go summer speeds at those school zones right now but that's about to change so keep it in mind if you see anything out there on your commute that's slowing you down today though give us a call at 204 788 3093 [Music] wow if you haven't yet subscribed to our YouTube channel uh you might want to do so just for the sky pictures I'm just going to be honest here during the morning show watching the sun come up over the uh downtown there it is again if you're on YouTube you can see it over the uh buildings in downtown Winnipeg it's just beautiful just gorgeous uh and we've got that kind of clear morning as as I mentioned today which is really nice for first day back as I mentioned don't be alarmed school does start today for some students and Educators in Manitoba at least it's day one officially over at Red River College Polytech uh they're welcoming uh students and instructors back to class at the start of the fall term with that in mind what does the college have in store as the new year begins well Christine Watson's College's vice president of academics and in representing with your shirt today I like it absolutely and happy to talk to an RC Polytech grad yes I did I went to U ofm and I went to Red River and I had a great experience in school at Red River um how does it feel to welcome students uh and staff back and and you know start of a new school year it's so exciting last year or last uh week we had uh something we call Red River ready and so we welcome students back to do tours and meet their instructors and and just really welcome them back into the rrc Polytech family and that that sense of excitement we this is kind of like our new year so the sense of excitement is is real as is the sense of nervousness and um and we often talk to students about what they need to do to succeed as they're entering into postsecondary education are there most common questions that you get because as you said it's a if if it's post-secondary for the first time for you it can be really nerve-wracking yes especially if you don't have a history of postsecondary in your family um I I would say that lots of the questions are around where to go to find things um and really reminding students about their mental health making sure they building networks early uh we know for mental health purposes that building Community fast in education leads to higher retention rates they're really excited about clubs and about uh what the Student Association can can offer and for some students it's about safe places to go so our um uh Spectrum which is for 2s lgbtqia students um and an allies really thinking about where students can congregate where they can meet other people and where they can get academic support and Success Through tutoring and counseling um and just enjoying that kind of Campus feel you forget about those Jitters sometimes you know the older I get like I remember being on Notre Dame at Red River and it was like where's the South gym what I still don't think I could get myself there uh what does your enrollment look like this year uh what are your numbers looking like so our enrollment overall is really healthy it's up uh overall um especially interestingly enough in our regional campuses so of course Red River College polych not only has campuses in Winnipeg we have campuses in steinach and Winkler Portage uh selker Interlake pegas Fisher River and so our regional campus numbers are really healthy this year which means that students are trying to access post-secondary education in their own communities um we also have really strong uh enrollment in healthc care programming which is not a surprise that's a really in demand sector and so our nursing programs uh vet tech um and health information management are really strong um have there been any any surprises with enrollment like are do you have higher enrollment than you've had in the past or you are you returning to about level after covid um it's about on track with where we've seen the trend go we did have h a surge uh immediately after covid and that was wonderful to see people coming back to education um but on track I think Red River College Polytech is is in a growth opportunity I think that people recognize uh the value of a poly Technic education and obviously Manitoba needs uh people who are um bringing the skills and talent that Manitoba businesses need to grow and be successful um what does your number of international students look like at Red River so our International students are on par with where they were last year we haven't seen a dip uh we haven't seen um we're going to fill all of our seats for international students and in fact we're seeing really strong interest in RSC Polytech uh we have over 60 countries represented um as part of our international student population what is your overall enrollment number not just for international students but what is the number of students that you have um we it it varies across um across our campuses and I would say that um overall we've got a really healthy number both domestically and internationally but overall your enrollment number Christine how many students does your River have um we look at overall in terms of enrollments probably around uh 22,000 okay um what are some of the new courses you've got on top we're really excited to be offering uh our new price Institute of advanced manufacturing and mechatronics um that's a new uh Institute we've got a new post-graduate diploma in mechatronics and one in advanced manufacturing and we're also offering some micro credentials uh in in advanced manufacturing for people who are working in the sectors that are looking at um implementing robotics automation um additive you know manufacturing man aoba businesses are desperately looking for support in um applied research in adopting new technologies and that's coming at us really fast including artificial intelligence so they're looking to RC poly Tech to really support the transformation of their businesses through uh technology adoption and we support that not only in our curriculum and preparing students to be for future employees but also through our applied research I understand understand some of your um some of your longstanding uh programs that would match you know match needs of manit Home employers are also um maybe even full this year like around aircraft maintenance engineering and such there um do a lot of courses have weight lists um I would say that uh many of our courses are in high demand we try to keep our weight list low because we want to make sure that people can access programs so if we do see uh big weight list we really try to um think about how we can add sections to make sure that students have access and that the employer have um the future Workforce that they need to to be successful um are there any courses that are seeing lower enrollment numbers where you're can or courses that you've cut because the interest wasn't there uh we haven't cut any courses uh recently no um I think that we really look at how we can um often renew and Revitalize our programs for employers we have um program advisory councils that we meet with regularly to tell us what industry needs and so um we really look at making sure that our programs are relevant and current I I'm I'm uh totally self-involved here but I want to ask about journalism because journalism everywhere programs are struggling with numbers that's across the country we've done interviews with other universities some of them are even cutting their programs uh obviously creative communication speaks to that regard you can major in journalism um but the numbers sometimes have been low as well so I'm not sure how that program is looking it's looking fantastic oh good please we need young journalists I told you I'm self- involved here but I'm just because really journalism is about storytelling and so we're really looking at we have a really exciting new um announcement we're going to be making in the fall that brings Creative Communications digital media design Information Technology data science really bringing that storytelling Focus to film and media digital media graphic design and really looking at interdisciplinary opportunities Creative Communications is just one entry into a multitude of possible careers um whenever somebody says we have an announcement coming I know enough that you're not going to give it to me now but I'm going to try anything I can't but I'm I can tell you it's going to be extremely exciting uh obviously you're eager to get to the college this morning greet students on the first day um I hear that there's a it's kind of a new tradition now is that right it is yes we have all of our senior leaders uh greeting students at the bus loops and in the parking lots we wear our red shirts as you've seen uh to let them know that we're here to welcome them that they're part of the the RC Polytech family and we're so grateful that they chose uh us for their education and we're just so excited to get them on their way thank you very much for coming

