Canada COVID-19 Vaccine, Teachers Mental Health, BDO, The Travel Lady

Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Tuesday, September 1st. We begin with Monday’s announcement by the Federal Government that over 100 million doses of a potential COVID-19 vaccine have been secured for our nation. We get the details from Mike Le Couteur, Global’s Parliamentary Correspondent in Ottawa. It’s time to get back to school. A lot of discussion over the return to class has surrounded the stress on both parents and students ahead of the return to class – but what about the teachers? We look at the mental health of educators teaching in this ‘new normal’. Alberta has the highest percentage of mortgage deferrals in the country. What are the ‘real’ options for homeowners if they can no longer afford to pay their mortgage?  We get some advice from a Licensed Insolvency Trustee from BDO Canada. And finally – How comfortable would you be traveling to the Caribbean or Mexico right now? We catch up with ‘The Travel Lady’, Lesley Keyter – to hear what one company is doing to try and get you to book a trip.
