Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Friday, September 18th.

We begin with our weekly conversation with Mayor Naheed Nenshi. With the announcement this week that Ward 11 Councilor Jeromy Farkas will be running for Mayor in the next civic election, we ask Mayor Nenshi – the question on many people’s minds: Does he intend to run again?

How do Canadians feel about shutting down businesses if there is a second wave of COVID-19? We speak with IPSOS CEO Darrell Bricker on the results of a new poll that looks at the topic – and the results may surprise you.

Then we head down South for a look at the upcoming federal election and the impact of the Coronavirus Crisis. We hear from Jackson Proskow – Washington Bureau Chief for Global News – as the U.S. will record over 200-thousand deaths from COVID-19 in the coming days.

And finally – “Rosh Hashanah” kicks off on Friday night. We’ll learn about the significance of the Jewish Holiday – and how it is celebrated in our City – with Rabbi Menacham Matusof.