on you oh oh Roman Clark love that tune it is called someday kind of works for all the students and young adults trying to shape their future someday you look back uh I love that also Roman Clark a great local talent uh was here at CBC has given his time before to play some of our past uh uh fundraisers around the holidays uh when we all come together and raise money for uh for Harvest Manitoba for example so nice to hear some music uh from him this morning it is 25 a.m. on 893 FM 990 a.m. on the Apper YouTube 17 and Comm in Winnipeg nice clear sky out there and let's go into morning Sports Paul mcgaan is in this Monday morning morning Paul good morning Marcy so let's start with baseball a former blue jay set to make uh baseball history actually today right yeah and it's so hard in baseball to be the first player to do anything there are so many years of records and so many games in a season but Danny Jansen will later today become the first player ever to play for both teams in one game now the short version is that the Blue Jays and Red Sox had a game suspended back in June because of rain the plan was to make that game up today and of course in the meantime Jansen was traded from the Blue Jays to the Red Sox will start for the Red Sox today and so we'll show up in the box score for both teams uh that is a first and Jansen was asked what it's like to be part of baseball history and definitely cool you know definitely grateful for the uh opportunity to be in that position um one of those you know crazy things about this game and definitely an oddity I feel like it's gained a lot of steam of recent um not a crazy amount just people saying like how cool is that how cool is that you know and it's it's hasn't really hit me yet I'm sure after the initial PA announcement or the first that bat then just get back down to to baseball but you know when it's all send down it's going to be something cool to look back on so that suspended game will'll pick up today in the second inning before the two teams play a night cap as well certainly one of the stranger double headers in Blue Jay's history so weird right I wonder if he's going to mark it like by wearing like a jersey of one team and a hat of the other or you know I had the thought that they should do some kind of a giveaway where the Jersey is half blue jays half Red Sox or just yeah commemorate it in some interesting way I think somebody would have uh you know capitalized in the marketing for that right yeah yeah let's go to tennis the US Open starts today what are you watching for well I talked last week with the controversy around world number one yanic Center uh tested positive fre a band substance and was cleared of wrongdoing but was allowed to continue competing while he was being being investigated and that stands in stark contrast to Simona Hop's experience for example halop was also very highly ranked also tested positive uh but was also ultimately cleared of wrongdoing the difference is that in Hal's case she was suspended while the test result was investigated missed two whole years in the middle of her career and so this case of yanic siner is something that players continue to talk about including world number two Novak jokovic I can understand the sentiments of a lot of players ERS that are questioning whether they are treated the same hopefully the the governing bodies of our sport will be able to learn from this case and have a better approach for the future I think collectively there has to be a change and I think that's obvious now Sinner's case is an example of tennis correcting past behavior and setting a new standard that's a good thing but it's also a thing that needs to be communicated and the lack of transparency right now seems to be doing more harm than good so we'll see if ATP officials do come out with any kind of a statement in the meantime actual tennis gets underway today but there are no Canadians on the court until tomorrow finally Paul a massive purchase in the world of uh sports memorabilia which is a world that I don't really get into uh but recently yeah a Babe Ruth Jersey went up for auction it is the Jersey he wore when he called his shot in game three of the 1932 World Series I looked out at Center fi I I said I'm going to hit the next pitch ball right past the flag call well good Lord must have been with that is a great moment in sports history but that jersey sold for $24 million uh yeah I like to think that the people who buy these things maybe have the same kind of buyer remorse that I have when I walk out of a LIDS with like a new $50 baseball cap like not I hope not do I really need that you what I mean your lidat was not 24 million it's a F hat my friend but it's still a thing that I don't really need you know but uh I don't think anybody needs a $24 million baseball jersey uh I I don't know who can afford a $24 million baseball jersey no one in my world anyway all right we'll talk we'll talk to you tomorrow thanks Marcy that is H putting a lid on sports with Paul mwan filling in for Scott regar still this week uh we do actually have another Sports Story coming up though this one's fun right after the news this morning High School basketball alumni from all over Winnipeg ball their way to the top spot in the basketball court they had a chance to take those High

