Trump’s COVID, Mayor Nenshi, Grocery Hoarding, CIBC Run for the Cure

Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Friday, October 2nd. We begin with the news that President Donald Trump and the First Lady have tested positive for COVID-19. We speak with Global Washington Correspondent Reggie Cecchini for details on what this means – with the US Federal Election just 32 days away. Next – it’s our weekly conversation with Mayor Naheed Nenshi.  We talk to the Mayor about the recent committee vote to move further ‘down the road’ toward lowering residential speed limits in the city. Then we look at the return of ‘Grocery Hoarding’ during the Pandemic. We speak with a Food Economist to ask if there is any possibility of seeing shortages at the supermarket. And finally – ahead of this weekend’s CIBC Run for the Cure – we speak with spokesperson and cancer survivor Claire Kolman.  We hear Claire’s personal story – and how this year’s “virtual” run will be a little different.
