Welcome to the “Mornings with Sue & Andy” podcast for Tuesday, May 25th.

As more Canadians get the COVID-19 vaccine, questions remain on what the summer might look like. Will Canadians be able to travel to other provinces, for example, or go across the US border? We discuss the topic with Mercedes Stephenson, Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and Host of “The West Block”.

Monday was “Tax Freedom Day,” a day where statistically an average Canadian family gets to keep the money it’s making rather than paying it in taxes. We speak with Jake Fuss, Senior Economist from the Fraser Institute about the significance of the day and why he thinks the date will be much later in the coming years.

It’s a good news/bad news scenario when it comes to cruise vacations. We catch up with “The Travel Lady”, Lesley Keyter to discuss when cruise lines will be back up & running. Also, how the new schedule will see major vacation companies skipping over a popular Canadian port of call.

And finally, it’s Mental Health Month. We look at the impact social media has on the mental health of women. As well, what women can do to curate their Facebook feeds and Instagram posts to safeguard themselves.