meanwhile fertilizer Canada says its members lost tens of millions of dollars during the work stoppage the CEO says costs could now be passed on to the consumers but warns the greatest Fallout may be

Manitoba Federation of Labor is asking the worker Workers Compensation Board to ease its policies around worker burnout only three out of 21 claims have been accepted by the board it started covering psychological injuries caused by burnout and only one was granted Federation president Kevin rebeck wants a review of the WCB policies around worker burnout well it's pretty pathetic I don't know about you but I think a reasonable person would see our health care System these days of nurses and health aids and health workers who are overworked and stressed out much less other traits but to see that only one has been accepted shows that that the system is failing rebeck says the bar the board is setting to prove psychological injuries is too high he says all injuries should be treated the same be they physical or mental in international news at least 39 people have been killed after a series of brutal attacks in Pakistan's bastan region that's the sound of police examining burnt out

of uh fall into a little bit less repair later on you go so you know you always want to be careful also wanted to mention from Jason that the sun is super low you know it's it's uh Rising a little bit later in the day and that's actually reducing visibility for uh for them as they're driving so just wanted to recommend caution to other uh uh fellow cyclists out there today so great advice from

note the burp block parties might be done uh the stage is still there and needing to be torn down which they uh they say the Smith Street is closed between Ellis and Notre Dame until till about 6:

of fun I mean a lot of my relationships were basically built off of basketball so it's nice to just reconnect with everyone again uh we have Generations from you know back in early 2000s and now they're mixing with 2020s and it's uh yeah it's just awesome to see everyone mixed up together and just get together and play you know play the game that we all love and grew up playing so yeah it was it was great we think about the basketball community and in the city bringing all the the support from friends and family into the sport of basketball it's just great to see who makes the teams like what's the level of play at how do you guys figure that out we give it all to the the team captains anyone from uh they they're given high schools they make up their own teams they submit them and uh we we've created three different divisions with uh the Legends where it's really really competitive that's where you got the the college players former Pros um and then we also have got the alltime division more of a recreation level still competitive and then this year we introduced the ladies division which uh just wanted to include them for this year's tournament what division are you playing

