Mercedes Stephenson, Sarah Offin- Calgary Transit, Dr. J, The Travel Lady

Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Tuesday, October 13th. We begin with our weekly conversation with Mercedes Stephenson – Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and Host of The West Block.  Mercedes brings us the latest on the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in both Quebec and Ontario – and details of new restrictions being put in place in many cities to battle the virus.  Next we speak with Global Calgary Reporter Sarah Offin about changes Calgary Transit is implementing in several Southwest Communities to address lower ridership – while still providing service the residents depend on. ‘Tis the season….of the common cold. We catch up with Dr. Ted Jablonski, our “on-call family physician” with tips on how to effectively deal with the runny nose and ‘scratchy’ throat that are all too common this time of year. And finally – as the temperature starts to ‘chill’ - the snowbirds get the urge to fly.  We’ll hear about the options available to those who still want to escape to cold – with “The Travel Lady” – Lesley Keyter.
