Roger Kingcade is the Showgram's Chief Alberta Correspondent (he won't talk to us unless we call him that), and joins Jim to discuss why young Albertans are leaving the province and to give a preview of what we can look for in the municipal elections tomorrow. One of the biggest comets seen by astronomers is headed towards Earth! The Showgram's favourite astronomer, and professor at York University, Paul Delaney joins the show to discuss all things space! "My heart just stopped" - On Thanksgiving long weekend in 2019, Jason DeRuiter, a Nanaimo man in his mid-40s, crossed the finish line of the marathon often referred to as the Good Life Marathon. Noticing something was off, he stumbled into the medical tent and crumpled to the ground. His heart had failed. Jason joins the Showgram to tell his story. The global charity World Animal Protection wants PetSmart to end the sale of reptiles and amphibians as exotic pets. This would save animals and help end the cruel wildlife trade says the charity. The wildlife trade is a multi-billion-dollar industry that risks public health, biodiversity, ecosystems and is a significant source of animal suffering. The global charity is asking PetSmart to value the lives of animals over profit. Melissa Matlow is the Wildlife Campaign Manager at World Animal Protections, and she joins the Showgram to discuss why this is an important issue! #wildlifeprotection #animalprotection #marathon #Alberta #Astronomy #comet