little like rivalry from different different years like different ages like we had a rivalry with bent Massi a couple of the girls on the team had rivalries with Dakota so playing against them with all of us mixed together it was just it was a good tournament especially with so many people that are still playing outside like After High School brings so much like Nostalgia from high school

going to the rest stop trying to find an ous now while you're there though you might come across a gift from Calgary's Kathy Rigby the gift of Art in an out house rig is are bombing ouses in Canada as she travels across the country she's sprucing up spots to evoke a little bit of joy in what is otherwise well let's face it generally a drab and stinky Place here's Kathy to explain what she's been doing I am an artist and and I started painting in watercolor recently normally I paint in oils and I um was wondering what I could do to you know make people smile and make people happy and um in a time that you know sometimes it it's a struggle and so what better place than a stinky old ous to hang a little piece of art so we started off in Calgary of course um and we were um we've I've done it in saskat one and then um and then just every time I find an out housee that's that's a little bit off the beaten path so um in Larice national park there was a an ouse that they use for CrossCountry skiing and I hung a bull rush painting I think in there and uh so it's not necessarily where it's just a yeah just wherever we stopped that there's an out housee for an example we were at five Islands

for you.com it is 12 minutes now at 8:00 on cbc's information radio I'm Marcy marusa thanks so much for joining us you're on 893 FM 990 a.m. on the app or on YouTube this morning and uh it is as mentioned mainly clear in southern Manitoba uh Brandon's sitting at 10° Thompson does have some cloud cover up north it is 13 there and in Winnipeg we've been at 17 since we got on the air this morning before 5 so uh or before 600 I should say so it's been a pretty steady temperature through this morning and a nice reprieve from that really sticky hot heat we had yesterday uh in the city of Winnipeg and actually throughout most of the weekend well next on the show a local nonprofit is giving kids involved with Manitoba's foster care system a helping hand this month Futures forward gave away nearly 60 fully packed backpacks The Backs had everything from stocked pencil cases to water bottles and free haircut vouches as well Evan Forest is with Futures forward he says while going back to school can be challenging for a lot of people for youth who are newly out of care just out of care the education system can be fraught with barriers and he's here a bit to talk about that good morning good morning thanks for having me thanks for being here um so when you when you think about someone that's just out of care a young person that's been in care and and um and they're facing barriers at back to school what are the biggest barriers you think about yeah I mean if we're thinking about postsecondary the biggest one would be Financial a lot of people coming out of the foster care system don't really have like the financial kind of support system from you know family networks and things like that but there's also a big kind of social you know support system aspect to that as well um we talk a lot about kind of boomeranging um so when people aren't in care when they do live with their families they can kind of you know come back to their families when things aren't going well so for folks that have been in care and they don't necessarily have those systems every time to follow back on it can be a lot more challenging to you know return to or I guess you don't really have anything to jump back to it's really kind of going all in and that requires a lot of support from um nonprofits or other support systems like ours it's such a um a transitional time of life anyway for people you know what I mean anybody's going to be looking for extra support um if you had to change one thing to sort of bridge that Gap what do you think should be in the system to help young people yeah I mean it's such a complex issue it's really hard to kind of put like a one one solution on it but we talk a lot about transitional supports um you know a lot of advocates in this um doing this kind of work talk a lot about readiness based models so instead of right now where we have an age cut off for a lot of the time people are receiving support from CFS um a more like Readiness based model so when people are exiting care there's like kind of an assessment long-term supports a more transitional rather than just a cut off um but yeah I think there's across the board um a lot of things that could be done differently um how do the challenges potentially impact kids as a school year unfold yeah I mean like you mentioned it's such a transitional time and you know for anyone starting school and we have people going into Adult Ed High School University College it's all coming with their own kind of unique challenges and barriers we talk a lot about you know a big part of our job is like getting people into school but we also have to make sure that you know we're there for support as they're you know experiencing challenges like if they have to you know their first time having to VW a class or you know dealing with a poor grade or like often like that learning curve that you get from postsecondary but also there's other issues that come up we work with a group of people that often you know housing is an issue mental health challenges Financial barriers like I mentioned so it can be um very complicated um and sometimes diverse needs but we really try and do the best work that we can uh I mentioned the backpack kit kits that you were able to hand out there were 57 of them fully packed what was the response like uh do you see the recipients or they of yes so they all pick them up in person at our office and you know everyone's had a very nice you know lots of thanks for us and everything we kind of quote unquote sold out in less than 2 hours which is the fastest I've seen them go out in kind of my 3 years with the program um and people thank us not only for like the physical you know school supplies that we're giving them but I think what we see a lot with programs like these is the recognition for you know for people who are often underrepresented or underserved like just seeing something that's like oh this is for me and for people like me and I think that can be very positive and that's something that we heard a lot of as well of just thank you for doing this for you know youth from care which is really nice as well Evan what what um people may not you know be able to wrap their head around some all all of the differences that you're alluding to here how might someone's experience differ from a youth that's um you know never been in care yeah I mean again I'm talking a lot about boomeranging so if you're someone that was removed from your biological family and living in or whatever your kind of experience with the CFS system was um you know you you don't have the ability necessarily always to fall back on family um or fall back on a support system a lot of these folks are often you know they don't have a lot of work experience a lot of our folks you know these are older statistics but only a third of Youth from care have finished high school so that's why it's so important to kind of encourage these initiatives that support you know employment and education for this population what do you think is needed most right now for kids who are either currently in care or have been in care that's such a tough um question you know it's such a diverse um diverse issues across the board so just supporting more programs that um you know offer those transitional supports I would say is the biggest thing

