Michelle Eliot is back in the host's seat today. We start with more on the aftermath of the earthquake disasters in Turkey and Syria, and the moment a miraculous rescue from the rubble was caught on camera. Also on the show: for the second month in a row, the Canadian economy added jobs at a rate that blew past expectations. The news comes as the province's Labour Market Outlook predicts one million new jobs in B.C. over the next decade. But behind it all, there are challenges. Labour shortages are making it difficult for many businesses to grow. And the national economy is expected to lose steam in the short-term. We discuss what it means for workers, and for the economy, and take your calls. And in the second half of Friday's program: listeners tell us about their favourite books about Black Canadian experiences. Michelle speaks to Ryan B. Patrick of CBC Books about the Black Canadian writers who are making their mark. To share your thoughts on today's program, you can email the team at bctoday@cbc.ca.
