About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming traffic disruption in Vancouver's Broadway corridor and the implications of government-run grocery stores, alongside a public health emergency in Manitoba due to rising HIV cases.

Another major traffic disruption is coming to Vancouver’s Broadway corridor. Some politicians have floated the idea of government-run grocery stores, but a new report from the Montreal Economic Institute argues those models have a poor track record and could end up costing taxpayers far more than they save shoppers. And Manitoba declares a public health emergency over a sharp rise in HIV diagnoses. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