Trudeau says additional sech charges will also be placed on Chinese steel and aluminum Imports Trudeau made the announcement this morning at the annual cabinet Retreat which is being held in Halifax this year the cbc's Kate McKenna is there and Kate what can you tell us Justin Trudeau is framing this decision as supporting Canada's Auto and Manufacturing sector he said the government of Canada intends to implement a 100% tariff on all Chinese made EVS effect of October 1st and that the federal government will apply a 25% tariff on Imports of Steel and aluminum products from China effective October 15th with this announcement Canada is effectively matching the US tariffs which were announced in May yesterday Joe Biden security adviser Jake Sullivan spoke to Cabinet he told reporters that whether Canada implements tariffs isn't for the US to decide but that there are two distinct challenges regarding Chinese EVS one is that the Chinese electric vehicle industry is heavily subsidized and that is eliminated a Level Playing Field so it's partially an economic response second there are issues associated with data security critical infrastructure and National Security when it comes to Chinese EVS this is the first major announcement to come from this year's cabinet Retreat it's also the first full day that cabinet members are meeting Trudeau will be looking to change the channel on the political discourse which in recent months has been focused on his party's double- digigit lag in the polls and questions about whether Trudeau ought to make major changes to his party strategy or

their bosses outside working hours the right to disconnect law takes effect today workers are now protected if they don't want to monitor read or respond to contact from their employers outside work hours more than 20 countries mostly in Europe and Latin America have adopted the right to disconnect freelance reporter Phil Mercer has reaction from Sydney I suppose it's a for of anxiety you feel the phone ring and I don't think it's one of my friends or family I think it's work there is some expectation that I do pick up Australians are reacting to new rules saying they can now break free from the stress of after hours calls and emails from work you should be able to come to an agreement with your boss whereby it can be amicable but I do think generally today there is far more of an expectation for people to be contacted out of ours the new guidelines brought in by Australia's Center left labor party will be enforced by the country's fairwork commission companies founding contravention will face Hefty fines however there's still a gray area in some cases where bosses need to consider workers ignoring contact as reasonable Brent Ferguson is from the Australian Industry Group what's reasonable or unreasonable is going to depend on the individual circumstances and that uncertainty is part of the difficulty that industry is really grappling with at the moment Australian workers now have a right to disconnect which is really awesome Sally mcmanis is the secretary of the Australian Council of trade unions not all employers but some employers have completely blurred or just crossed over those boundaries and are expecting people to be connected and answer their emails and look at their phones 24/7 and that's just not on the covid pandemic and remote work setups blurred the lines between employment and private lives observers say Australia's right to disconnect law is an attempt to rebalance bance the Working Day Phil merer for CBC News Sydney and that

morning not a lot of calls going off right now but if you see something there's still a little bit more time on our morning show today so whether you're walking biking busing or driving however you're getting around you can give us a call at 204 788 3093 [Music] well if you were with us in the last hour you heard an interview all about how Red River College college Polytech is back for the fall session today you're going to see the red t-shirts on the various campuses around Manitoba in fact in the two here and wiip Peg uh though most of the little students don't go back until next week but it does beg the question have you bought all the school supplies yet well as I alluded to maybe you don't need to get it all before the Bell Rings we spoke with CBC personal finance colist Rina ahed hakot how families can stretch their budgets and reain in back to school costs good morning thanks for having me so how much emphasis do parents typically need to put on back to school spending for their kids you know in from my perspective parents put way too much emphasis on back to school spending and myself included I've been caught up in the hype of my kids need to have everything before the first day of class so of course parents need to focus on getting their kids ready for class um you know having the things that they need uh for the first few days at the very least um I really recommend especially if your budget's tight you're worried about your credit card bill worried about cash flow that you do what I like to call the half shop or the part shop where you really just buy the things that your children will need for the first few days of class maybe even the first week but then when they get back into the classroom then make the bigger decisions about school supplies and maybe the must have items because they're often affected by what they see around them and you know the things that you bought last week uh when they get to school they're not going to like it anymore because none of their friends are wearing that brand anymore so you don't want to be in that situation as well and that's why I really recommend just spreading the shopping out for back to school from you know August right up until the beginning of October I don't think there's anything wrong with that how do you suggest parents approach budgeting for back to school uh to keep the cost down where possible like how do you attempt to be realistic with that so there if there ever was a time to say I'm not keeping up with the Jones this is it because it is really easy because it's all about our children which is probably you know marketers know that as well that you know this is the the people that we want to we want to make happy the most right in our lives um unlike Christmas where sometimes we can be a little bit more pragmatic like you know Uncle Uncle John is only going to get a $15 gift this year because I haven't seen him and he hasn't called me and it's really easy to be a bit more sort of strict about the budget when you when it's it's the holidays but um you really need to know what you can afford don't be affected by the things that are around you I mean if one thing I recommend is don't go to the mall too often because the more you go to the mall the more you're likely to pick up extra items so be really focused and targeted when you are shopping um and focus on things that your children actually are going to use in the first little while I made the mistake of buying um winter gear for my kids in in August because over a dinner party my friend said oh you know um sometimes there's really really low selection by the time November rolls around that's not the case I just want to make sure that everyone knows that and that you can you know still shop for your children later on in the so that's the one thing to keep in mind and also realize that U Back to School is the second biggest time for retail retailers after Christmas and so they're out there you know with the signs the must haves the you know get them back to school in style and all that kind of marketing um and to just be aware that we are heading into the most expensive time of year and this is the second most after the holidays do you talk to the kids about budgeting and money absolutely it's all about them why not involve them from from the start even at kindergarten I was taking my children with me it takes longer sometimes can be a lot more frustrating but they get the things they want I think it makes them feel a lot more in control of you know what they're wearing and what they're using often times my child will choose something that I wouldn't have chose for them but they wear it every day because they love it so much and that makes me feel you know that average cost of use which I'm really you know obsessed with is that how much does it cost per use rather than how much do it cost at source um if they can wear that and it's a dollar average dollar a use I'm pretty happy with that item so take them with you teach them things like delayed gratification budgeting value based uh spending um all of that these lessons that now when you start instilling in them are going to stay with them all throughout their their childhood their adolesence and into adult what about the uh the seller marketplaces or the uh the thrift stores uh other places where you can look for gently used things for back to school so when you are starting your list of things that you think you you believe your child needs the first place you should tap is the uh it's the hand-me down Market I like to call it or the free market I know that I have always had a network of people around me that give me hand-me-downs for my children we make it into you know a bit of an event where we sit down and we go through the bag of stuff and what they don't want we donate on to another family that's obviously free there's a lot of free groups that you can join on on Facebook that are local and easy to to access and thrift stores are often 90 to 95% cheaper than what you would buy brand new so that has to be your goal too if you really want to save big money um and and and also make sure that you are doing the inventory at home you're not reing things that already exist in your house uh there's a real big push now towards what's called under consumption and part of that is uh consuming things that you already have or are easily accessible maybe you know through through your own network um when you differentiate between needs versus wants which is of course what we all should be doing with any of our spending what does that look like for back to school so you know sometimes I think it's okay for children to have some of those wants because it makes them feel sort of proud to be back in the classroom proud to have that item I think there is element of that and if you can afford to buy a couple of things for them that are you know is definitely just a want um I don't think there's anything wrong with that parents should not feel like back to school has to all be about just only what you need only the pencils and erasers and a pair of writing shoes I think if you can afford to do so I think that that does just create a little bit of excitement as well for for back to school but you really do want your list to tilt towards the needs um the things that they actually need the backpack the water bottle the supplies uh teachers often send you um suggestions of things that they think will help their your kids in the classroom focus on that as well and uh and take your time don't buy it all at once and if you do keep your receipts don't wash it like mistake I made one year too where I washed everything and hung it up and realized oh they're not even wearing it I could should have returned this um so don't make those kind of mistakes as well so that if you need to exchange your return you still can do so um any final thoughts um for for keeping your budget on track and and those costs in checked so if you are going to be spending money and so a big chunk of your budget makes towards Tech I highly recommend that you if you can that that's where you focus your spending on I've made the mistake as well where I've bought cheaper Tech and I've had to re I've had to repurchase it the next year or replace it the next year um by by purchasing a better quality Tech it's going to last them longer and they won't you know asking you next year again for that same laptop it might last them many many years longer and again going back to that piece of per use cost per use rather than how much is it costing at source if you are going to spend I think that's the place especially for older students off to you know high school or university I think that would serve them better all right rabina thank you thank you that's cbc's personal finance columnist rabina ahed Haw of course uh most schools across Winnipeg will return to class uh most students will return to class next week however Red River started today uh I will mention here our noon Callin today so between 12:30 and 1:00 right here on cbc's 893 FM you might tune

they're still tearing that down uh today they'll be finishing the cleanup but the headliners over the last number of days last night it was Tom Cochran uh Blue Rodeo and the headstones also headlined in previous nights lots of local talent being represented like Indian city and neighbor Andy last night and I know for last night it was just uh really lovely uh to be there with everybody uh despite the hot weather uh kind of just still sweating it out enjoying some good local music and I loved it now I haven't yet mentioned the arel who also headlined but uh Dylan has been waiting patiently to talk about that because you were at the arel show and you saw um I guess the crowd experience together a really uh really lovely moment yeah the arel I've never seen them live before they're great

show I know uh Tom Cochran was up performing and uh still him pretty good voice like wow Tom Cochran how many years has he been on stage pumping out the hits uh but he was talking about his tune big league and I hadn't realized that he actually permanently altered the lyrics um he was telling a story about a wristband he was wearing that was given to him uh by a mother of the uh goalie and the humble Broncos who lost his life in that horrific crash in the highway and he said he met that mother and told her you know what I'm going to change one of the verses for your son in honor of your son and the other players and I won't change it back he said so he never sings that song now the original way if you remember that tune bigly from back in the day he sings it with that altered lyric so you can look that up and read more about it if you'd like to but he was nodding to that last night on the stage uh in Winnipeg I'm Marcy marusa with our team here at information radio on CBC thanks so
